Show HN: TRELLIS.2 image-to-3D running on Mac Silicon – no Nvidia GPU needed | Hacker News

Microsoft’s TRELLIS.2 image-to-3D model has been ported to Apple Silicon for local Mac use.

The developer replaced CUDA-only pieces with PyTorch-based alternatives so it can run on PyTorch MPS.

On an M4 Pro, it can generate large 3D meshes from a single image without Nvidia hardware or cloud access.

The port lowers the hardware barrier and makes offline 3D generation much more accessible on Macs.
