VAST builds Tripo, an AI 3D platform used through Tripo Studio, the Tripo API, and by coding agents through the Tripo CLI. This organization holds the open code, weights and demos from our research team, with papers at SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, CVPR, ICCV, ICLR and NeurIPS.

What we work on: 3D foundation models · animation-ready assets & auto-rigging · part-aware, editable 3D · 3D Gaussians · agentic materials & shaders · single-image 3D scenes · world models & real-time generative rendering (Project Eden)

• 2026-10 · EdenLive open-sourced: real-time generative rendering from any visual reference, 24+ FPS on a single consumer GPU.
• 2026-09 · Mira-Scene released with code, checkpoints and fine-tuning data.
• 2026 · TripoSplat and AniGen at SIGGRAPH 2026; ShaderAgent at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026; GeoSAM2 and StereoWorld at CVPR 2026.

• Tripo CLI: prompt or image to engine-ready 3D from the terminal. npm install -g tripo-cli, or paste the one-line setup prompt from developers.tripo3d.ai into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
• Tripo API: text, image and multi-view to 3D, texturing, segmentation, retopology, auto-rigging and animation.
• SDKs: Python · JavaScript / TypeScript
• Integrations: ComfyUI · Blender · MCP server · DeepSeek Harness · more in Tripo-Developer

Open-source work by VAST researchers and academic collaborators, hosted outside this organization.
