they train a generative model for 3D shapes such that rendering the shapes generates images matching the distribution of a 2D data set. The generator model takes in a random input vector (values r ...

but only trying to describe the surface of an object. The empty space around it and inside it? Doesn’t matter. So first his system renders a 3D reconstruction of the 2D image in very low resolution.

This allowed them to precisely control how light is reflected, so that a 2D surface reflects light just as a 3D object would. Borrowing a technique from 3D computer graphics called Normal Mapping, ...

NVIDIA has built an artificial intelligence that can create a detailed 3D model of an object — all from just a single image of it. The system, dubbed the "differentiable interpolation-based ...

letting artists instantly transform 2D vector images into 3D models that can be rotated around the axis of the screen itself. "Project Turntable" is currently just a tightly controlled demo ...

Some experimental features are in the works for rotating vector images, producing sound ... designs and a feature for rotating 2D art as if it were a 3D object. “Project Turntable” is capable ...

A highlight was Project Turntable, an experimental tool that allows users to seamlessly rotate 2D vector ... image twists and turns, it takes on a 3D quality, almost appearing to be a physical object.
