Tested single image -> I2V orbit -> colmap -> brush. COLMAP registered 26/49
frames but triangulated ZERO 3D points (vs 1006 for real iPad footage);
gauge fix failed, 'reconstruction' in 2.4s. Brush still emitted a 190MB .ply
from geometry-free input = garbage.
Cause: the subject isn't rigid (tail dissolves, orb appears, figure morphs).
Video models optimise temporal plausibility, not multi-view consistency.
You cannot synthesize your way out of capture. Documented so it isn't retried.
Also: TI2V-5B 704x704/49f/40steps = 337s.
runner: gpu AND cpu are now a node pool. Per-node cpu_slots (primary 3,
helpers 2, nodes.json-overridable); net stays primary-only. Python-less ops
(ffmpeg/ffprobe) now run remotely on the node's system python3. Verified: 9
concurrent ffmpeg_frames distributed 4 local / 2 m1 / 2 m4.
hunyuan3d_mlx: default to Studio-quality (octree 384, texture 4096, remesh
120k) — 4096 bake verified watchdog-free on M3 Ultra; big quality gain
(defined face, 120k faces). remesh_faces now a param. All param-overridable.
trellis_mac verified end-to-end: 18.4MB PBR GLB, clean coherent geometry on a
thin-ringed astrolabe (far beyond SF3D draft quality). ~15GB one-time download
then ~5min cached generation. All three local image->3D paths now live: sf3d
(fast draft), trellis_mac (SOTA local), plus fal cloud tier.

- run.py: force HF_HUB_DISABLE_XET=1 (xet chunked downloader fails on BFL repos
with 'Unable to parse string as hex hash value'; HTTP path is reliable)
- BENCHMARKS.md: warm generation times for all 5 local FLUX models on M3 Ultra
(Klein 4B 9.1s, schnell-4bit 18.5s, Klein 9B 18.7s, schnell 20.4s, dev 108s).
Verdict: Klein 9B = best hero-asset quality (beats schnell at same speed),
Klein 4B = volume workhorse.
