Abstract: This work explores expanding the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) pretrained on text to generate 3D meshes within a unified model. This offers key advantages of (1) leveraging spatial knowledge already embedded in LLMs, derived from textual sources like 3D tutorials, and (2) enabling conversational 3D generation and mesh understanding. A primary challenge is effectively tokenizing 3D mesh data into discrete tokens that LLMs can process seamlessly. To address this, we introduce LLaMA-Mesh, a novel approach that represents the vertex coordinates and face definitions of 3D meshes as plain text, allowing direct integration with LLMs without expanding the vocabulary. We construct a supervised fine-tuning (SFT) dataset enabling pretrained LLMs to (1) generate 3D meshes from text prompts, (2) produce interleaved text and 3D mesh outputs as required, and (3) understand and interpret 3D meshes. Our work is the first to demonstrate that LLMs can be fine-tuned to acquire complex spatial knowledge for 3D mesh generation in a text-based format, effectively unifying the 3D and text modalities. LLaMA-Mesh achieves mesh generation quality on par with models trained from scratch while maintaining strong text generation performance.
Method
Overview of our method. LLaMA-Mesh unifies text and 3D mesh in a uniform format by representing the numerical values of vertex coordinates and face definitions of a 3D mesh as plain text. Our model is trained using text and 3D interleaved data in an end-to-end manner. Therefore, our model can generate both text and 3D meshes in a unified model.

Training Dataset:
Please refer to Llama 3.1 Model Card for information on Training, Testing, and Evaluation Datasets).
The data is curated through converting Objaverse mesh data into text string (in the format as vertex index, face index as string). The model is finetuned on the curated dataset with 32 GPU.
Data Collection Method by dataset: Unknown
Labeling Method by dataset: Unknown
Properties: We use 30k mesh data, which is a subset from the Objaverse. We filter the Objaverse dataset by the number of faces, and only keep the shape with the number of faces less than 500. They are saved as obj file format.
Dataset License(s): The use of the dataset as a whole is licensed under the ODC-By v1.0 license.
