Next-generation AI pipelines have shown incredible success in generating high-fidelity 3D models, ranging from reconstructions that produce a scene matching given images to generative AI pipelines that produce assets for interactive experiences.

These generated 3D models are often extracted as standard triangle meshes. Mesh representations offer many benefits, including support in existing software packages, advanced hardware acceleration, and supporting physics simulation. However, not all meshes are equal, and these benefits are only realized on a high-quality mesh.

Recent NVIDIA research discovered a new approach called FlexiCubes for generating high-quality meshes in 3D pipelines, improving quality across a range of applications. — Read More
