Thanks, we'll put that link in the toptext as well.

you can chat with vlm.run to generate these assets from image generation without needing a gpu.

these are garbage compared to what's shown in the posting.
shen•1mo ago
Got a good laugh out of these, thanks.
visioninmyblood•1mo ago
was fun generating the as well
Wowfunhappy•1mo ago
If it takes 60 seconds on a GPU I can leave it running over night on a CPU. (And going off previous experience, it won't be even be that slow, I'm just being conservative.)
summarity•1mo ago
TRELLIS 1 had a massive impact on the research in this area, not least because it’s actually open (full dataset, training and inference). Research like SynCity or PhysX-3D (not the NVIDIA one) wouldn’t have been possible.

Excites for the follow ups for this new generation.

OldMatey•1mo ago
State of the art for Open Source. This is a nice improvement, but far out I cannot wait for a Sparc3D equivalent for local use. Its a step change in quality. I really hope Hunyuan3D-3 is the one to level up to that quality now
Geee•1mo ago
To me it seems Trellis 2 has higher quality and it also generates PBR materials and textures.
nice_byte•1mo ago
You can play with a demo here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/microsoft/TRELLIS.2 (requires a hugging face acct)

The results from arbitrary pictures are not nearly as good as what's shown in the posting. So either the demo is running a gimped version of the model or the examples are _very_ handpicked.

dvh•1mo ago
Where they get training data from?
summarity•1mo ago
> All our model, code, and dataset will be publicly released to facilitate reproduction and further research.

Will take some time to publish. The TRELLIS 1 dataset is public here: https://github.com/microsoft/TRELLIS/blob/main/DATASET.md

I'm surprised at the lukewarm reception. Admittedly I don't follow the image-to-3D space as much, but last time I checked in, the gloopy fuzzy outputs did not impress me.

I want to highlight what I believe is the coolest innovation: their novel O-Voxel data structure. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how they figured out the conversion from voxel-space to mesh-space. Those two worlds don't work well together.

A 2D analogy is that they figured out an efficient, bidirectional, one-shot method of converting PNG's into SVG's, without iteration. Crazy.

mlpro•1mo ago
Oh, look - a new 3D model with a new idea - more data.
