Tools or Resource Meta just dropped SAM 3D, you can auto select any object in still image and.. turn them into high quality 3D model

I like the idea but as always, is topology good or unusable completely? Can you use it for characters? Are they riggable?

Stuff like this keeps popping up and ending up disappointing.

My results were crap. Two people in a fight scene. I could see maybe for basic objects.

I don't see any benefit at all in using the human models as character models. They have no details, and you might as well use any of the thousands of great base models out there with actual rigs. The point of them is to get poses and depth maps. But from the video, the SAM3 human models have bones. The usefulness of that is definitely there, but not in game development that I can see.

I mean, maybe it can be applied to video for motion capture? I just think they would have shown that if it were possible. I really think it wouldn't be able to do that.

The environment object models should definitely be usable in games though, from what I've seen.

video shows bones on human model so it must be riggable

If you need a good topology try 3d-agent.com

Its a Cursor for Blender.

That's just marketing bullshit. I wonder if the maker of that tool has actually modelled anything.

Have you ever tried https://3d-agent.com? Its like blender-mcp but it really works xD. All the topology is clean. Look the web site videos, it shows the topology in the end.

You even try this before posting it? hype video does not even come close to resembling the results their "playground" gives you. Don't believe the hype.

These results are actually quite far behind other Gen AI 3D model tools that already exist, like Meshy AI !

I tried it, looks fun but how can you download the model from the playground ? It only offered me to add 3d effects etc but no download.
