Hi3D open-sources Hi3D v1.0 (formerly Sparc3D), an image-conditioned 3D geometry refinement model, with weights and inference code

In one minute

Hi3D has open-sourced Hi3D v1.0, the production release of its former Sparc3D image-conditioned 3D geometry refinement model.

What changed: Same event as Hi3D 1.0 (formerly Sparc3D) image-conditioned 3D mesh refinement model released open source

The release includes inference code in the hi3d-official/Hi3Dv1.0 repository and downloadable weights on Hugging Face.

The model takes a coarse mesh plus a reference image of the same object and refines the geometry. Hi3D says it progressively samples sparse latents, uses a self-pruning sparse VAE, and extracts meshes at sparse grid resolutions up to 1536 cubed across three passes. Its training data reportedly grew from roughly 500,000 to roughly 2 million curated 3D assets. The Python package retains the sparc3d and Sparc3DPipeline names.

The weights use a custom Hi3D Open License Agreement 1.0, rather than an OSI-approved licence. Training code and the evaluation harness are not included. The announcement also claims that Hi3D's commercial V3.0 reaches 2048 cubed voxels and that its hosted service reduced credit use by more than 50 percent; the source does not provide independent validation of those claims or benchmark results for v1.0.
