TencentARC's image-to-3D model (SIGGRAPH 2026) that back-projects pixel features directly into 3D space for near-reconstruction-level fidelity with PBR textures. Pixel-aligned approach preserves fine surface detail that traditional latent-diffusion-based 3D AI tends to lose. Fully open source under MIT license with ComfyUI support — you can run it locally or via the published model weights. A different lineage from Tencent's Hunyuan3D, despite the shared parent organisation.

As good as Tripo AI but it lacks multi image generation, but it has better technology of recognition of what could possibly be behind that image if its from the front
