Earthquake in Japan: a 3D model reveals how hidden faults raised the ground by up to 5 meters on the Noto Peninsula.

We’ve seen a few different ways to add textures to 3D prints, including using Blender to modify model surfaces. Textures can enhance the look of a model, and are also a good way to hide layer lines.

The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt.

Roblox is launching and open-sourcing Cube 3D, the first version of its foundational AI model for generating 3D objects. The model is trained on 3D objects. Eventually, it will be multimodal.

This so-called Large Photogrammetry Model is able to reconstruct 3D objects and scenes from just a few 2D photos, but with a big difference from current pipelines. Here’s why this is a big deal ...
