Turn photos into 3D with Meta's SAM 3D, using SAM 2 masks and Gaussian splatting, so you can build assets quickly for ...

dragon-shaped asset where scales, horns, and whiskers follow the underlying geometry rather than appearing as a flat overlay.

What if creating high-quality 3D models no longer required expensive software, specialized hardware, or years of expertise? Enter Meta’s SAM 3D, an open source AI tool that promises to provide ...

The model, called SHARP, can reconstruct a photorealistic 3D scene from a single image in under a second. Here are some examples.

Right on the heels of announcing Nova Forge, a service to train custom Nova AI models, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced more tools for enterprise customers to create their own frontier models. AWS ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Abstract: Active tactile exploration effectively reconstructs 3D shapes, particularly when visual input is limited. However, current Gaussian process (GP)-based methods primarily capture global shapes ...

Abstract: In the real world, objects reveal internal textures when sliced or cut, yet this behavior is not well-studied in 3D generation tasks today. For example, slicing a virtual 3D watermelon ...

This repo contains the official implementation for the paper "3D Gabor Splatting: Reconstruction of High-frequency Surface Texture using Gabor Noise". Our work represents a scene with a set of ...
