Meta Unveils a New 3D Model Generator for Realistic Text-to-3D Creations

Meta has launched a new tool named "3D Gen," designed to generate high-quality 3D models and textures based on simple text descriptions. This innovative tool promises to revolutionize the way 3D assets are created, offering speed and precision that outpaces current industry standards.

The 3D Gen system can produce detailed 3D objects and textures in under a minute, making it a powerful tool for artists, game developers, and designers. Unlike existing systems like Midjourney and Adobe Firefly, which primarily focus on image generation, Meta's 3D Gen also supports physically-based rendering (PBR), ensuring that the generated models are ready for real-world applications such as gaming and virtual reality.

Meta Unveils Its Own AI Tool for Coding Called Code Llama

Code Llama comes in three variations: the foundational Code Llama model, Code Llama-Python specialized for Python, and Code Llama-Instruct fine-tuned for comprehending natural language instructions.

The technology behind 3D Gen relies on two advanced AI models developed by Meta: AssetGen and TextureGen. AssetGen handles the creation of 3D shapes from text, while TextureGen generates high-resolution textures, enabling the creation of immersive and realistic 3D models. Together, these models allow users to create and retexture 3D assets with unprecedented speed and quality.

According to Meta, 3D Gen operates three to ten times faster than other similar tools, making it a preferred choice among professional artists who have tested the system. The tool not only generates models quickly but also refines textures in UV space, ensuring sharpness and intricate detail.
