Tencent's Hunyuan 3D Studio Gets Major Upgrade With Brush Controls

Tencent Unveils Enhanced 3D Modeling Tools

Tencent's Hunyuan 3D Studio has taken a significant leap forward with its latest public beta release. Version 1.2 introduces game-changing features that promise to transform how designers create digital assets.

Precision Meets Intuition

The standout feature in this update is undoubtedly the new brush interaction system. Imagine sculpting digital clay with the same precision as working with traditional tools - that's what Tencent has achieved here. The upgraded PartGen 1.5 engine now supports resolution up to $1536^3$, capturing finer details than ever before.

"We wanted to bridge the gap between technical complexity and creative expression," explains Tencent's product lead. "The brush controls let artists focus on their vision rather than wrestling with software limitations."

Seeing All Angles

Beyond component-level control, the update dramatically expands modeling perspectives. Where previous versions supported four views, designers can now work with eight reference angles - including tricky top-down and oblique perspectives that were previously challenging.

The underlying Hunyuan 3D 3.1 engine brings equally important improvements:

  • More accurate color reproduction under different lighting conditions
  • Enhanced geometric detailing approaching carving-quality results
  • Smoother workflow integration for professional pipelines

Available Now

The public beta means anyone can test these tools without special access requests. Early adopters report significant time savings on complex projects, particularly in architectural visualization and product design.

Key Points:

  • 🖌️ Brush Precision: New intuitive controls let designers sculpt components naturally
  • 🔄 Multi-Angle Workflow: Eight-view support eliminates blind spots in modeling
  • 🎭 Texture Fidelity: Improved rendering captures materials realistically
  • ⚡ Performance Boost: Higher resolution handling without compromising speed
