GENERATIVE 3D EVIDENCE LAB.

A versioned, vendor-neutral method for testing exported AI 3D assets without turning selected renders into unsupported performance claims.

A BENCHMARK IS A RECORD,
NOT A LEADERBOARD.

The G3D.AI evidence method compares complete production attempts under the same brief, time limit and acceptance gates. It retains failed runs, exported files and cleanup observations so a reader can see what was tested and what the result does not prove.

This page publishes the protocol and blank records. It does not report a winning tool, accepted-asset rate or cleanup-time result because no public test package has yet been attached. A future result must identify its tool version, date, settings, inputs, exports and limitations before it is described as a G3D.AI benchmark.

Run one reproducible AI 3D asset test

  1. Freeze the brief

    Name the asset role, camera distance, scale, material needs, topology expectations, target engine and pass-or-fail gates before opening a generator.

  2. Record the system

    Store the provider, product, model or feature version, date, account tier, settings, seed when exposed and applicable terms reference.

  3. Retain every attempt

    Keep the prompt or authorized inputs, raw preview, original export, failed exports and rejection reason. Do not preserve only the strongest candidate.

  4. Measure the full path

    Record operator time for retries, repair, retopology, materials, rigging, import and approval. Test the accepted file in a representative engine scene.

THE MINIMUM
TEST RECORD.

One field cannot stand in for another. A fast generation may need long cleanup; an attractive preview may fail export; a technically valid file may still miss the art brief.

These files contain no sample scores and make no product claim. Duplicate them for each attempt, keep the unedited raw files beside the record and add fields when the project needs stricter controls.

What this method can and cannot prove

It can compare a defined workflow

A controlled record can show what happened for named briefs, versions, settings and target conditions. Repeated attempts can expose variation and rejection frequency inside that scope.

It cannot declare a permanent universal winner

Models, prices, terms and exporters change. Asset classes also fail differently. Conclusions must remain tied to the test date, sample and target pipeline.

It must publish failures

Selected successes hide the cost of retries. A public comparison must report rejected and broken attempts or state clearly when evidence cannot be released.
