MeshSplatBench: A Unified Benchmark for Triangle- and Mesh-Based Neural Rendering

MeshSplatBench is the first benchmark designed to evaluate triangle- and mesh-based neural rendering methods from native rendering to deployment in graphics engines such as Unity and Blender. It introduces a hierarchical deployment protocol with standard and dedicated options, and a structural audit for mesh splatting to assess topological and geometric integrity. The benchmark’s evaluations show that graphics engine deployment degrades quality, dedicated deployment preserves fidelity at a significant speed cost, and current mesh splatting methods lack sufficient connectivity for manifoldness.

ToCo-Mesh: Topology-Consistent Dynamic Mesh Reconstruction via Adaptive Tessellation and Surface-Aligned 2DGS

ToCo-Mesh is a dynamic mesh reconstruction framework that preserves topology consistency while achieving high‑fidelity geometry from multi‑view temporal images. It uses a dual‑mesh representation, coupling a canonical template mesh to time‑varying coarse guide meshes via barycentric parameterization, and applies error‑driven split‑and‑merge operations on the template to refine detail. A Surface‑Aligned 2DGS module anchors flattened Gaussians to mesh faces, using rendered normals to guide fine‑tuning and suppress surface irregularities, resulting in photorealistic rendering.

M-plicits: Neural Implicit Surfaces via Nested Multiscale Residuals

M-plicits introduces a multiscale framework for neural implicit surfaces that models a surface as a residual sum of MLPs trained on nested neighborhoods. By localizing supervision to narrow bands around previous zero-level sets, the method achieves robustness to noisy input, avoids costly mesh extraction, and enables a multiscale sphere-tracing algorithm with analytical normal computation. Experiments on Stanford and Thingi32 show superior Chamfer distance and IoU metrics compared to existing methods while using far fewer parameters.
