Point-E: Point cloud diffusion for 3D model synthesis
Web demo for anyone interested takes about 2 minutes to run: <a href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/osanseviero/point-e" rel="nofollow">https://huggingface.co/spaces/osanseviero/point-e</a><p>Seems super fast, some are saying 600x faster [0], than than the version made off of Google's paper. But it is a little less accurate. Point clouds are less useful but some on Reddit and the authors have tools to try to convert to meshes [1][2]. It does feel like stable diffusion level generation of good 3d assets is right around the corner. It will be interesting to see which tech wins out, whether it's some variant of depth estimation like sd2 and non ai tools can do, object spinning/multi angle view like Google's tool does, or whatever this tool does.<p>[0] <a href="https://twitter.com/DrJimFan/status/1605175485897625602?t=H_bivqPUrARugAOS2oecuQ&s=19" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/DrJimFan/status/1605175485897625602?t=H_...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zqq1ha/openais_pointe_prototype_text_to_3d_object/j0zns5r/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zqq1ha/ope...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/openai/point-e/blob/main/point_e/examples/pointcloud2mesh.ipynb">https://github.com/openai/point-e/blob/main/point_e/examples...</a>
