TripoSG – High-fidelity 3D Shape Synthesis Technology Launched by VAST AI

What is TripoSG?

TripoSG is a high-fidelity 3D shape synthesis technology based on the Rectified Flow (RF) model, introduced by the VAST-AI-Research team. Leveraging a large-scale rectified flow transformer architecture, a hybrid supervised training strategy, and a high-quality dataset, it enables the generation of high-fidelity 3D mesh models from a single input image. TripoSG demonstrates outstanding performance in multiple benchmark tests, producing 3D models with greater detail and better alignment to input conditions.

The main functions of TripoSG

• 3D Content Automated Generation: TripoSG can directly generate stunningly detailed 3D mesh models from a single input image, making it ideal for automatically creating high-quality 3D content.
• High-Resolution 3D Reconstruction: TripoSG’s VAE architecture can handle higher-resolution inputs, making it suitable for high-resolution 3D reconstruction tasks.
• High-Fidelity Generation: The generated meshes feature sharp geometric features, fine surface details, and complex structures.
• Semantic Consistency: The generated shapes accurately reflect the semantics and appearance of the input images.
• Strong Generalization Ability: It can process various input styles, including photorealistic images, cartoons, and sketches.
• Robust Performance: For challenging inputs with complex topological structures, it can create coherent shapes.

The technical principle of TripoSG

• Large-Scale Corrective Flow Transformer: TripoSG introduces the first application of a Transformer architecture based on corrective flow for 3D shape generation. By training on a large amount of high-quality data, it achieves high-fidelity 3D shape generation. Compared to traditional diffusion models, the corrective flow provides a more concise linear path modeling from noise to data, facilitating more stable and efficient training.
• Hybrid Supervision Training Strategy: TripoSG incorporates a hybrid supervision training strategy that combines Sign Distance Function (SDF), normal, and Eikonal loss. This significantly enhances the reconstruction performance of the 3D Variational Autoencoder (VAE), achieving high-quality 3D reconstruction. Through this strategy, the VAE can learn geometrically more accurate and detail-rich representations.
• High-Quality Data Processing Pipeline: TripoSG has developed a comprehensive data construction and governance pipeline, including steps such as quality scoring, data filtering, repair and enhancement, and SDF data generation. Through this process, VAST has constructed a dataset comprising 2 million high-quality “image-SDF” training sample pairs for TripoSG. Ablation experiments have clearly demonstrated that models trained on this high-quality dataset significantly outperform those trained on larger-scale, unfiltered raw datasets.
• Efficient VAE Architecture: TripoSG adopts an efficient VAE architecture that uses SDF for geometric representation, offering higher precision compared to the voxel occupancy grids commonly used previously. The Transformer-based VAE architecture demonstrates strong generalization in resolution, capable of handling higher-resolution inputs without the need for retraining.
• MoE Transformer Model: TripoSG is the first MoE Transformer model released in the 3D domain. By integrating MoE layers into the Transformer, it significantly increases the model’s parameter capacity with almost no additional inference computational cost.
