Meta Research has introduced 3DGen, a new AI system that creates high-quality 3D assets from text prompts in less than a minute. 3DGen combines two powerful components: AssetGen for initial 3D generation and TextureGen for enhanced texturing. The system outperforms leading industry solutions in prompt fidelity and visual quality, especially for complex scenes. 3DGen supports physically-based rendering, allowing generated assets to be used for real-world applications.

Key details:

• Generates 3D assets with high-resolution textures and material maps
• Produces results 3-10x faster than existing solutions
• Supports PBR (physically-based rendering) for realistic lighting
• Can generate new textures for existing 3D shapes
• Outperforms baselines on prompt fidelity
• Beats TripoSR by Stability and Tripo3D in generation time and quality
• Evaluated by professional 3D artists and general users
• For now only research paper published, code still not released

Runway has launched Gen-3 Alpha, a powerful text-to-video AI model now generally available. Previously, it was only accessible to partners and testers. This tool allows users to generate high-fidelity videos from text prompts with remarkable detail and control. Gen-3 Alpha offers improved quality and realism compared to recent competitors Luma and Kling. It's designed for artists and creators, enabling them to explore novel concepts and scenarios.

• Text to Video (released), Image to Video and Video to Video (coming soon)
• Offers fine-grained temporal control for complex scene changes and transitions
• Trained on a new infrastructure for large-scale multimodal learning
• Major improvement in fidelity, consistency, and motion
• Paid plans are currently prioritized. Free limited access should be available later.
• RunwayML historically co-created Stable Diffusion and released SD 1.5.
