Meshy-7

Meshy's multi-image model: the views in as a list with the front first, a mesh with a full PBR set out.

What we saw

  • Takes the views as a list with the front view first; the others carry no view labels.
  • Every file came with base colour, normal and roughness-metal maps.
  • Kept the parts where the blocks put them on all three block-outs, including both textured arms of the T-posed character.

Results

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

T-posed character

Full PBR set

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.

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.
