Readiness
L0 · Geometry ready
Rationale
Geometric L0: single clean 3D models with category and alignment annotations; ShapeNetSem adds real dimensions, material composition and weight estimates, but no semantic materials or physical behavior, hence L0 geometric base.
Scale
Whole index ~3M models (220K in 3,135 categories); ShapeNetCore 55 categories ~51,300 models; ShapeNetSem 12,000 models / 270 categories (ShapeNet tech report (2015) and site stats: ~3M total, ShapeNetCore ~51,300, ShapeNetSem 12,000; Hugging Face now distributes via access-request + terms-of-use. Checked 2026-10-25.)
License
Mixed (check per asset) — Registration is required to download; data is for research use under ShapeNet terms, and Hugging Face distribution adds terms-of-use acceptance — non-commercial.

Why it is listed

ShapeNet is the foundational, richly annotated repository of 3D CAD models for computer graphics, vision and robotics: clean, aligned meshes with category labels that bootstrap nearly every later part and articulation dataset.

Readiness assessment

ShapeNetCore ships single clean models with manual category and alignment annotations over 55 categories (~51,300 models); ShapeNetSem adds real-world dimensions, material composition and weight estimates across a broader 270-category set.

Practical notes

You must register as a user to download the data, and the content is for research use under the ShapeNet terms, so it is the L0 geometric base layer rather than a physically simulated asset.
