Testing Hyper3D Rodin Gen-2.5 low-poly mode.

1 image. Around 120s for this one’s retopology, sometimes a bit longer with Smart Low-Poly on.

One of the biggest problems in AI 3D generation is that a model can create a shape that looks good at first glance, but still be hard to use in a real production workflow.

For many artists and teams, the issue is not just geometry quality. It is topology, UVs, and downstream usability.

That is exactly why we have been working on SATO: Strips as Tokens, our new research on topology and UV generation, conditionally accepted to SIGGRAPH 2026.

The goal is simple: make generated 3D assets more usable, not just more visually impressive.

With SATO, we are exploring a different way to represent and generate meshes so the model can better preserve structure while also generating native UV segmentation. The same representation can also decode into triangle or quad meshes, which matters for different 3D workflows.

This is important to us because we think the future of 3D GenAI is not just about faster concepting. It is about getting closer to assets that fit real pipelines in games, XR, design, and content production.

We do not see this as “problem solved.”
We see it as one step toward more production-friendly 3D generation.

This capability will be available in Hyper3D Rodin soon.

Curious what matters most to you when it comes to AI-generated topology and UVs:

• cleaner edge flow
• better UV quality
• more editable meshes
• better downstream compatibility

Happy to share more if people are interested.

Seedance 2.0 is now live on Hyper3D. Feel free to try it here.

We’re also making it free with unlimited usage for Business subscribers.

Would love to see what kinds of workflows people use it for.
