Advances in Neural 3D Mesh Texturing: A Survey

Texturing 3D meshes plays a vital role in determining the visual realism of digital objects and scenes. Although recent generative 3D approaches based on Neural Radiance Fields and Gaussian Splatting can produce textured assets directly, polygonal meshes remain the core representation across modeling, animation, visual effects, and gaming pipelines. Neural 3D mesh texturing therefore continues to be an essential and active area of research. In this survey, we present a comprehensive review of recent advances in neural 3D mesh texturing, covering methods for texture synthesis, transfer, and completion. We first summarize key foundations in mesh geometry, texture mapping, differentiable ren...
