Tripo GLB Export Review 2026: 63.61 MB for One Knitted Tray

This is an independent test. Nothing here came from vendor access: both tools were used on my own free and paid accounts. My verdict in 60 seconds — Tripo 60/100, SupaVoxel 89/100 The question on this tray was whether Tripo or SupaVoxel was faking the cable knit with a normal map on a smooth shell — because if either were, you would print a bald tray. Neither is. The untextured mesh renders,…

Tripo GLB Export Review 2026 reveals that Tripo surpassed SupaVoxel in cable knit quality for a knitted tray. Both tools rendered the tray without any faked relief, confirming the genuine nature of the cable knit. Tripo's 63.61 MB GLB size consisted of a 4096 PNG normal map (4.72 MB) and three distinguishable stitch languages on the rim.

SupaVoxel, on the other hand, employed a 2048 WebP normal map (144 KB) and smooth fat tubes for the cables, flattening the ground into soft ridges. Despite using significantly fewer triangles (971,646 against 1,905,766), Tripo's rim successfully displayed a braided cable, seed/moss field, and 1×1 rib, while SupaVoxel represented the cables as smooth fat tubes and the rib field as soft parallel ridges.
