Creating 3D assets has always been a resource-intensive process. Traditional workflows demand countless hours for modeling, ...

3D models can now be generated by AI from text or by reading and reconstructing objects, and the quality is comparable to that of hand-made 3D models. However, it has been pointed out that 3D models ...

When you imagine robots, you probably aren't picturing stretchy meshes that can float on water, but that's exactly what researchers at North Carolina State University have developed. These soft ...

Imagine snapping a photo of your favorite object, a vintage car, a family heirloom, or even your pet, and instantly transforming it into a lifelike 3D model. Thanks to Meta’s SAM 3D, this futuristic ...

Hitem3D, pioneered by MathMagic (founded 2024), converts single or multi-view images into production-ready 3D models for 3D printing, industrial design, and game asset creation. The platform serves ...

MIT engineers have designed pliable, 3D-printed meshes that can be adjusted in terms of flexibility and toughness so they can emulate and support soft tissues such as muscles and tendons. The ...

Polygonal meshes are widely used in computer graphics, robotics, and game development to represent virtual objects and scenes. Exisitng learning-based methods for 3D object generation have relied on ...

The problems that augmented reality startups aim to solve often seem trivial. Just as the HBO show Silicon Valley skewered the industry’s obsession with placing digital mustaches precisely on people’s ...
