The papers use four metric families. Geometry accuracy against a ground-truth mesh: Chamfer distance and F-score on sampled point clouds (TripoSR, SF3D, SPAR3D, TRELLIS, TripoSG for its VAE). Distribution quality of renders: Frechet/kernel distance or FID variants (TRELLIS FD/KD; Hunyuan CLIP-FID and CMMD). Prompt alignment: CLIP cosine similarity of renders to the prompt, and ULIP/Uni3D scores between a sampled point cloud and image or caption (Hunyuan, TRELLIS.2). Human or model preference: authors-run user studies (TRELLIS, TRELLIS.2, Hunyuan 2.0) and, for TripoSG, an LMM (Claude 3.5) judge. Geometry accuracy needs a ground-truth mesh; the alignment and distribution scores do not.
