Abstract
We present a new fully automatic block-decomposition algorithm for feature-preserving, strongly hex-dominant meshing, that yields results with a drastically larger percentage of hex elements than prior art. Our method is guided by a surface field that conforms to both surface curvature and feature lines, and exploits an ordered set of cutting loops that evenly cover the input surface, defining an arrangement of loops suitable for hex-element generation. We decompose the solid into coarse blocks by iteratively cutting it with surfaces bounded by these loops. The vast majority of the obtained blocks can be turned into hexahedral cells via simple midpoint subdivision. Our method produces pure hexahedral meshes in approximately 80% of the cases, and hex-dominant meshes with less than 2% non-hexahedral cells in the remaining cases. We demonstrate the robustness of our method on 70+ models, including CAD objects with features of various complexity, organic and synthetic shapes, and provide extensive comparisons to prior art, demonstrating its superiority.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
