CSM

CSM.ai, developed by Common Sense Machines, is an artificial intelligence platform that generates 3D models and 3D worlds from images, text descriptions and rough sketches. Outputs include geometry, texture and material information, and the platform positions itself around generating not only static assets but dynamic environments in which objects carry physics properties such as weight, friction and collision behavior, making them usable in game engines and simulation.

The product set includes image-to-3D, text-to-3D and sketch-to-3D generation, controllable generation for customizing assets, multi-view support for geometrically consistent reconstruction from different angles, PBR material support, adjustable polygon count for targeting anything from mobile games to cinematic renders, and export in formats compatible with engines such as Unity and Unreal. Generation runs on cloud servers; users can inspect, edit and export results, and an API allows integration into third-party applications and production pipelines. The flagship model is Cube 2.0, described as trained on NVIDIA H100 GPUs and producing high-resolution 3D models with physics properties in seconds.

Reported limitations include UV artifacts in textures and reduced accuracy on mechanical objects.

Business model

CSM.ai operates as a self-serve, freemium web platform with paid subscription tiers and an API. The free tier runs on shared servers and makes generated models publicly visible, while paid plans add private servers, confidential generation, priority processing and expanded API quotas. Entry-level paid pricing is listed at $20 per month.

Subscription revenue from paid tiers (listed from $20 per month) layered on a free tier, with paid plans differentiated by private/confidential generation, priority processing and API quota.
