MIT researchers addressed a key challenge in generating high-quality 3D models

Creating realistic 3D shapes using generative AI.

MIT researchers have tackled a significant challenge in creating high-quality 3D models by refining the Score Distillation technique. This method uses 2D image generation models, which are optimized for creating lifelike 2D images, to generate 3D shapes. However, since these models are not designed for 3D, they often result in blurry or cartoonish outputs when applied to 3D shapes. The researchers’ improvements aim to bridge this gap and produce sharper, more realistic 3D models.
