Now they need to compare it with Hunyuan 3D 3.0 or other SOTA 3D generator.
Obviously it's not spewing $10,000 3D models, but results are much better than what you would get for under $500 from a human 5 years ago.
So yeah you still need human art director to make sure actual source material used for generation fits your art style, but otherwise "good enough" models are 1000 times cheaper and 10000 times faster to get.
yea this 3d trellis 2 video tutorial blew my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-9P12OVqsg
"5 years ago" - you may be right but this is also very debatable.
We've used Hunyuan 3D and while better than Trellis in most cases, it was no where near the type of quality we would and have gotten from a $500 human touch. This is within the last year. And I would very much argue that 5 years ago the $500 model would still win.
