What is Nova3D?

Nova3D generates 3D assets as executable construction procedures. Instead of emitting a single fused mesh, the pipeline writes Blender-native Python that compiles to a structured GLB with named, separately addressable parts, a real assembly hierarchy, joint pivots, and PBR materials.

The asset's source of truth is the program; the mesh is just its compiled output. Because anything coded is programmable, every generated object is born inspectable, addressable, editable, and animatable — properties a baked mesh cannot natively expose.

This is architecturally different from diffusion-based generators (Meshy, Tripo, Rodin), which extract a single merged mesh with no part boundaries, and from CSG/OpenSCAD systems, which guarantee solids but cap out on organic shapes, hierarchy, and materials. Nova3D uses Blender's scene graph as the native representation — a strict superset of both.

Getting started

The web client lives in app/ and connects to the hosted Nova3D service — no local backend required. See app/README.md for prerequisites, setup, features, and troubleshooting.

Repository structure

This repository is the home for Nova3D's open clients and integrations. The hosted generation backend is (currently) closed-source.

Demo

☝️ Prompt: Make a washing machine with detailed internal mechanics

Comparison

☝️ Side-by-side with TRELLIS and Hunyuan3D. Nova3D is optimized for structured asset generation, but the advantage is not limited to multipart editing — it also shows stronger single-asset fidelity: cleaner silhouette control, sharper feature delineation, and more coherent surface transitions. Explicit part structure is an added capability, not a quality tradeoff.

☝️ Part-aware comparison with NVIDIA PartPacker and Tripo. Nova3D preserves discrete components as independently addressable objects with stable boundaries, clearer instance separation, and better edit locality — assets stay actionable after generation (inspect, regenerate, restyle, articulate, export) without collapsing back into one undifferentiated mesh.

Visual fidelity — same prompt vs the mesh-native generators

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/comparison_textured.png" width="100%" alt="Textured renders: Nova3D vs Meshy, TRELLIS.2, TripoSG" /></div>

Textured, as delivered — Nova3D vs the mesh-native generators (Meshy, TRELLIS.2, TripoSG).

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/comparison_wireframe.png" width="100%" alt="Wireframe: Nova3D vs Meshy, TRELLIS.2, TripoSG" /></div>

Wireframe (mesh topology). Nova3D builds clean parts — internal structure is visible; the diffusion models output dense isosurface meshes.

Anatomy of a generation

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/anatomy_bicycle.png" width="100%" alt="One prompt to a structured, named, constraint-checked asset" /></div>

Every visually distinct component is its own named, editable mesh, grouped into named sub-assemblies — and prompt-stated counts and dimensions hold up when measured back from the result.

Built as parts, not segmented after the fact

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/segmentation_explode.gif" width="78%" alt="Four assets exploded into their parts" /></div>

*Nova3D never builds a fused mesh in the first place — every component is generated as its own named, watertight part, so any piece can be selected, retextured, replaced, or rigged on its own. The others can only approximate this afterward: PartCrafter returns a handful of unnamed chunks, and CubePart must be handed the part names, then slices a finished mesh into capped, approximate regions. *

Assembly hierarchy

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/hierarchy_robot_arm.png" width="100%" alt="Robot arm exported as a labeled assembly tree" /></div>

Parts don't just have names — they're wired into a labeled assembly tree with a joint pivot at every articulation point. This robot arm exports as a depth-7 kinematic chain: rotating any pivot moves its whole subtree. The program writes that tree itself; mesh generators export a flat list with nothing to grab or rig.

Articulation

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/articulation_drone.gif" width="55%" alt="Quadcopter drone articulating, geometry frozen" /></div>

Rigging is an additive code pass: joints are added at real pivots referencing parts the program already named — the existing geometry never moves.

UV-ready from the source

<div align="center"><img src="docs/media/uv_from_code.png" width="100%" alt="Auto-generated clean, packed UV atlas for a generated asset" /></div>

Each part gets its own UV chart, auto-packed into one clean, non-overlapping atlas grouped by sub-assembly.

Technical philosophy

1. Script-native, not mesh-native. Most AI 3D generators do image-to-3D diffusion. Nova3D is prompt-to-code / image-to-code, targeting Blender's API — which yields a logical named hierarchy, surgical edits (change the handle without regenerating the cup), and proper PBR materials instead of baked vertex colors.

2. Model-agnostic. Nova3D is a generation harness. Swap providers (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) via the settings menu; the pipeline handles validation and execution regardless of which LLM writes the code.

3. Precision + organic flow. Unlike pure CSG/OpenSCAD systems that struggle with organic shapes, Nova3D leverages Blender's full modifier suite (subdivision, sculpting, booleans) for high-fidelity models.
