this isn't a 3D model.

let's fix that

how to create *game-ready* 3D Assets with AI and Blender

The future of Blender is really exciting (using Hugging Face meshgen plugin)

- "create a ground plane and randomly scatter around some placeholder bushes"
- "add a big oak tree in the middle of the scene"

It's a great example of AI as a tool to make 3D artists' lives easier, not to replace them

🚀 Introducing meshgen v0.7

Control Blender with AI Agents - entirely locally

☁️ Like Blender-MCP entirely within Blender
🤗 Supports both local models and remote APIs

more details below 👇

Creating a cube with AI in Blender

it's kind of like creating a cube without AI, but 100x slower 🎉

but the AI is running completely locally within Blender. major release coming soon

Impressive new Image-to-3D model from Tencent!

Here's how the topology (left) compares to the open source state-of-the-art (right)

(using the `Simplify` option for reduced poly count)

🚀 Announcing meshgen (AI in Blender) Update 0.6

🤗 Now supports remote backend via litellm, e.g. Hugging Face, ollama
🎨 UI/UX overhaul

This lays the foundation for Blender agents and more advanced 3D AI models (coming this year)
March 14, 2025 at 8:09 PM
3D artists have been asking for AI topology tools for a while now

really exciting to see generative 3D research that is
1. Iterative
2. Topology-aware

definitely a step in the right direction!

meshgen (AI in Blender) update 🥳

meshgen now uses the new blender extension system, massively simplifying dependency management

this lays the foundation for a lot more to come soon

🧊 New dataset of 50k+ low poly obj meshes

🎢 objaverse subsampled to <500 poly models, converted to untextured objs

🔧 suitable for training autoregressive transformer-based 3D models, which have limited context length, such as LLaMA-Mesh

📢 New #1 in Generative 3D

CSM/Cube from Common Sense Machines is now the top ranked image-to-3d model
February 27, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Hunyuan3D-2 has been added to the 3D Arena leaderboard! 🤗

It looks impressive and is definitely a leader, but may still be outperformed by TRELLIS, which is smaller and produces less dense topology

🟦 New Image-to-3D model from Stability AI

Stable Point Aware 3D (SPAR3D)

here's how it looks, with TRELLIS for comparison
January 10, 2025 at 5:41 PM
Here's a recap of what happened in AI 3D in 2024
December 30, 2024 at 10:44 PM
meshgen v0.3.1 has been released!

adds support for:
🦙 Ollama server backend
⚙️ more platforms
December 23, 2024 at 5:49 PM
TRELLIS is now the highest ranked open-source model on the 3D Arena Leaderboard, surpassing InstantMesh
December 12, 2024 at 8:01 PM
🟦 New open-source Image-to-3D model from Microsoft

TRELLIS: Structured 3D Latents for Scalable and Versatile 3D Generation

it's really good! the topology isn't clean, but it's a very very good 3D reference
December 6, 2024 at 5:20 PM
meshgen 0.3 now uses llama-cpp and quantized LLaMA-Mesh, dramatically improving performance and memory requirements

🔥 loads 10x faster
🚄 runs 5x faster

running real-time on RTX 4090 in the video
