Mars Era Education Officially Partners with Tripo AI
Mars Era Education Officially Partners with Tripo AI to Advance Cutting-Edge AI 3D Talent Development
Recently, Mars Era Education, a leading AI design vocational education brand in China, officially entered into an official training partnership with Tripo AI (owned by VAST), the world's leading AI 3D generation platform, and held an awarding ceremony. Mars Era Education has become Tripo AI's official training center. The two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation around AI 3D technology in areas such as training courses, talent certification, campus ecosystem support, and industrial project practice, jointly promoting the systematic implementation of AI 3D technology in vocational education for the digital creative industry and the cultivation of cutting-edge AI 3D talents.
The awarding ceremony was held at Mars Era Education's Beijing campus. Liang Ding, CTO of VAST, Chris Li, Head of Education Ecosystem, Li Xiaodong, Director of Teaching at Mars Era Education, and Wang Jia, Director of Admissions at Mars Era Education, attended the ceremony together. They also jointly hosted a public lecture themed "AI 3D: Reshaping Game Creation — Endless Possibilities from Concept to World" as the first industry exchange event following the launch of their partnership.

A Powerful Alliance: Building a New Ecosystem for AI 3D Talent Development
As a leading institution with over 30 years of experience in digital arts vocational education, Mars Era Education boasts a complete curriculum system and industrial resources, having sent over 300,000 specialized professionals into the industry. Tripo AI, leveraging VAST's self-developed large-scale 3D generation foundation model, possesses internationally leading technical capabilities in AI-driven 3D content generation. This awarding ceremony marks the deep integration of cutting-edge AI 3D tools with a mature teaching system, delivering interdisciplinary talents with AI-assisted creation capabilities to the industry.
According to the announcement, Mars Era Education will incorporate Tripo AI's core functional modules into its existing game 3D modeling professional courses to upgrade training content. During their studies, Mars Era Education students will receive Tripo AI premium accounts, technical support, and opportunities for competitions or practical projects. Tripo AI will also leverage Mars Era Education's teaching network, and both parties will jointly explore the application validation and iteration of AI 3D technology in educational scenarios.

Public Lecture Focuses on Industrial Applications, Showcasing AI 3D Transformation Potential
As the first public event following the partnership launch, the day's public lecture gathered key members of VAST's technology R&D and ecosystem cooperation teams. VAST CTO Liang Ding shared that the Tripo platform, which started in 2023 and has been continuously iterating ever since, now covers full-process capabilities from image-to-3D generation, one-click high-definition, intelligent editing to automatic part splitting.
At the algorithm level, core technologies such as H3.1 and the P series are evolving from single-point functions to comprehensive solutions. Going forward, the team will continue to make breakthroughs in high-precision modeling, quad-face generation, 8K texturing, UV technology, and more. The team's goal is to allow creators to focus more on creativity itself, truly realizing technology serving art.
Additionally, Chris Li, Head of VAST's Education Ecosystem Cooperation, systematically shared how AI 3D is reshaping the game art creation process in his lecture. He pointed out that traditional manual modeling that used to take hours or even weeks can now be completed in seconds through Tripo AI — starting from text prompts or 2D concept art, quickly generating 3D models with clear topology and PBR textures, which has been widely applied in actual projects of leading game companies such as Tencent and NetEase. Meanwhile, Tripo AI is committed to connecting diverse ecosystems centered on 3D — including industry, profession, and education — to jointly explore more possibilities in 3D creation.

Campus Cooperation Ecosystem Launches, Exploring the Endless Possibilities of "AI 3D Creativity"
According to the announcement, Mars Era Education and Tripo AI will also launch more AI 3D activities to continuously expand the campus creation ecosystem.
In his closing remarks, Li Xiaodong, Director of Teaching at Mars Era Education, stated that AI's performance in the 3D modeling field is evident to all — it not only rapidly generates high-detail assets and significantly improves production efficiency but also opens up more possibilities for high-quality industry development. At the same time, the modeling industry still has a great deal of meticulous manual work that follows strict game production standards and requires human participation. The "human + AI" model is the key to future modeling production, and he looks forward to students better realizing their creative visions with the support of AI technology.
Going forward, both parties will continue to explore more possibilities of "AI 3D creativity" based on ongoing ecosystem cooperation results, helping the next generation of model creators seize opportunities amid technological transformation.
