  "account": "This is an independent test, with no input from the vendor. Both Tripo and SupaVoxel were evaluated using stock product defaults on a photograph of a ball-jointed toy skeleton. After running the image through both programs, the GLBs were dissected offline at a 120 mm target height. The test did not cover the entire review - it focused on topology, boundary edges, non-manifold edges, face winding, connected shells, sliver faces, support area, resin volume, and the cost of printing. Tripo won the topology row, while SupaVoxel had a more accurate mesh with consistent face winding, but both files required repair before printing due to inconsistent face orientation and non-manifold edges.",
  "summary": "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 62/100, SupaVoxel 88/100 I ran one photograph of a ball-jointed toy skeleton through Tripo and through SupaVoxel , both on stock product defaults, and then tore both GLBs apart offline at a 120 mm target height. This is not a sweep. Tripo wins…",
