Feed-forward single-image→3D — fast, open, and well-documented.

What it is

InstantMesh is a feed-forward image→3D model from Tencent ARC. It produces a textured mesh in roughly 10 seconds from a single image and ships under Apache 2.0, making it one of the friendlier open baselines to build on. A good reference implementation for researchers and tinkerers; production users will usually want Hunyuan3D or TRELLIS.
