# How does BlueFox 1 generate 3D?

BlueFox 1, built by Hawan Research Labs and run in Hydrilla, turns a text prompt or reference image into a segmented mesh with PBR maps you can preview and export.

## What is Hydrilla vs BlueFox vs Hawan Research Labs?

Hydrilla is the product: studio, workspaces, credits, preview, and export. BlueFox 3D is the model family. BlueFox 1 is the model that runs generation today. Hawan Research Labs builds BlueFox. Keep the three names separate.

Read the model page: [BlueFox 3D](/bluefox3d). Read the lab page: [Research](/research).

## What inputs does BlueFox 1 take?

A text prompt, a reference image, or both. Name the object, style, and scale when you write. Use a still when you already have a look.

## What does segmentation mean here?

Meshes arrive split into logical parts, not a solid blob, so you can select, assign materials, and continue in a DCC instead of starting from one fused mesh.

## What PBR maps do you get?

Base color, metalness, roughness, and normals. Preview them in Hydrilla before you download.

## What are the limits?

Hydrilla is for production-ready generated assets you can refine. It is not CAD, not print-ready engineering, and not a finished hero with no artist pass.
