Abstract: Current state-of-the-art text-to-3D generation methods struggle to produce 3D models with fine details and delicate structures due to limitations in differentiable mesh representation techniques. This limitation is particularly pronounced in anime character generation, where intricate features such as fingers, hair, and facial details are crucial for capturing the essence of the characters. In this paper, we introduce a novel, efficient, sparse differentiable mesh representation method, termed SparseCubes, alongside a sparse transformer network designed to generate high-quality 3D models. Our method significantly reduces computational requirements by over 95% and storage memory by 50%, enabling the creation of higher resolution meshes with enhanced details and delicate structures. We validate the effectiveness of our approach through its application to text-to-3D anime character generation, demonstrating its capability to accurately render subtle details and thin structures (e.g. individual fingers) in both meshes and textures.
