Overview

CGDream is an AI image and 3D content generation platform launched by CGTrader, an established 3D model marketplace, with a public launch on November 14, 2023. The company operates out of Vilnius, Lithuania, and built CGDream on top of its existing library of 3D assets to give AI-generated images more structural control than text-to-image tools alone allow.

Rather than relying on text prompts in isolation, CGDream lets users guide generation with 3D models and reference images, feeding that structural data into Flux Dev and Flux Pro models developed in partnership with Black Forest Labs. The result is a workflow where users can control composition, shading, and geometry before the AI renders a final 2D image or exports a 3D model from a text or image prompt.

CGDream targets game developers, marketers, product designers, and NFT creators who need composition control that text-to-image generators alone cannot deliver. The platform runs a credit-based subscription: a free tier includes 3,000 monthly credits, with paid plans starting at $8/month (Basic, 10,000 credits) and scaling to $24/month (Pro) and $48/month (Premium) for production-level use, all with commercial usage rights included.

Key features

  • Text-to-3D and image-to-3D model generation
  • 3D-guided image rendering using reference models for composition control
  • Flux Dev and Flux Pro generation models built with Black Forest Labs
  • Inpainting, upscaling, and 2D-to-3D conversion tools
  • Over 300 style filters for image generation
  • Browser-based workflow with no software installation
