Duiyou 堆友 (Alibaba Design)
Alibaba's free 3D-asset library bundled with AI image generation
Overview
Duiyou (堆友), from Alibaba's in-house design team, pairs AI image generation (text-to-image, image-to-image, one-click style match) with a library of 1,000+ commercially-licensed 3D models, avatars and scenes plus an online renderer, aimed at working e-commerce and product designers.

Duiyou's pitch is straightforward: Alibaba's design org built a 3D asset library — thousands of models, avatars and scenes cleared for commercial use — and bolted AI generation onto it, so a product designer can pull a rendered 3D scene, restyle it with AI, and ship a commercial asset without touching Blender or paying for a stock-photo license. That combination is genuinely useful for e-commerce and marketing teams, less so for anyone who just wants a Midjourney alternative.
Downloads cost "duidou" credits (50 free per day, 10 per download), and the free tier covers casual use. Paid tiers unlock the larger 3D and material libraries, running ¥39/month up to ¥299/year for individuals, plus a ¥399/year team tier. It's Chinese-language, has no public API, and is built for Alibaba's own design ecosystem first — treat it as a browser tool rather than something you integrate into a pipeline.
What people say
Duiyou gets consistently positive but fairly shallow coverage — Zhihu explainer posts and AI-tool directory write-ups (优设网, 非猪AI导航) rather than any critical review or head-to-head comparison. The recurring praise is specific, though: 优设网's walkthrough calls out "1,000+ free commercial-use 3D assets" as the reason to bother with Duiyou over a generic AI image generator, and multiple sources repeat the same structural description — 3D asset library, real-time online rendering, and AI generation (text-to-image, image-to-image, style transfer) stitched into one workflow instead of three separate tools.
The credit system (堆豆/"duidou") comes up in every write-up that covers actual usage: 50 free credits on daily login, 10 spent per asset download, with paid tiers unlocking the "advanced" 3D model library (pitched at 1,000+ professional models versus 500+ in the free library) and a much larger materials library. Membership pricing runs ¥39/month, ¥109/quarter, ¥179/half-year or ¥299/year for individuals, and a ¥399/year team tier for two-plus seats with shared render compute and asset management — pricing nobody in the coverage complains about, likely because the free tier is generous enough that casual users rarely hit the paywall.
No source in this pass — Chinese or English — flagged reliability problems, slow rendering, or licensing disputes over the "free commercial use" claim, though none of the coverage is adversarial enough to have stress-tested that guarantee either. The strongest signal of legitimacy is the Alibaba Design branding itself: this isn't an anonymous startup wrapper around Stable Diffusion, it's an internal tool Alibaba's design team built for its own e-commerce ecosystem and then opened to outside designers, which explains both the polish and the total absence of an API or international rollout — it was never built to be a platform business, just a design-team resource that went public.
That internal-tool origin also shows up in how narrowly the coverage frames Duiyou: nobody positions it against Midjourney, Adobe Firefly or generic Chinese image generators, because the actual competing set is other 3D-asset marketplaces (Sketchfab-style libraries) that don't bundle AI generation on top. For a designer already working in Alibaba's e-commerce tooling ecosystem, that bundling is the whole reason to open the app; for anyone outside it, the value proposition is much thinner.
