ProSceneverse

Hand-designed 3D scenes (CAD, game environments, designed interiors and exteriors, urban scenes, stylized landscapes) curated from the TexVerse-1K Sketchfab crawl — the companion of ScanSceneverse which holds real-world photogrammetry scans.

74,624 textured designed scenes in glTF/GLB format, each with a machine-generated English caption, a scene-type label, and a thumbnail render.

Assets ship as uncompressed tar shards, not as 74,624 loose files — the Hub rate-limits that many small objects to the point of stalling. Members inside each tar keep the original layout (glbs/000-NNN/<scene_id>.glb, thumbnails/000-NNN/<scene_id>.jpeg), so extracting all shards into one directory reproduces exactly the tree that the file_name and thumbnail columns of metadata.parquet point at.

Loading

The metadata is a plain parquet file — no asset download needed to browse captions, categories, or geometry stats:

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("parquet", data_files="metadata.parquet", split="train")
print(ds[0]["caption"], ds[0]["file_name"])

Getting the assets

Full dataset (~1.0 TB), extracted back into the original layout:

hf download Stable-X/ProSceneverse --repo-type dataset \
    --include "shards/**" --local-dir ProSceneverse
cd ProSceneverse && for t in shards/glbs/*.tar shards/thumbnails/*.tar; do tar -xf "$t"; done
# -> glbs/000-NNN/<scene_id>.glb, thumbnails/000-NNN/<scene_id>.jpeg

Only the scenes you care about — shard_index.parquet maps each asset to its tar, so you can fetch a handful of shards instead of the whole set:

import pandas as pd, tarfile
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

idx = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/Stable-X/ProSceneverse/shard_index.parquet")
wanted = ["glbs/000-000/0a1b....glb"]                      # paths from metadata.parquet
for shard in idx[idx.path.isin(wanted)]["shard"].unique():
    local = hf_hub_download("Stable-X/ProSceneverse", shard, repo_type="dataset")
    with tarfile.open(local) as tf:
        tf.extractall(".", members=[tf.getmember(p) for p in wanted
                                    if p in tf.getnames()])

Then resolve meshes relative to the extraction root, e.g. with trimesh:

import trimesh, os
root = "/path/to/ProSceneverse"
mesh = trimesh.load(os.path.join(root, ds[0]["file_name"]))
