SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tripo AI unveiled Tripo P2.0, its latest 3D-native foundation model enabling high-fidelity 3D assets generation with quad topology, marking a major breakthrough in generative 3D.

As an upgrade from Tripo Smart Mesh P1.0, P2.0 brings native quad mesh generation, a first for the AI 3D industry, representing a major advance in AI-powered 3D content creation. The model allows 3D creators to move AI-generated 3D content seamlessly into production, addressing one of the longstanding challenges in AI 3D generation.

Following the release of P2.0 Preview in August, the official launch of P2.0 added two new features: multiple versions generation per prompt and Mesh Edit. The model makes it easier than ever for creators to edit, rig, animate and integrate AI generated characters and props into production pipelines.

“Topology has been the wall between AI-generated 3D and real production: game and film pipelines are built on quad meshes, and until now AI got there only through slow, unstable retopology. P2.0 can quickly generate quad-dominant meshes natively, with clean part separation and the edge flow an artist would lay out manually. Production-ready is today’s bar; the longer-term goal for Tripo is to build models that understand, generate and interact with 3D environments,” says Dr. Yanpei Cao, Chief Scientist of Tripo AI.

The model supports both triangle- and quad-based 3D assets generation, offering up to 50,000 faces for triangle topology and up to 25,000 faces for quad topology. With one single prompt, P2.0 allows generation of a maximum of four versions of the same asset with different face counts, giving creators greater flexibility to produce assets with varying levels of complexity and details.

The newly added Mesh Edit feature gives creators direct control over the result. They can select and regenerate any region of a mesh without altering the rest of the asset. Instead of regenerating the whole asset and hoping for a better outcome, creators can refine the asset more precisely, step by step.

The model offers front, back, left and right views of the generated assets, allowing them to closely match users’ intentions.

P2.0 also supports Smart UV which enables creators to unwrap 3D assets into a 2D layout with a single click, making it easier for texturing and further editing.

Designed for games and interactive experiences, Smart Mesh P2.0 helps 3D artists, technical artists and game developers create assets ready for production. It is particularly well suited to generating game characters, hard surface objects such as vehicles, props and buildings, as well as creating 3D assets at scale.

BEIJING, Sept. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — For millennia, as her believers believe, the traditional Chinese sea goddess Mazu has been blessing safe voyages. Now, Chinese meteorological early-warning solutions named after her are helping more countries prevent meteorological disasters.

“MAZU”, released by the China Meteorological Administration at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), is a set of China’s homegrown AI-enabled meteorological solutions featuring universal multi-hazard early warning, alerting and zero-gap coverage.

Supporting cloud-based trials in more than 40 countries, “MAZU” has been applied in countries including Pakistan, Ethiopia, the Solomon Islands, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Djibouti, rapidly expanding its global presence.

As the first set of solutions under the UN Early Warnings for All initiative, “MAZU” integrates AI-based meteorological early-warning models, Fengyun meteorological satellite data, multi-source monitoring products and cloud computing power.

In May this year, “MAZU” was recommended by the World Meteorological Organization at the 11th Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals held at UN headquarters in New York.

Unsurprisingly, “MAZU” caters to the demand for both menu-style solution offerings and highly flexible customized solutions to help relevant countries prevent meteorological disasters caused by climate change.

In Pakistan, where monsoons and rainstorms usually cause torrential floods, an early-warning system co-developed by China and Pakistan was formally embedded in relevant platforms of Pakistan’s meteorological authority.

In Ethiopia, Chinese experts leveraged the integration of data from China’s Fengyun meteorological satellites and local meteorological stations to help local weather forecasters generate high-precision nowcasts via the Fenglei and Fengqing AI models.

In Sri Lanka, the meteorological bureau of southeast China’s Fujian Province is assisting the country in achieving high spatiotemporal resolution precipitation and temperature forecasting.

Apart from the application cases of “MAZU”, nearly 1,000 people from more than 100 developing countries and regions have come to China to receive technology training focused on early warning.

As China is a crucial partner of the Early Warnings for All initiative, its platforms, satellites and AI models have helped dozens of countries enhance their early-warning capacities, noted UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the 2026 WAIC.

Such a mode of cooperation, involving technology transfer, joint R&D and local capacity building to help developing countries better protect their people, is exactly what the world needs now, added Guterres.

BEIJING, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A global call for “My City, My Home” visual submission campaign for the upcoming World Cities Day has officially kicked off in Fuzhou, southeast China’s Fujian Province, inviting people around the world to submit photos and short videos to share stories of urban development.

World Cities Day, celebrated annually on October 31 since 2014, is the first UN-designated international day dedicated to cities. Fuzhou will host the Global Observance of World Cities Day 2026.

As part of the Observance, the “My City, My Home” campaign aims to enhance the global influence of World Cities Day, encourage greater public participation, and promote the concept of sustainable urban development through a campaign open to everyone.

According to the announcement for the campaign, individuals, families, communities, schools, social organizations and other groups are all welcome to participate. The submissions should closely reflect the annual theme of this year’s World Cities Day — Regenerating the City: Adequate Housing for All.

Participants should form a square frame with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to frame scenes that showcase the livability and renewal of their cities, and then take photos or short videos. This signature gesture symbolizes houses that shelter people, evokes the outline of early walled cities, and represents a perspective through which to capture the beauty of cities.

Participants are encouraged to start their videos with opening lines such as “This is my city”. They are also encouraged to include in their photos and videos an introduction to the city and the filming location, the reasons why the selected scene reflects urban regeneration or livability, and personal stories related to the city.

The submission period runs from the date of publication until 11:59 p.m. on October 14 (Beijing Time). Photos and videos may be submitted via Douyin or to the designated email address Mycitymyhome@outlook.com .

Photos and videos may be submitted in either 9:16 vertical or 16:9 horizontal format. Each video should be at least 5 seconds long.

Outstanding submissions will be selected for inclusion in the official campaign video, which will be presented at the opening ceremony of the Global Observance of World Cities Day 2026 in Fuzhou on October 31.
