📢MeshPad: Interactive Sketch-Conditioned Artist-Designed Mesh Generation and Editing📢

Users can interactively design 3D models just from a sketch-based interface - check it out!

We break down the design process into addition with an autoregressive generator and deletion operations by a classifier.
