Gate News message, April 23 — ByteDance’s Seed team released Seed3D 2.0, a text-to-3D model that generates textured 3D assets from a single image. The upgrade focuses on geometric precision and material realism, with the API now available on Volcano Ark.
Geometric generation employs a Coarse-to-Fine two-stage strategy: a large-parameter DiT model first establishes coarse-grained topology, then recovers sharp edges and fine surfaces. Material generation uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture to enhance high-resolution details, incorporating Vision Language Model (VLM) priors to improve material decomposition stability under unknown lighting conditions, outputting complete PBR maps compatible with standard rendering pipelines.
Sixty evaluators with 3D modeling experience conducted blind comparisons across approximately 200 test cases, comparing Seed3D 2.0 against Hunyuan3D-2.5/3.1, Tripo 3.0, Rodin Gen2, HiTem v2.0, and the previous Seed3D 1.0. Geometric generation preference rates ranged from 65.1% to 98.3%, while textured 3D asset preference rates exceeded 69% across all comparisons.
For downstream applications, Seed3D 2.0 can decompose 3D assets into independent components with joint information, outputting URDF format compatible with Isaac Sim and other simulation engines for dynamic interaction scenarios like robotic grasping. At the scene level, it supports text, multi-view image, or video input, combining multiple assets to generate complete scenes.

Stch Raises $7M to Expand AI-Driven Fabric Manufacturing
Stch, a Bengaluru textile startup, raised $7M to expand its AI-driven fabric reverse-engineering platform and scale partner mills in India and Bangladesh.
Abstract:
Stch, founded in 2025 by Narahari Payala and Aseem Chitkara, is an asset-light company that uses AI to convert fabric images and descriptions into technical specifications for manufacturing, partnering with mills rather than owning factories. With a $15 million-plus order book from UK, Europe, and US brands, and a pre-series A of $7 million led by Omnivore, the firm aims to broaden its AI capabilities and fabric recipes while diversifying production across regions to mitigate geopolitical risk in fashion manufacturing.

AI Tools Could Cut Game Development Costs by Half, Adding $22B in Annual Industry Profit: Morgan Stanley
AI could halve development costs and add about $22B yearly in profits; global game spend rises to $275B (2026). Benefits skew to major publishers; smaller studios risk. AAA savings ~15%; staffing may shift without large job cuts.
Abstract: Morgan Stanley's analysis suggests AI tools could cut video game development costs by about half and generate roughly $22 billion in additional annual profit, as industry spend rises to about $275 billion by 2026. Gains would be uneven, favoring publishers with strong IP and distribution networks (e.g., Tencent, Sony, Ubisoft) while mid-tier studios could struggle. Estimated cost savings for AAA publishers approach 15%, and staffing may shift toward senior engineers and portfolio leads, without a broad plunge in developer employment.
