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.
