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 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 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.

Generating high-quality triangle meshes is essential for film, gaming, and interactive 3D applications. Mainstream methods rely on mesh serialization and autoregressive processes, which stuggles in effective inference and is sensitive to error accumulation.
