Compare / Rodin direct
Npx8 vs using Rodin directly
Rodin 2.5 is an advanced engine behind More options. Here is what the workspace adds on top of calling it yourself.
| Feature | Rodin direct | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Forge by default; Rodin 2.5 behind More options on Studio and Studio+ | Rodin only |
| Failure handling | Forge checkpoints each pass and resumes a failed run | Retry yourself |
| Library | Projects, search, filters, bulk actions | Your own storage |
| Export | GLB + OBJ for Forge assets, with base color and an optional normal map | Raw model output |
| Sharing | Expiring share links, opt-in public gallery, oEmbed and iframe embeds | Up to you |
Where Npx8 wins
- No API keys or webhook code to manage
- Library and sharing included
- Resume a failed Forge run from the last pass
Where Rodin direct wins
- Direct API gives full control of every parameter
- No extra layer between you and the model
Frequently asked questions
- Do I get the same quality as Rodin direct?
- Rodin behind More options sends your prompt and images to Rodin 2.5 and stores the original output.
- Can I still call Rodin myself?
- Of course. Npx8 is for people who want the workspace around it.
