SAM 3 - 3D Objects can struggle with highly transparent or reflective objects because the reconstruction algorithm relies on visible surface features and texture information. Glass, mirrors, and chrome surfaces often lack the distinct visual cues needed for accurate geometry reconstruction, potentially resulting in incomplete or distorted 3D models. For best results with transparent objects, photograph them against contrasting backgrounds and ensure they have visible edges, labels, or surface imperfections that provide segmentation cues. Reflective objects benefit from matte spray coatings or diffused lighting that reduces specular highlights. If your project heavily involves transparent or reflective materials, you may need to manually refine outputs in 3D software or consider alternative reconstruction methods. For solid, opaque objects with clear surface details, SAM 3 delivers excellent results. Models like
Hunyuan3D-2.1 Quality Mode may handle certain material types differently, so testing multiple approaches is recommended for challenging subjects.
