VAE reconstruction

[FloorVerhoeven]

I am trying to reproduce Fig. 6 from the arXiv report (encoding & then decoding a mesh with the VAE).
Currently I'm working with Objaverse uid 02e4a202315b4f5c9261d643df6e3183 and am getting suboptimal results (the guitar strings are reconstructed badly). The results in your figure 6 seem to have comparable thin features (the bike spokes and the fan wires) that have better quality. I'm wondering if I have the wrong settings for the marching cubes algorithm or if this specific guitar mesh cannot be represented well by the VAE.

Can you tell me what reconstruction settings you uses for the objects in Figure 6? For example mc vs DMC algorithm, octree_resolution, mc_level?
And are these meshes from objaverse? If this is the case could you tell me the uids so I can compare my results with yours?

Thank you!

Hello @FloorVerhoeven I have been trying to reproduce the same fig, can you please share me the code snippet you have used (encoder and decoder) ?
