Front-window bakery material. Catches the eye, delivers the goods.
Summary
This article describes TRELLIS.2 for Apple Silicon, a port of Microsoft's image-to-3D generation model from CUDA to Apple Silicon via PyTorch MPS. The software allows users to run state-of-the-art image-to-3D generation natively on Mac computers without requiring NVIDIA GPUs. It generates high-resolution 400K+ vertex meshes from single images in approximately 3.5 minutes on M4 Pro Macs, producing vertex-colored OBJ and GLB files ready for 3D applications. The article provides technical details, requirements, and usage instructions for the software.
