Systems and methods are directed to encoding and/or decoding of the textures/geometry of a three-dimensional volumetric representation. An encoding computing system can obtain voxel blocks from a three-dimensional volumetric representation of an object. The encoding computing system can encode voxel blocks with a machine-learned voxel encoding model to obtain encoded voxel blocks. The encoding computing system can decode the encoded voxel blocks with a machine-learned voxel decoding model to obtain reconstructed voxel blocks. The encoding computing system can generate a reconstructed mesh representation of the object based at least in part on the one or more reconstructed voxel blocks. The encoding computing system can encode textures associated with the voxel blocks according to an encoding scheme and based at least in part on the reconstructed mesh representation of the object to obtain encoded textures.
