AssetGen: Deployable 3D Asset Generation at Interactive Speed

arXiv:2605.26137v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While 3D generation is progressing rapidly, recent work has often focused on obtaining high-resolution assets, leaving user experience and deployability as afterthoughts. We present AssetGen, a 3D generator that focuses instead on these two aspects. Given one reference image, in 30 seconds it produces a high-quality mesh with baked normals, a color texture, and a controlled polygon budget suitable for real-time rendering, including mobile use cases. The AssetGen Flash variant further reduces latency to 14 seconds for interactive and agentic cre

Why this matters
Why now

Advances in AI models and computational efficiency are enabling the acceleration of sophisticated 3D asset generation from minimal inputs.

Why it’s important

Rapid, deployable 3D asset generation significantly lowers the barrier to entry for content creation in immersive environments, gaming, and simulation, impacting various digital industries.

What changes

The speed and accessibility of creating high-quality, real-time-ready 3D models from a single image are drastically improved.
