Then, an image-to-3D AI swings into action to turn the flat rendering into a 3D model. So, if you were to ask Point-E to make a traffic cone, it would start with a stripey triangle.

Most of these tools are at the parlor-trick level of sophistication, and can produce only rough organic models. Most systems are focused on specific model domains. For example, I tried a system the ...

A new text-to-3D artificial intelligence model has been created by startup Luma Labs. The AI tool lets you turn a simple phrase or word into an object you can 3D print or use in a game. Named ...

StabilityAI, makers of the Stable Diffusion family of AI image models has unveiled a new image-to-3D tool called TripoSR that can quickly turn a picture into an object. There are a growing number ...

According to Midwood, it is also helpful for fast rigging 3D models—specifying the models’ bones and joints—and creating animations that can be manually adjusted. The recently published version of ...

3D printers are essentially commodities but by adding wacky but endearing things like this fun backpack the makers are really taking 3D printing to the next – and not-so-obvious – level.

Next, they are to add a description and later add their preferred colours. Once you have typed your requirements, the tool takes nearly two to eight minutes to create the desired 3D model. As the tool ...

Concordia researchers have developed a new technique that can help create high-quality, accurate 3D models of large-scale landscapes — essentially, digital replicas of the real world. While more work ...

A new, free, simple to use CAD tool enables electronic engineers to quickly create and update 3D models for product concepts and prototypes. Produced by RS Components, working with CAD software ...
