Nvidia’s FlexiCubes uses generative AI to create 3D meshes
We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Summit Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of «Playing the Edge.» Apply to speak here and learn more about sponsorship opportunities here .
Nvidia has launched FlexiCubes, a new way to use AI to generate 3D meshes for a wide range of 3D applications.
The FlexiCubes can integrate with physics and make it easy to create flexible objects like bagels in 3D models.
This innovative approach to mesh generation promises to transform AI pipelines and deliver high-quality meshes across a wide range of applications, Nvidia said.
From scene reconstruction to generative AI pipelines, the next generation of AI models has demonstrated remarkable success in generating realistic and detailed 3D models. These models are often created as standard triangle meshes, which offer various advantages such as compatibility with existing software packages, advanced hardware acceleration, and support for physics simulation.

However, the quality of the mesh plays a crucial role in realizing these benefits. Nvidia researchers developed FlexiCubes, a novel mesh generation approach that significantly improves mesh quality in 3D pipelines.
The key idea behind FlexiCubes is the introduction of “flexible” parameters that allow precise adjustment of the generated mesh. By updating these parameters during the optimization process, the quality of the mesh is greatly enhanced. This approach distinguishes FlexiCubes from traditional mesh-based pipelines, such as the widely used marching cubes algorithm, making it a
