IMAGE-TO-3D · TWO-SOURCE BENCHMARK · 26 AUG 2026

Vehicles expose the difference.

Twenty-one downloaded, structurally validated, visually reviewed models across Meshy, Hunyuan, TRELLIS, Rodin, Wonder3D, and TripoSR. Every card points to a durable ForgeMedia model; every task retains provider lineage.

WINNER

Meshy 6 · quad 300K

Best overall balance of reference fidelity, recognizable hard-surface detail, texture quality, and cleaner topology on both subjects.

CLOSEST ALTERNATIVES

Rodin Gen-2 + Hunyuan 3D 3.1

Both produced strong cross-provider models. Rodin is much lighter; Hunyuan carries denser geometry and 4K texture output.

IMPORTANT FAILURE

Wonder3D

Both GLBs were structurally valid but visually unrecognizable. Provider success is not deliverable success.

ACCESS BOUNDARIES

What did not run.

Tripo Studio/API

No Tripo Platform key was configured. The actual Tripo-family comparison here is TripoSR on Replicate; it is not presented as a Tripo Studio P1/v3.1 run.

3D AI Studio connector

The hosted connector remained at ChatGPT sign-in, and no 3D AI Studio REST key existed in the shared credential store. Hunyuan/TRELLIS engines were run directly through authenticated Replicate access instead.

WM TRELLIS.2

Prediction 0gm1z7236srne0d07t1ap0bks4 remained in starting without hardware for more than 30 minutes. It is excluded from the completed count and preserved in the manifest.

Review boundary

QA is source-relative visual review from rendered GLBs plus structural inspection. These are AI comparison assets, not OEM engineering geometry or production-approved models.
