TL;DR
SATO introduces strip-based tokenization for generating artist-quality 3D meshes with native UV segmentation. By serializing meshes into vertex sequences following topological strips, it preserves edge-flow coherence while achieving high compression.

How can we generate artist-quality 3D meshes with clean topology, regular edge flow, and native UV segmentation using an autoregressive framework?

We propose an artist-aligned strip-based serialization that preserves edge-flow coherence, achieves high compression efficiency, and makes the sequence structure easier for the model to learn.

A single token sequence supports both triangle and quad decoding, enabling triangle and quad data to synergistically reinforce each other through fine-tuning and bidirectional prior transfer.
The stride-based decoding mechanism (δ=1 for triangles, δ=2 for quads) is fully specified in Section 4.3. The synergistic reinforcement is demonstrated in Section 5.4.3 and Fig. 19, showing that quad fine-tuning improves triangle output quality. Howe

We explicitly encode UV island boundaries with dedicated tokens, making SATO the first autoregressive framework to simultaneously generate mesh geometry and UV chart partitions.
The UV island boundary encoding with C_uv_1 tokens is described in Section 4.2.3. The 'first' claim is supported by comparison with related work (MeshMosaic, MeshSilksong) in Section 5.3, showing these methods either use precomputed boundaries or pro

We construct the sequence as a connected chain of faces where each consecutive pair shares a common edge, a property that inherently aligns with the organized edge flow of artist meshes.
This is the core strip definition. Algorithm 1 provides the complete construction procedure, and the property of consecutive faces sharing edges is fundamental to the strip formulation. The alignment with artist mesh edge flow is conceptually argued

We support native UV segmentation by extending the token vocabulary with specialized segmentation tokens. This mechanism encodes UV island boundaries directly into the token sequence without sacrificing compression efficiency.
Section 4.2.3 describes the C_uv_1 token mechanism. Table 1 confirms that despite the larger vocabulary, SATO achieves higher compression ratio (3.72) than DeepMesh (3.45), supporting the 'without sacrificing compression efficiency' claim.

We distinguish strip boundaries by expanding the vocabulary of the coarsest codebook level C_geo_1. Specifically, we augment the coarsest codebook level C_geo_1 with a separate parallel set of tokens, denoted as C_t_1.
Section 4.2.2 explicitly describes the C_t_1 token set for distinguishing strip boundaries, with clear explanation of how it augments the coarsest codebook level.

We employ a prefix sharing strategy to minimize sequence length by exploiting the inherent spatial continuity within each strip.

SATO uses a 0.5B parameter autoregressive hourglass transformer backbone, which has been shown to be well-suited for mesh generation.
The architecture is fully specified (0.5B parameters, 21 layers, 8 attention heads, 1024-dim embeddings). The justification 'well-suited for mesh generation' is supported by citation to Meshtron [Hao et al. 2024], though this is an external reference

We deliberately chose this greedy, lowest-coordinate-first strategy because it yields a fixed, spatially coherent traversal pattern that the network can learn easily.
The paper states this justification but provides no empirical comparison between the greedy strategy and alternative strip decomposition approaches (e.g., globally optimized). No ablation study validates that this specific strategy is easier to learn

Instead of using a pretrained and frozen point cloud VAE encoder as in prior work, we adopt the same VAE architecture as Hunyuan3D but train it from scratch after reducing the layers and token length to better align with inputs.
Section 4.4.1 explicitly describes training the VAE from scratch with reduced layers (16→12) and token count (4096→1024), contrasting with prior work's frozen pretrained encoder approach.

局限性（作者自述）
- Our quad output is decoded from quadrilateral strips, which yields predominantly quad-dominant meshes in practice. However, in a small number of cases, e.g., when a strip has an odd length or contains repeated vertices, local faces may degenerate into triangles.
- The attainable quad quality is currently bounded by the scale and consistency of available high-quality quad-mesh datasets.
- We occasionally observe less regular edge routing on near-spherical shapes.
- This appears tied to data bias: many triangle datasets represent spheres using near-equilateral tessellations, whereas high-quality spherical exemplars are comparatively scarce in existing quad corpora.
- These cases are structurally well-defined and can be further reduced with improved dataset quality or lightweight postprocessing, which we leave to one of our future works.
