## FAQ

### How do I call Hitem3D Hi3D Texture through SandBase?

Create a SandBase API key, then send requests with the model ID "hitem3d/hi3d/texture" to Unified Run API (/v1/run) at https://api.sandbase.ai. The request examples on this page show the exact payload.

### Do I need a separate Hitem3D account?

No. One SandBase API key and balance gives you access to Hitem3D Hi3D Texture and the other models in the catalog; you do not need to sign up with Hitem3D separately.
