Extracting a surface mesh is possible, but the result is going to be really ugly (like the high-poly meshes from generative AI that are useless to artists)! Mesh processing is a very difficult research domain in computer graphics that has been iterated for several decades, and we still don't have a good automated solution for retopology (Partly because the problem is hard to define in a mathematical way, but also sin…

With things like the latest dlss (extremely high quality run time .. reinterpretation), I wonder how precise mesh etc has to be now. 1. extract even a super approximate (meaning, like square edges, with some visual details) mesh from gen ai or a scan as a starting point, 2. move things around and define volumes for gameplay needs, 3. name things ("this is a Victorian house in a surprisingly good condition compared to…
