The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators ... team trained an additional AI system to convert Point-E’s point clouds to meshes. (Meshes — the collections ...

The model pipeline starts with generating a synthetic view conditioned on a text prompt. Next, it conditions a 3D point cloud (1024 points) on the synthetic view. Finally, it produces a fine 3D ...

Not all point clouds are destined to be 3D models. A project may call for watching for changes in a surface, for example. We’ve gone into detail in the past about how 3D scanning works ...
