Developers and game makers in need of a solution to generate 3D objects conditioned on text or images
About Shap-E
This is the official code and model release for Shap-E. Generate 3D objects conditioned on text or images. Sample a 3D model, conditioned on a text prompt, or conditioned on a synthetic view image. To get the best result, you should remove the background from the input image. Load 3D models or a trimesh, and create a batch of multiview renders and a point cloud encode them into a latent and render it back. For this to work, install Blender version 3.3.1 or higher.

Magic3D
Together with image conditioning techniques as well as prompt-based editing approach, we provide users with new ways to control 3D synthesis, opening up new avenues to various creative applications. Magic3D can create high-quality 3D textured mesh models from input text prompts. It utilizes a coarse-to-fine strategy leveraging both low- and high-resolution diffusion priors for learning the 3D representation of the target content. Magic3D synthesizes 3D content with 8× higher-resolution supervision than DreamFusion while also being 2× faster. Given a coarse model generated with a base text prompt, we can modify parts of the text in the prompt, and then fine-tune the NeRF and 3D mesh models to obtain an edited high-resolution 3D mesh.

GET3D
We generate a 3D SDF and a texture field via two latent codes. We utilize DMTet to extract a 3D surface mesh from the SDF and query the texture field at surface points to get colors. We train with adversarial losses defined on 2D images. In particular, we use a rasterization-based differentiable renderer to obtain RGB images and silhouettes. We utilize two 2D discriminators, each on RGB image, and silhouette, respectively, to classify whether the inputs are real or fake. The whole model is end-to-end trainable. As several industries are moving towards modeling massive 3D virtual worlds, the need for content creation tools that can scale in terms of the quantity, quality, and diversity of 3D content is becoming evident. In our work, we aim to train performant 3D generative models that synthesize textured meshes which can be directly consumed by 3D rendering engines, thus immediately usable in downstream applications.

Point-E
While recent work on text-conditional 3D object generation has shown promising results, the state-of-the-art methods typically require multiple GPU-hours to produce a single sample. This is in stark contrast to state-of-the-art generative image models, which produce samples in a number of seconds or minutes. In this paper, we explore an alternative method for 3D object generation which produces 3D models in only 1-2 minutes on a single GPU. Our method first generates a single synthetic view using a text-to-image diffusion model and then produces a 3D point cloud using a second diffusion model which conditions the generated image. While our method still falls short of the state-of-the-art in terms of sample quality, it is one to two orders of magnitude faster to sample from, offering a practical trade-off for some use cases. We release our pre-trained point cloud diffusion models, as well as evaluation code and models, at this https URL.
