An Autopsy of AI-Generated 3D Slop (via HN)

Handcrafted 3D relies on “edge flow,” which are lines of geometry that naturally follow the contours of the object. This allows for smooth reflections and easy editing. AI models generate meshes using “isosurface extraction” or similar volume-to-mesh techniques. This results in what the industry calls triangle soup.
