I tried to split some tasks up. After Tripo generated the quad mesh, I did a manual unwrap in Blender to give important parts bigger UV space. That definitely helped with the perceived texture sharpness. Auto-textured the mesh with Trellis2 in ComfyUI. Interesting to see all steps involved. For... show more

From generated reference images to riding a robot raptor in Fortnite 🦖 For now mostly the same workflow, but I also used Nano Banana to get that toe claw in the image lol. Other steps: Images from Grok Imagine, Tripo for raw 3D generation, Hunyuan 3D Studio for lowpoly and UV unwrap, Trellis2 in ComfyUI for texturing and AI upscaling. Blender for cleanup, rigging and weight painting. Splitting up the body parts helped to get a more mid-poly result. Also with better control during cleanup. The final result has 28K triangles. Again with the awesome retargeting tools in Unreal Engine / UEFN. I’ll be testing different AI texturing approaches soon. Some parts can get a bit wobbly at times, most notable in hard-surface objects. Also curious if there are any upcoming weight painting tools 😄

- AssetHub officially launched - Using Metahuman Component as parts system in UEFN This is crazy! Just discovered I can use the Metahuman Component in UEFN as a general parts system! Perfect for modular characters. So I had to test it out. First step: character design. With GPT Image 2 I got some really solid characters to work with. These are perfect to test anime/ lowpoly models as well. Gavin Harvey also officially launched so I jumped on a fresh workflow to build the first one. Since I’m aiming for an anime/flat shaded style, I chose Tripo P1 to generate straight to low poly models. Results were perfect for me, UV and textured directly done. Did the main assembly in Blender. I transferred weights onto the new parts (like the jacket here) and used proportional editing to tweak vertices so everything fits together nicely. Then into UEFN / Unreal Engine: For the two-tone shadow look, I made a material that uses the sun direction as a mask. To make all the modular parts work together, I set up a blueprint with the body skeletal mesh as the base, and all the other parts attached as children. Now the really cool part: the Metahuman Component actually lets you plug in extra body parts directly. And every skeletal mesh can have its own Control Rig slot. That means you can layer procedural animations on top of your main animation setup. I used it for procedural eye blinking and hair physics. Since every part is separate, swapping variations is super easy while keeping all animations perfectly synced!

Hard surface model test: 3D model of an unfinished overland build. Got really nice images again from Grok. Also realised an ‘unfinished’ vehicle might not be the best idea lol. Anyways, I was well surprised with the results. I don’t trust rotating a generated wheel yet 😁, so I made the wheels in Blender. Very similar workflow as the mech character: Images from Grok Imagine, Tripo for raw 3D generation, Hunyuan 3D Studio for lowpoly and UV unwrap, Trellis2 in ComfyUI for texturing + upscaling. Blender final preparation. Unreal Engine / UEFN shaders. Next time i'd work a bit longer on the normals.

New clean 3D AI workflow Control Rig physics in UEFN! Been exploring some more hybrid AI workflows lately, and for 3D assets splitting the model into parts is kinda essential. This video shows my first test using AssetHub, one of the cleanest ways i've used to keep the whole generation process organized. It auto-detected the pose in my main image and broke it down into parts, then generated images for each. From there I can just iterate on each piece separately and generate the 3D models in one workflow. AssetHub is still in closed beta atm, so let me know if you want to try it out. Main reference image came from Grok Imagine. All the part images and high poly meshes were done in AssetHub, selected Tripo 3.1 as the main model. After that I ran it through Hunyuan 3D for retopo + unwrap. Final assembly in Blender. Baked normals from high to low poly. End result: under 60K tris, 3 materials, 2K textures. Also Control Rig physics in Unreal Engine are insane. It finally validates in UEFN too, so of course I had to test it out.

The battle of the Text/Image to 3D Model 👍- To make this fair, I tested the same image across all platforms and used the first generated result. No cherry picking allowed! I also tested what I think are the 4 top services to use right now. Let me know what you think is the best 3D mesh generation from these platforms however I think it's quite obvious that Tencent Hy 2.5 is currently the king 👑 It wins in overall detail and sharpness, accuracy in relation to the input image, as well as texture generation and projection. Tripo 2.5 comes in second and Rodin 3rd with Trellis in 4th place. However, Rodin has the best topology since it can generate a mesh in quads BUT I left all of them in triangles to keep it fair. Hi3DGen can't be counted as it can't even generate textures and it has no multi-image support. Meshy was another option but the results were not great. Is there any other AI 3D Gen services that you know of that you want me to test as well?

What about a 2 day version? After Andrew Price posted about the two extremes (fully manual vs fully AI car modeling), I wanted to try a hybrid approach. Not sure if his examples were more film or game-focused, but I’m aiming for a game-ready asset. Using AssetHub for the main workflow hub. Because of the canvas and part splitting tools , iterating is smooth here. Generating high poly meshes with Tripo inside AssetHub. Retopoly with Hunyuan 3D Studio. Texturing with Trellis2 in ComfyUI. Did some manual modeling for the rims since i still dont trust AI generated rims being 100% circular😄 Assembly in Blender. End result: car exterior + interior 36K tris. Wheels total still 32K hehe. I’d bake those tire detail normals onto a simple cylinder next. In UEFN / Unreal Engine i used a clear coat material to give the car some nice reflections. Is it perfect? No. retopo and texturing are still the weak spots, but that gap is closing. Would I use this in a game? 100%! (after improving the tires). If you want to try AssetHub, you can sign up and use JR1627 to skip the waitlist.

Let's build the next character for the team! I’m continuing to test the modular character setup in UEFN using the Metahuman Component. Works really well with custom NPCs! For this new character, I'm back to a fresh 3D workflow using AssetHub . Still aiming for that flat/ anime style so I can go straight to the Tripo P1 model and get the low poly textured meshes to work with. Assembling and rigging are done in Blender. Again making a shape key for the eyes blinking. Because I'm going to use the same bone structure, I can re-use some Control Rig systems like the hair and eyes procedural animations. The character has 35K triangles and each accessory is about 2.5K.

In this experiment I wanted to try something with facial expressions and have it work with native Unreal Engine tools. I did find that generating the head with an open mouth helped to get some extra details. Creating those blend shapes was still not easy and this result is far from perfect. Ideally i want 58 generated expression references and have AI figure that out haha. btw first time baking the high poly details onto the low poly generated character. That worked surprisingly well! Endresult has 34k triangles! Built this character in 4 separate parts in Blender and generated each part in Hunyuan 3D Studio. The original references came from Nano Banana 2 and Grok. Trellis 2 in ComfyUI for the texturing. The animation was done with Control Rig in UEFN / Unreal Engine. With all the experiments so far, file and version management start to become a challenge. Getting files from different platforms with each platform having their own filename logic. I’ll have to find something to keep it more organized. Any suggestions?

Over the weekend, I added multiplayer "paint ball" dogfight to Tiny Skies, so players can fly around pelting each other with colourful paint balls, just for fun. I tried meshy and tripo to generate some 3D models for the game and the mesh vertices count are really high and lags the game a lot (probably because my game is a globe with thousands of objects - albeit mostly instanced). To my surprise, I found Gemini 3.1 Pro to be really quite good at generating good looking 3D models that are low in poly count. It generated 3D models at a much higher quality than Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6 and GPT 5.4. You can see the upgraded biplane models and some objects in the video below. #vibejam

Tested this concepting workflow. ▶️ Converting a level design image to a 3D asset gallery image ▶️ re-generating segmented subjects into separate high quality images. ▶️ using these images to generate the 3D meshes. First time using 'for loops' in ComfyUI, works great and the prompts are updated for every segment. I used the Nano Banana 2 API node in ComfyUI to generate the final high quality images. Those SAM3 nodes are crazy btw, just set some points and it creates a mask! For the 3D model generation I used the new Tripo Smart Mesh tool, which is fast! The output is not perfect yet. I think in a lot of cases not production ready right now but that depends on the input image and the goal as well. For pre-production / concepting phase it's perfect and for far distance meshes it’s fine. I’m sure these tools keep improving, curious what we can work with in 3-6 months. Minimal cleanup and scaling in Blender and tested the meshes in UEFN / Unreal Engine. After creating the ComfyUI workflow it took less than an hour to do everything.

Not bad! 2K triangles and a bit of manual cleanup. This was a quick test creating a lowpoly 3D model. Tried Tripo for retopology and it did a good job. It does render some inverted normals though. For this lowpoly model it’s fine but inverted normals are a pain when working on highpoly models. I’m going to test some other options like the remesh tool in Blender sculpting. It’s crazy how this Trellis Texturing node works btw, It understands the geometry very well. Watch the end where I made the worst version of an Axe in Blender and it was able to wrap the texture on that model! I would probably spend a bit more time splitting the image up and generating the main parts separately. Also making any signs readable or just remove them.

Spawning 1000 characters 🚶🚶🚶 Well not really, they are actually 1000 props with vertex animations. I was curious how it would work. I used an Unreal Engine plugin Vertex Animation Toolkit and adjusted it to output 2K textures. You can load in multiple animations and bake into 1 Vertex Animation Texture array. In this case 2 idle and 2 walk animations. Using Verse to play random animations and walk to random locations. FPS drops a bit at 1000 props, i could play with distance culling. Nanite needs to be turned off, somehow it breaks the mesh on close up. Can’t wait for 1000 player servers lol #UEFN #FortniteCreative

GM! Did you know the gold leaf I use in my artwork is hand beaten (hammered) from (12ct/23ct/pure) gold blocks to 0.12 microns thick (about 4millionths of an inch). It’s so delicate I can’t touch it with my hand, I have to use a mesh to pick it up 🤓 lil nerd moment for you ☺️

Currently testing Hunyuan brand new 2.5 model for image to 3D. YUP! It's MAJOR improvement over 2.0, especially with making details look sharper, it can also reconstruct more detail. It also generates PBR materials now and you can automatically rig the character on the website. It's much better than Trellis and Tripo from my testing! Took it into Blender as well to compare Hunyuan 2.5 (on the left) and Hunyuan 2.0 (on the right). I wanted to see the mesh with a solid and material preview. If you're doing 3D printing, these would probably work very well. However...the biggest issue here is still topology which is a complete and utter mess, there's also still issues with texture projection...and the entire model is a single mesh, there needs to be a method to generate the model in parts BUT this tech is certainly improving. As someone that is also a 3D artist, I actually want to see what this tech is capable of generating to output 3D models.

✨ I made a little demo of #vibejam sponsor Tripo and how you can use it to generate assets for your games In this case I'm generating an apartment flat that's half destroyed and open for my drone sim to fly around, take cover and shoot at enemies from First I write the prompt and select Nano Banana to generate an image first, I get a few different ones, and I select the one I like Then that one is converted into a 3d object called a Smart Mesh Smart Mesh is different than regular image-to-3d models because usually you get issues with uneven polygon distribution, too dense geometry and poor edge flow, so while you think you save time with generating it with AI you end up doing lots of editing after to fix the topology which kinda defeats the point Smart Mesh doesn't have any of this, it's fast and clean low-poly models you can drop into your game Anyway, after generating the model I can then see it in 3d, and if I don't like it, regenerate it, or if I like it start texturing it Once that's done, I export it as a GLB, FBX or OBJ and drop it in (usually I use GLB as ThreeJS seems to prefer that), in my case I just drop the URL into Cursor and let it figure out the placement of the asset into my game!

The Fondant Custom Normals Blender addon is being tested, and we're aiming for a 1.0 release next week! The first feature is the Weighted Normals + Laplacian Smoothing Geometry Nodes modifier. This let's you calculate Normals that are as clean as a nice quad mesh even if your topology is a mess and triangulated! We'll be following up with more tools to support creating high quality Normals for 3D anime and vtuber characters. We have an optimized adjustable Face Normal Transfer proxy mesh nearly ready to go. Check out the Docs to see more about the Addon's features and workflow (link in the reply.)

MeshSplatting: Differentiable Rendering with Opaque Meshes Contributions: (i) An end-to-end optimization of mesh-based scene representations retains visual quality while training 2× faster than current state-of-the-art methods. (ii) Rather than a polygon soup, we generate a connected mesh by refining the vertex locations of a restricted Delaunay triangulation. (iii) Triangles are naturally connected to each other, and quantities stored within vertices are smoothly interpolated across each triangle. (iv) The optimization is aware that the triangles should be opaque, allowing direct high-quality rendering in standard game engines (see Fig. 1), opening the door for classical techniques like the use of depth buffers and occlusion culling [1, 22].

Space waltz. The training prepared me for most of my tasks during the #Muninn mission on the International Space Station. But one thing that is difficult to train for is the feeling of microgravity, or how much I have to push myself to get my body translating into the velocity I want, or how I turn into a corner in a good way, or how I reposition myself. That is difficult to train, so I had to practice a bit up there. 😉 #lifeinorbit
