Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp,
Meta said that the 3D Gen is a combined AI system that can generate high-quality 3D assets, with both high-resolution textures and material
maps, all within one minute.Meta 3D Gen: What is it
According to the paper published by the Researchers at Meta, Meta 3D Gen is a combined
system that uses two AI-powered sub-systems called Meta 3D AssetGen and Meta 3D TextureGen
The system can take text prompts from the user and produce a final output of AI generated 3D content such as characters, props or scenes
Additionally, the user can also provide the system with an already created 3D mesh, which is essentially the structure of a 3D model, and
ask it to add texture to it.Meta 3D Gen: How it works
Meta said that the 3D Gen AI system uses Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) techniques
to build up 3D content from scratch
The system first takes an input from the user which contains instructions for creating a 3D structure and its design elements including the
This step produces a 3D mesh with texture and PBR material maps
Meta said that the inference time for this step is approximately 30 seconds.
In stage two, a higher-quality texture and PBR maps are
generated for the 3D asset generated in stage one
This step utilises the Meta 3D TextureGen system that takes approximately 20 seconds, according to the company.
Additionally, the Meta 3D
TextureGen system can be used individually by the user as a text-to-texture generator
If the user provides the system with an already generated 3D mesh along with a text prompt detailing the texture they want on the 3D
content, the system automatically initiates step two.
In an example shared by the company, a user inputs a prompt asking the AI system to
generate a T-rex wearing a green wool sweater, the system first creates a 3D visual for the T-rex and then adds the wool sweater texture and
other colour details.
