TexVerse: A Universe of 3D Objects with High-Resolution Textures

Yibo Zhang, Li Zhang, Rui Ma, Nan Cao

TL;DR

TexVerse addresses a critical gap in 3D data resources by delivering a large-scale collection of high-resolution textured models sourced from Sketchfab, including dedicated rigged and animated subsets and extensive GPT-5 annotations. The dataset comprises 858k objects with 1.66M instances, 158k with PBR materials, and broad license coverage (primarily CC BY/CC0), enabling end-to-end texture and material synthesis, animation, and 3D vision tasks. It outperforms prior datasets in texture resolution, provides comprehensive metadata and annotations, and includes specialized subsets to preserve user-uploaded skeletons and animations. The work provides a valuable, license-friendly foundation for texture generation, PBR material development, and scalable 3D research, while acknowledging limitations in metadata quality and the need for continued data cleaning and validation.

Abstract

We introduce TexVerse, a large-scale 3D dataset featuring high-resolution textures. While recent advances in large-scale 3D datasets have enhanced high-resolution geometry generation, creating high-resolution textures end-to-end remains underexplored due to the lack of suitable datasets. TexVerse fills this gap with a curated collection of over 858K unique high-resolution 3D models sourced from Sketchfab, including more than 158K models with physically based rendering (PBR) materials. Each model encompasses all of its high-resolution variants, bringing the total to 1.6M 3D instances. TexVerse also includes specialized subsets: TexVerse-Skeleton, with 69K rigged models, and TexVerse-Animation, with 54K animated models, both preserving original skeleton and animation data uploaded by the user. We also provide detailed model annotations describing overall characteristics, structural components, and intricate features. TexVerse offers a high-quality data resource with wide-ranging potential applications in texture synthesis, PBR material development, animation, and various 3D vision and graphics tasks.
