Stability AI Introduces New Generative AI Tool for Creating 3D Models

Stability AI, the startup known for its text-to-image AI model Stable Diffusion, is venturing into 3D model creation tools with Stable 3D.

"Stability AI is pleased to introduce a private preview of Stable 3D, an automatic process to generate concept-quality textured 3D objects that eliminates much of that complexity and allows a non-expert to generate a draft-quality 3D model in minutes, by selecting an image or illustration, or writing a text prompt," the company said in a blog post.

This AI-powered application is designed to generate textured 3D objects for platforms like Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine, and Unity, catering to graphic designers, digital artists, and game developers.

This tool aims to streamline the often intricate and time-consuming process of 3D content creation. Stable 3D promises the capability to produce "draft-quality" 3D models in a matter of minutes, even for those without extensive expertise in 3D modeling.

Stable 3D Private Preview lets users generate draft-quality 3D models swiftly by selecting an image or providing a text prompt. These objects are delivered in the standard ".obj" file format and can be further refined in popular 3D tools.

Stability AI's latest offerings are set to provide users with an array of advanced tools, emphasizing convenience and quality. Among these are the Sky Replacer, Stable 3D Private Preview, and Stable FineTuning Private Preview.

Sky Replacer and Stable FineTuning

Sky Replacer introduces a feature enabling users to alter the color and aesthetic of the sky in their original photos, offering nine alternative options to enhance the overall visual appeal of the image.

While accessible to all, this tool is strategically designed with industries like real estate in mind, allowing professionals to present their listings under optimal conditions, irrespective of weather constraints.

"This tool can effortlessly replace a dull or overcast day with a selection of stunning sunsets, picturesque clear days, or blooming clouds to increase the visual appeal of any property or image to attract more potential buyers," said Stability AI.

Stable FineTuning Private Preview is tailored for enterprises and developers seeking to fine-tune images, objects, and styles at an accelerated pace. This integration feature lets users personalize their visuals, incorporating elements like landscapes and avatars.

Stability AI noted that this is valuable for employees in the entertainment, gaming, advertising, and marketing sectors since they depend on visuals for sales and brand-building. The company hopes to provide a more personalized customer experience with Stable FineTuning.
