Apple researchers have created an AI model that reconstructs a 3D object from a single image, while keeping reflections, highlights, and other effects consistent across different viewing angles. Here ...

Today, fireplaces, their cozy glow once a household staple, are mostly a thing of the past. In fact, a decent amount of old ...

There’s a new free AI-powered 3D CAD tool called “Zoo Design Studio”. Zoo Design is a California operation that has produced a new tool that provides simple parametric 3D CAD design features, such as ...

Abstract: Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) is considered as the key connection technique of the integration of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP). At present, ...

Humans flew around the Moon this week, but Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi were stuck on Earth — luckily, there was no shortage of stories and hacks to keep them occupied.

I’m looking at a new 3D modeling tool, Plasticity. There are many software tools that can be used to develop 3D models for 3D printing, and they are available in a wide range of pricing. At one end ...

Abstract: A light field image captured by a plenoptic camera can be considered a sampling of light distribution within a given space. However, with the limited pixel count of the sensor, the ...

Our 4B-parameter model generates high-resolution fully textured assets with exceptional fidelity and efficiency using vanilla DiTs. It utilizes a Sparse 3D VAE with 16× spatial downsampling to encode ...
