Nautilus: Locality-aware Autoencoder for Scalable Mesh Generation

Understand

Triangle meshes are fundamental to 3D applications, enabling efficient modification and rasterization while maintaining compatibility with standard rendering pipelines.

• However, current automatic mesh generation methods typically rely on intermediate representations that lack the continuous surface quality inherent to meshes.
• Converting these representations into meshes produces dense, suboptimal outputs.
• Although recent autoregressive approaches demonstrate promise in directly modeling mesh vertices and faces, they are constrained by the limitation in face count, scalability, and structural fidelity.
