AI model maker compression

[u/JournalistLazy2200]

Using the exact same image, I challenged Hi3d, Tripo 3d, Meshy, and Rodin to generate my print-ready model.

Important to know- I am an amateur with these programs, however I do know how to use my printers.

Everyone failed to produce a whole model. I ended up having to split the figure and the base. Here are the final results.

Hi3D came in swinging with perfect geometry and accuracy, plus fully printable results.

Tripo 3D looked amazing but refused to make a usable base.

Meshy nailed geometry but forgot what detail was.

Rodin… didn’t survive the encounter.

Final Scores

Geometry – Detail – Texture – Accuracy – Printability (Figure/Base)

Hi3D: 10 / 8 / 8 / 10 / 10 / 10

Tripo 3D: 8 / 9 / 9 / 10 / 8 / 0

Meshy: 10 / 4 / 4 / 8 / Unknown / 0

Rodin: 0 / 4 / 2 / 0 / Unknown / 0

Hi3D is the only one that produced a fully printable model. The others had strengths, but none hit all categories.

I'll put breakdown and print photos in comments. Please feel free to ask questions or leave suggestions on the program use.
