MeshCarve: Artisan Mesh Generation with Flow Matching in Compact Latent Spaces

MeshCarve introduces a flow‑matching approach that generates artisan meshes entirely within compact latent spaces, separating vertex positions and edge connections to avoid joint encoding issues. It employs a hierarchical sparse transformer backbone with VertexVAE and EdgeVAE, which anchor on discrete vertices to drastically shorten token sequences and use spatial‑aware compression without sacrificing reconstruction quality. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art autoregressive and flow‑matching techniques on Objaverse and generalizes to Toys4K, representing one of the first fully compressed latent artisan mesh generators.

MeshOctave: Vertex Split-and-Rewire Cascades for Native Mesh Generation

MeshOctave introduces a novel approach to native mesh generation that replaces sequential autoregressive or heuristic flow models with a parallel, coarse-to-fine paradigm. By defining scales through dyadic spatial grid resolutions, it collapses vertices deterministically and then performs split-and-rewire operations to reconstruct fine topology without serialization. The method employs a scale-conditioned masked-uniform discrete diffusion model, achieving higher geometric fidelity and topological validity while supporting adaptive resolution refinement and mesh subdivision tasks.

TriFlow: Generating Artist-Like 3D Mesh Topology via Nearest-Vertex Vector Fields

TriFlow introduces a generative method for creating compact 3D meshes with artist‑like triangle topology directly from input geometry such as signed distance fields. It represents mesh topology as a nearest‑vertex vector field (NVF) over the surface, trains a latent flow‑matching model to synthesize this field, and then clusters surface regions to guide a constrained quadric error metric simplification. The resulting meshes closely match the input geometry while exhibiting structured, artist‑like connectivity, achieving 90% lower Chamfer Distance and an 8× speedup over state‑of‑the‑art learning‑based approaches.

SeamFlow: Structure-Aware Flow Matching on Edge Probabilities for Artist-Like UV Unwrapping

SeamFlow is a new generative framework for 3D surface cutting and UV unwrapping that reformulates the discrete mesh‑cutting problem as continuous flow matching in a high‑dimensional edge‑probability space. By learning a deterministic mapping from a Gaussian prior to a target seam‑probability distribution and using an evolution network to couple local topological tokens with global shape priors, SeamFlow guides smooth probability flow through ODE solving. Compared with existing autoregressive generative methods, SeamFlow improves topology awareness, eliminates 3D spatial projection errors and artificial sequential‑order bias, and achieves exceptional semantic coherence with remarkably low parameterization distortion.

KaiNinja: Extending Native 3D Generators to the Part Level

KaiNinja extends the native 3D generator TRELLIS.2 to produce part-level meshes by introducing a dual‑volume representation that overcomes the single‑sheet limitation of the O‑Voxel grid. It maintains TRELLIS.2’s speed and quality while eliminating the need for external segmentation, and is trained on diverse data including CAD models and assets created by an LLM‑driven agent. The method improves whole‑object fidelity and outperforms other part‑generation pipelines, reducing Chamfer distance by 40% and increasing strict part F‑score by 16%.
