# Tripo API Node Model Generation ComfyUI Official Example

> This article will introduce how to use Tripo node's API in ComfyUI for model generation

Tripo AI is a company focused on generative AI 3D modeling. It provides user-friendly platforms and API services that can quickly convert text prompts or 2D images (single or multiple) into high-quality 3D models.
ComfyUI has now natively integrated the corresponding Tripo API, allowing you to conveniently use the related nodes in ComfyUI for model generation.

Currently, ComfyUI's Partner nodes support the following Tripo model generation capabilities:

* Text-to-model
* Image-to-model
* Multi-view model generation
* Rig model
* Retarget rigged model

<Tip>
  To use the API nodes, you need to ensure that you are logged in properly and using a permitted network environment. Please refer to the [API Nodes Overview](/tutorials/partner-nodes/overview) section of the documentation to understand the specific requirements for using the API nodes.

    <Tab title="Portable or self deployed users">
      Make sure your ComfyUI is updated.

      * [Download ComfyUI](https://www.comfy.org/download)
      * [Update Guide](/installation/update_comfyui)

      Workflows in this guide can be found in the [Workflow Templates](/interface/features/template).
      If you can't find them in the template, your ComfyUI may be outdated. (Desktop version's update will delay sometime)

      If nodes are missing when loading a workflow, possible reasons:

      1. You are not using the latest ComfyUI version (Nightly version)
      2. Some nodes failed to import at startup
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Desktop or Cloud users">
      * The Desktop is base on ComfyUI stable release, it will auto-update when there is a new Desktop stable release available.
      * [Cloud](https://cloud.comfy.org) will update after ComfyUI stable release.

      So, if you find any core node missing in this document, it might be because the new core nodes have not yet been released in the latest stable version. Please wait for the next stable release.

## Text-to-Model Workflow

### 1. Workflow File Download

Download the file below and drag it into ComfyUI to load the corresponding workflow.

<a className="prose" target="_blank" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Comfy-Org/example_workflows/refs/heads/main/api_nodes/tripo/api_tripo_text_to_model.json" style={{ display: 'inline-block', backgroundColor: '#0078D6', color: '#ffffff', padding: '10px 20px', borderRadius: '8px', borderColor: "transparent", textDecoration: 'none', fontWeight: 'bold'}}>
  <p className="prose" style={{ margin: 0, fontSize: "0.8rem" }}>Download Json Format Workflow File</p>
</a>

### 2. Complete the Workflow Execution Step by Step

You can refer to the numbers in the image to complete the basic text-to-model workflow execution:

1. In the `Tripo: Text to Model` node, input your prompt in the `prompt` field
   * model: You can select different models, currently only v1.4 model supports subsequent optimization with `Tripo: Refine Draft model`
   * style: You can set different styles
   * texture\_quality: You can set different texture qualities
2. Click the `Run` button, or use the shortcut `Ctrl(cmd) + Enter` to execute model generation. After the workflow completes, the corresponding model will be automatically saved to the `ComfyUI/output/` directory
3. In the `Preview 3D` node, click to expand the menu
4. Select `Export` to directly export the corresponding model

## Image-to-Model Workflow

## Subsequent Task Processing for the Same Task

Tripo's corresponding nodes provide subsequent processing for the same task, you only need to input the corresponding `model_task_id` in the relevant nodes, and we have also provided the corresponding nodes in the relevant templates, you can also modify the corresponding node mode as needed to enable it
