TexVerse is a large-scale 3D dataset featuring high-resolution textures. Its key characteristics include:

1. Scale & Source: TexVerse dataset has 858,669 unique 3D models curated from Sketchfab, including 158,518 with physically based rendering (PBR) materials.

2. Variants: Each model includes all high-resolution variants, resulting in a total of 1,659,097 3D instances.

3. Specialized Subsets: For the rigged and animated categories of models, we further obtain the original user-uploaded file format to prevent the loss of skeletons and animations during the format conversion of Sketchfab.

   • TexVerse-Skeleton: 69,138 rigged models.
   • TexVerse-Animation: 54,430 animated models.

   Note: We only successfully downloaded the source files for 87,414 models. For details, please refer to model_paths.txt in TexVerse-Skeleton-Animation.

4. Annotations: Detailed model annotations covering overall characteristics, structural components, and fine-grained features.
