AI has gotten into 3D in a big way. It has been coming to this point for a year now, and several cool things have been made. Stuff like Gaussian Blurs, Splats, and NeRF has been a major talking point, but actually generative 3D has been difficult.
AI 3D
Vast Gaussian for large model creation
3D point cloud systems and Blender.
A quick intro to NeRF studio
Kiri engine turns Gaussian Splats into PLY models
RadSplat is an updated efficiency system using Gaussian Splatting.
But being able to prompt has been a lot slower going. I have tried to get an image Into 3D and then place it into Unreal Engine, but it is generally a bad creation.
However, now the ability to control and edit the 3D creations has been introduced
3D: Prompted Creation
CSM AI lets you create and edit 3D creations using AI. Then you can animate and even render them using the same website. This link is the best I could find on the subject. The announcement is huge, but getting to it is hard.
Stability AI has a new image to 3D system that can be run on your computer. Not mine, it's a potato, but yours would be great.
A long list of 3D AI projects
3D AI has gotten a lot more control for it, including changing the textures.
Latte3D makes a character in seconds
There is also a game creator that makes each frame based on AI not actual programming.
_VG: Game Creator
A new AI can create games from scratch. The problem is it's one frame a second.
Another article that talks about it with more depth
The full link list will be published, but this is to show cool ideas I've noticed while making the list. Feel free to find other info and make your own post or copy it to the AI forum.
Okay, I can't necessarily comment on specifics because then I'd have to research every damn link but I have to stop you right there. The AI being used in stuff like Blender which I can comment on is not going to be anything near the same as what we see constantly being hyped with the art generation bollocks among other things.
There's also the point to be made now that every fucking business is going to tag itself as having something made that's AI when it isn't and it will spread like a damn plague to the point that companies are going to claim even your toaster runs off AI just to try and sell it. This is a major pet hate of mine as somebody who does actually study AI and dabbles in coding the more basic forms of it for my projects.
Nothing against you in particular OP it's just on this issue I'm very much going please don't fall for the AI hype train again guys lol.
I've already seen a lot of AI will save the world stuff. For the list this month I have more than I could properly catalog and place on the list. So my backlog is even longer than it began. Yay...
The blender add on is pretty simple and just take Splats too turn into models.
The stuff like CSM and Latte 3D are the more interesting ones. They make a model, and then you can adjust it like you can with MidJourney or Stable Diffusion. You highlight an area and give a prompt. I want to sit down with it a bit more before I make a big comment. The thing about all of this is that it's been happening slowly over a year. People are saying it's happening all at once, but really they're figuring it out as they go.
