TreeMeshGPT: Artistic Mesh Generation with Autoregressive Tree Sequencing

Stefan Lionar · Jiabin Liang · Gim Hee Lee


Abstract:

We introduce TreeMeshGPT, an autoregressive Transformer designed to generate high-quality artistic meshes aligned with input point clouds. Instead of the conventional next-token prediction in autoregressive Transformer, we propose a novel Autoregressive Tree Sequencing where the next input token is retrieved from a dynamically growing tree structure that is built upon the triangle adjacency of faces within the mesh. Our sequencing enables the mesh to extend locally from the last generated triangular face at each step, and therefore reduces training difficulty and improves mesh quality. Our approach represents each triangular face with two tokens, achieving a compression rate of approximately 22% compared to the naive face tokenization. Due to this efficient tokenization technique, we push the boundary of artistic mesh generation to the face limit of 5,500 triangles with a strong point cloud condition of 2,048 tokens, surpassing previous methods. Furthermore, our method generates mesh with strong normal orientation constraints, minimizing flipped normals commonly encountered in previous methods. Our experiments show that TreeMeshGPT enhances the mesh generation quality with refined details and normal orientation consistency.
