## What it is
Articraft is a research tool that generates articulated 3D assets from text prompts or reference images by having an LLM write Python using a 3D authoring SDK, then compiling and exporting posable USDZ files. It includes a viewer, SDK, CLI tools, and a companion dataset; this repo is superseded by articraftresearch/Articraft.

## Use cases
- generate articulated 3d models from text prompts
- create posable 3d objects with joints from a description
- reconstruct a 3d asset from a reference image
- export usdz files for 3d viewing
- research code for articulated 3d asset generation paper

## When to choose
- you need programmatically generated, joint-articulated 3D assets from prompts
- you want to reproduce or build on the Articraft paper's approach
- you want an LLM-driven 3D authoring SDK with a viewer

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade, stable 3D generation (project is pre-1.0 and under active development)
- you want this specific repo - it is superseded by articraftresearch/Articraft
- you cannot run generated model.py code due to its security implications
