Hunyuan3D 3

Tencent's hosted successor: all four views in, a dense mesh with one 4K colour texture out, PBR maps optional.

What we saw

  • Takes all four views; the white arm Hunyuan3D 2 left on our character is gone.
  • Dense by default, with one 4K base-colour texture and no normal or roughness maps unless you pay for its PBR option.
  • Has a low-poly mode that can return quads.

Results

Left to right: the block-out it was given, the result from the front and the back, and the shape without its textures.

839 blocks, cartoon style: a young man in a blue T-shirt, dark grey trousers and black boots. The T-pose shows whether an engine textures both arms.

4,518 blocks, realistic style: a stone gatehouse with two towers, battlements, a portcullis, banners and a drawbridge on chains. The test for a large building with thin parts and repeated detail.

How we test

  1. 1Same pictures. Within a test, an image model repaints the block views once (the way Vox Land always works), and that one set of views goes to every engine, at its default settings; the table lists any that differ. Engines that take a single picture get one three-quarter view, painted from the same blocks in the same style.
  2. 2So every difference inside a test comes from the engine, not from the input. The blocks fix the shape and the proportions; the repainted views add the colours and small details every engine then shares.
  3. 3Numbers are read from the file each engine delivered: triangles, file size, texture maps. Job time is the engine's job in our pipeline (the views were painted beforehand), from a single run.
  4. 4Outline match: we draw the block-out and the model as flat silhouettes from the front, the side and above, and measure how much they overlap (intersection over union; 100% means identical outlines).
  5. 5The renders are ours: the same camera, light and orientation for every file.
  6. 6We make none of these engines. Vox Land sends your blocks to whichever one you pick, so we have no reason to favour one.
