Stefan and Philip break down this week in 3D AI. Tripo P2.0 Smart UV unwraps automatically with clean seams, taking on UV, the last stage 3D AI could not touch. Meshy 7.1 Ultra 4K ships geometry at 4096 cubed with up to 80 million triangles, where stitches and engravings are real mesh rather than painted texture. GPT-6 Astra drives Blender and Unreal on its own, modeling, rigging, animating, and building a walkable scene. The episode also covers Hunyuan Miora, the new Hitem3D Agent, and four papers including one that removes UVs entirely.
