Nice work. Although this model is not very good, I tried a lot of different image-to-3d models, the one from meshy.ai is the best, trellis is in the useless tier, really hope there could be some good open source models in this domain.
Hey, thanks for sharing this. I'm sure TRELLIS.2 definitely has room to improve, especially on texturing.
From what I've seen personally, and community benchmarks, it does fair on geometry and visual fidelity among open-source options, but I agree it's not perfect for every use case.
Meshy is solid, I used it to print my girlfriend a mini 3d model of her on her birthday last year!
Though worth noting it's a paid service, and free tier has usage limitations while TRELLIS.2 is MIT licensed with unlimited local generation. Different tradeoffs for different workflows. Hopefully the open-source side keeps improving.
Meshy is indeed great but I am terminally put off by their alltogether terrible, sleazy, gamified, opaque web UI. It's like aliexpress and a lootbox game had a baby that's into mesh generation. Ugh.
But if you are a mega corp, spending 0.1% of your CapEx on SaaS subscriptions, do you really want to switch to products made by some no name one person startup? You might save 0.05% of your CapEx, but if something didn’t workout, your whole business will be screwed.
To your point, I think there are 3 main categories:
1. Too big to fail (SalesForce, ServiceNow, ServiceTitan, Shopify). They’re targeting megacorps’ core business operations. Switching costs are too high. They will survive,
2. B2B non-core (PagerDuty, Vanta, Monday, Atlassian). They’re going to have stiff competition and most here will fail or merge/consolidate. They have the most to lose because they’re non-core to a business’s success and pricing pressures will cause many of them will be easily vibecoded with enough time. The large TAM here will attract hundreds of competitors each.
3. Consumer SaaS (Notion, Canva, Grammarly, Dribbble). They're good as dead and can be buried.
A small group of people are going to acquire immerse wealth and power from this new technology
80% of everyone else will be facing possibility of losing jobs or reduced income, if they still have job
This will be another rust belt decades, but for white collar jobs and costal states
