Meshy releases Meshy 7, a new foundation model that sets a new bar for image-3D alignment

Published

3 months ago

on

Meshy 7 is built around a single standard: the 3D result should agree with the image the user brought. Meshy is also publishing how it measures that agreement — geometry scored directly against reference models held out of training, not by human preference or a vision-language judge.

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meshy has released Meshy 7, its new image-to-3D foundation model, together with the method behind a new 3D geometry alignment benchmark and its first results.

WHY ALIGNMENT MATTERS NOW

The first problem with image-to-3D was whether a model could produce a usable asset at all. Broken surfaces, scrambled structure and missing limbs are now rare enough among leading models that not breaking differentiates very little.

So the question that matters has changed. An asset can look entirely reasonable and still fail to reproduce the reference: a body slightly too wide, a hand shifted out of place, an engraved line from the source image simply gone. Nothing is obviously wrong, and it is not what the user designed. That is alignment, and it separates a good 3D model from one that merely does not break.

INDUSTRY-LEADING ALIGNMENT

Given a single input image, Meshy 7 leads every model tested on all three aspects of alignment: 81.0% on overall proportion, 79.7% on spatial distribution, 59.8% on surface details — measured against four competing 3D foundation models on reference 3D models excluded from training, where 100% is the reference measured against itself. The pattern holds under the front view, the strictest condition, where Meshy 7 leads on aggregate and on each metric individually.

The lead is widest where the problem is hardest. Overall proportion is close across leading models now. Surface details is not — under single-view input no model tested reaches 60% — and this is where Meshy 7 pulls furthest ahead: 5.3 points clear of the closest competitor, more than twice its margin on either of the other two aspects. That is the shape of a real lead: not a fraction of a point where the field is already bunched together, but daylight on the dimension nobody has solved.

With four views the field converges: every model improves, and extra views help most on spatial distribution and surface details, the dimensions most affected by hidden geometry. The leaders end up within roughly two points of one another, and Meshy 7’s single-view lead is large enough that the closest competitor catches up rather than clearly overtakes it. Single-view input is where systems separate — and it is the condition most users are in.

Compared with Meshy 6, Meshy 7 improves alignment clearly on both geometry and texture. The benchmark above covers geometry; texture is measured separately.
 

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE SHOWS

Faces. A small geometric change is enough to alter an expression, which makes faces one of the hardest alignment tests. Across a set of portrait busts, Meshy 7 does not settle for a generic face: cheeks lift and laugh lines deepen on a smile, the brow tightens and the mouth turns down on a stern look, the face relaxes on closed eyes — while headscarf, knot and clothing stay stable.Part relationships. A mechanical object only reads as mechanical when every component sits where it belongs. On a clockwork owl of layered wing armour, exposed gears and thin legs, Meshy 7 keeps the parts distinct and placed as the concept places them, rather than collapsing the design into a bird-shaped mass.Dense surface relief. A jade medallion is almost entirely shallow relief — a dragon coiling the outer ring, dense cloud pattern, a raised centre motif, all on a nearly flat disc. Meshy 7 keeps the pattern continuous rather than fragmented, at the depth the image gives it.

Three changes got it there. The image encoder now reads the input at multiple scales and accepts higher resolution, so fine shape information survives into generation instead of being averaged out. The training data was rebuilt to a stricter standard, every sample corresponding exactly to its target geometry with style, lighting and background removed. And geometry alignment became a tracked signal inside every training cycle rather than an evaluation applied at the end — the capability users care about and the number the team optimises against are now the same number.

HOW ALIGNMENT IS MEASURED

The benchmark uses neither human preference nor a vision-language judge; it compares 3D geometry directly.

Reference 3D models held out of training are rendered into input images using known cameras. Each generative model produces a 3D result from those images, which is compared against the original reference geometry — so every test image has a known 3D correct answer. Comparing renders instead would mean estimating the source camera first, mixing camera error into the geometry error being measured.

Before scoring, each generation is aligned to its reference by translation, rotation and uniform scaling only — never stretched along a single axis, so a model’s own proportion errors cannot be corrected away. Agreement is then measured at three levels, from overall structure down to fine geometric difference. The reference set spans characters, vehicles, sculptures and thin-structure props, tested under three input conditions: front view, raised top-quarter view, and four views combined.

AVAILABILITY AND WHAT COMES NEXT

Meshy 7 went live on 10 August, open to all Meshy subscription tiers; downloading generated models requires the Pro tier or above. Ultra Mode currently supports single-view generation, with multi-view support arriving shortly. The benchmark described here will be released separately after launch. Geometry is only part of image-to-3D alignment — colour, material and pattern have their own — and a dedicated texture alignment benchmark will follow.

Report on Southeast Asian Youth Perceptions of Maritime Issues released

BEIJING, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A side event of the 7th Symposium on Global Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance was held at China Media Group (CMG) Sanya Studio on November 8. More than 10 Chinese and international participants discussed how to put into practice the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement), and how to communicate ideas about ocean conservation to audiences worldwide.

Experts at the event described the BBNJ Agreement, which entered into force in January this year, as a landmark victory for multilateralism in global ocean governance. They said it charts a course for all parties to work together to protect marine biodiversity.

Jiao Nianzhi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, described marine biodiversity as a toolbox for humanity, saying that protecting it means safeguarding humanity’s future. Aileen Tan, chairperson of the Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, said the BBNJ Agreement gives the ocean “breathing space” and stressed the need for scientists from different countries to work together on ocean conservation. She cited Malaysia-China cooperation in marine scientific research as a good example and expressed hope that China would play a greater leadership role. Ronán Long, director of the WMU-Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute at the World Maritime University in Sweden, said China’s strong data capabilities could help accelerate the implementation of the Agreement’s provisions on sharing non-monetary benefits arising from marine genetic resources.

Participants also highlighted China’s efforts and achievements in promoting maritime cooperation and advancing marine ecological restoration, among other areas. The side event was jointly hosted by CMG’s Chinese Language Programming Center, the Huayang Center for Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance, the National Institute for South China Sea Studies and other organizations.

During the symposium, CMG’s Chinese Language Programming Center and CMG Institute jointly released the Report on Southeast Asian Youth Perceptions of Maritime Issues. The report presents the concerns and expectations of young people in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, regarding ocean-related issues.

The report finds that Southeast Asian youth have a positive outlook on maritime cooperation with China. Nearly 80 percent of respondents are willing to take part in China-ASEAN youth exchanges on ocean-related issues. The report also notes that Southeast Asian youth are concerned about broader issues of ocean governance and look to China to shoulder greater responsibilities and play a larger role in global ocean governance.

Australia’s third-largest airport now runs passenger information across 950 LG displays monitored centrally via LG SuperSign CMS

News summary

Brisbane Airport manages approximately 950 LG commercial displays from a single platform LG SuperSign CMS deployed on-premise to meet strict security and operational controls for critical infrastructureLG SuperSign CMS offers leadership, operations and ICT team remote visibility and control of entire display fleetLG’s embedded System-on-Chip allows real-time flight information (FIDS), gate information, wayfinding and operational messaging to be directly pushed to display screens without external media playersBrisbane Airport’s transition to LG’s SuperSign CMS has driven down operational costs significantlyDeployed in partnership with Australian integrator Programmed, this digital overhaul forms a key part of Brisbane Airport’s ongoing $5 billion Future BNE transformation

SYDNEY, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) has partnered with Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), replacing a previously fragmented digital signage system with a modern network of approximately 950 LG commercial displays centrally managed by LG SuperSign CMS. Covering the domestic and international terminals, baggage handling areas, and car parks, these LG screens deliver real-time flight information displays (FIDS), gate information, passenger wayfinding, and operational communications reliably across a 24/7 environment.

As Australia’s third largest airport preparing for a forecast surge in passenger numbers ahead of the major event in 2032, Brisbane Airport needed to replace an increasingly unreliable, ageing network with a simplified, scalable solution that its lean ICT team could operate day-to-day.

“The reliability of the displays is essential. Without them working, people are lost — quite literally,” says Michael Kerr, Integrated Operations Manager at BAC.

To address these critical demands, LG worked alongside local integrator Programmed to deploy a centralised digital signage network driven by LG SuperSign CMS. The platform provides ICT and operations teams with comprehensive visibility across the entire display fleet remotely, replacing an otherwise manual process of physical, daily check-ups.

“LG SuperSign has been a game changer for my team. We just don’t have the arms and legs to go around and check those 950 screens on a daily basis. The monitoring capabilities really give us that eyes-on view of what’s across our infrastructure,” says Anthony Tully-Smith, ICT Applications Manager at BAC.

One system, diverse displays

BAC’s new estate involves a range of LG display solutions tailored to specific passenger zones. This includes:

43- and 49-inch LG commercial panelsLG Ultra Stretch displays in totemsLG 49XE-series high-brightness outdoor displays110-inch LG UM5K indoor screensA 136-inch LG LAPA-series All-in-One LED in international arrivals

With LG’s embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) platform and internal web page player, real-time flight information and content now play directly on the screens. This removes the need for external media players, simplifying the network architecture.

“We’ve taken what was a fragmented digital signage system, not very visible to management, now to an integrated modern solution with centralised management and health visibility,” says Graham Wands, Business Development Manager at Programmed. “LG SuperSign enables us to take a proactive stance and make sure that the FIDS and other signage are highly available and always visible to passengers.”

Built for critical infrastructure

As a privately owned critical infrastructure operator, BAC needed full control of its content. LG SuperSign CMS is deployed on-premise to meet the airport’s security and operational-control requirements. LG’s device hardening helps reduce the risk of unauthorised content, such as USB sideloading.

The project also supports the airport’s ESG goals; LG UH series screens carry Carbon Trust footprint-reduction certification, LG offers a free e-waste program, and power consumption can be monitored and optimised from LG SuperSign CMS.

“At an airport, a screen is only as useful as the information on it, and how quickly someone knows when it stops working. Brisbane Airport shows what happens when displays and management software are planned together as operational infrastructure, with a local integrator who knows the site. We’re grateful to Brisbane Airport and Programmed for the partnership, and we look forward to supporting the airport as it grows,” says Chris Wilson, Sales General Manager – Information Display at LG Electronics Australia.

Looking ahead

BAC sees LG as a long-term partner as it progresses its $5 billion Future BNE transformation, paving the way for the expansion of Terminal 3 and more LED and messaging capabilities ahead of the 2032 games. By transitioning from a fragmented legacy setup, BAC has unlocked a foundation built for long-term operational efficiency.

“For me, managing an ageing infrastructure before we moved to the new LG digital displays was costing us quite a lot from a maintenance and an ongoing perspective,” says Tully-Smith, “The move to the new LG SuperSign, but also the new LG screens, has driven down my operational cost significantly across the airport.”

This newfound efficiency has helped BAC focus on what’s most critical – passenger experience.

“It’s important for us to have a partner like LG. The innovation and the fresh thought that team brings has really helped me accelerate the digital experience across all of our terminals,” says Tully-Smith.
