Trellis 2 API Features
4B-parameter Architecture
Trellis 2 API delivers exceptional quality, resolution and efficiency, producing 1536³ PBR textured assets, built on native 3D VAEs with 16× spatial compression
Arbitrary Topology Handling
Trellis API excels in handling complex structures, including open surfaces, non-manifold geometry, and enclosed interior structures, breaking the constraints of iso-surface fields.
Asynchronous API Calls
The Trellis API supports asynchronous task submission - enabling developers to generate 3D assets in the background and get results instantly via callbacks.
Minimalist 3D Asset Pre-and Post-processing
Trellis 2 is designed to be minimal, enabling instant conversions that are fully rendering-free and optimization-free. With <10s on single CPU and <100ms with CUDA acceleration.
SOTA Performance
Trellis.2 outperforms SOTA models in qualitative and quantitative comparisons, achieving superior generation quality and the highest alignment score across all metrics.
Native Structured Latents
Trellis 2 features native structured latents, converting meshes into O-Voxel representations and compressing them via SC-VAE for instant, scalable, high-fidelity 3D generation.
