Text-to-3D is a cutting-edge field where AI takes ordinary text descriptions and transforms them into astonishing 3D objects, bridging the imaginative power of words with the visual impact of 3D modeling. It's like bringing your wildest ideas to life in a tangible form (not just images!), and MVDream is leading the way in this transformative arena.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making giant strides in recent years, from generating text to crafting lifelike images and even
. But the real challenge lies in turning simple textual descriptions into intricate 3D models, complete with all the fine details and realistic features that our world is composed of. That's where MVDream steps in, not as just another initial step but as a monumental leap forward in 3D model generation from text.
In this video, we'll unveil the astounding capabilities of MVDream. You'll witness how this AI understands the physics of 3D modeling like never before, creating high-quality, realistic 3D objects from nothing more than a short sentence. We'll showcase its prowess in comparison with other approaches, highlighting its ability to produce spatially coherent, real-world objects, free from the quirks of past models.
But how does MVDream work its magic? We'll delve into the inner workings of this AI powerhouse, exploring its architecture and the ingenious techniques it employs. You'll discover its evolution from a 2D image diffusion model to a multi-view diffusion model, enabling it to generate multiple views of an object and, most importantly, to ensure the consistency of the 3D models it creates.
Of course, no technology is without its limitations, and MVDream is no exception. We'll also discuss its current constraints, including resolution and dataset size. These are crucial factors that impact the applicability of this impressive technology.
So, join us on this exciting journey as we unravel the mysteries behind MVDream, a model that's rewriting the rules of 3D modeling, and explore the incredible possibilities it offers. If you're curious about the intersection of AI, 3D modeling, and the future of creativity, this video is a must-watch. Let's dive right in!

I'm super excited to share this new AI
model with you we've seen so many new
approaches to generating text then
generating images only getting better
after that we've seen other amazing
initial works for generating videos and
even 3D models out of text just imagine
the complexity of such a task when all
you have is a sentence and you need to
generate something that could look like
a real object in our real world with all
its details well here's a new model that
is not merely an initial step it's a
huge step forward in 3D model generation
from just text mvdream as you can see it
seems like mvdream is able to understand
physics compared to previous approaches
in jetset it knows that the view should
be realistic with only two ears and not
two for any possible views it ends up
creating a very high quality 3D model
out of just this simple line of text how
cool is this but what's even cooler is
how it works so let's dive into it but
before doing so let me introduce a super
cool company answering the video with
another application of artificial
intelligence voice synthesis introducing
kit.ai a platform for artists producers
and fans to create AI voice models with
ease and even create monetizable work
with licensed AI voice models of your
favorite artists kids that AI offers a
library of licensed artist voices and
royalty-free library and a community
library with voice models of characters
and celebrities created by the users you
can even train your own voice with one
click simply provide audio files of the
voice you want to replicate and kids
that AI will create an AI voice model
for you to use with no back-end
knowledge required generate voice model
conversion by providing a nakapella file
recording audio manually or even
inputting a YouTube link for easy vocal
separation and that's pretty cool since
I can do it pretty easily get started
with kits.ai using the first link in the
description right now
now let's get back to the 3D World if
you look at a 3D model the biggest
challenge is that they need to generate
both realistic and high quality images
for each view from where you are looking
at it and those views have to be
spatially coherent with each other not
like the four eared Yoda we previously
saw are multi-phase subjects we see
since we rarely have people from the
back in any image data set so the model
kind of wants to see faces out because
one of the main approaches to generating
3D models is to simulate a view angle
from a camera and then generate what it
should be seeing from this Viewpoint
this is called 2D lifting since we
generate regular images to combine them
into a full 3d scene then we generate
all possible views from around the
object that is why we are used to seeing
weird artifacts like these since the
model is just trying to generate one
View at a time and doesn't understand
the overall object well enough in the 3D
space well MP dream made a huge step in
this Direction They tackled what we call
the 3D consistency problem and even
claimed to have solved it using a
technique called score distillation
sampling introduced by dream Fusion
another text to 3D method that was
published in late 2022 which I covered
on the channel by the way if you enjoyed
this video and these kinds of new
technologies you should definitely
subscribe I cover new approaches like
this one every week on the channel
before entering into the score
distribution sampling Technique we need
to know about the architecture they are
using in short it's yet just another 2D
image diffusion model like Dali
mid-journey or stable diffusion more
specifically they started with a
pre-trained dreambooth Model A powerful
open source model to generate images
based on stable diffusion that I already
covered on the channel then the change
they made was to render a set of
multi-view images directly instead of
only one image thanks to being trained
on a 3D data set of various objects here
we take multiple views from the 3D
object that we have in our data set and
use them to train the model to generate
them backward this is done by changing
the self-attention block we see here in
blue for a 3D one meaning that we simply
add a dimension to reconstruct multiple
images at a time instead of one below
you can see the camera and time step
that is also being inputted into the
model for each view to help the model
understand where which image is going
and what kind of view needs to be
generated now all the images are
connected and generated together so they
can share information and better
understand the global content then you
feed it your text and train the model to
reconstruct the objects from a data set
accurately this is where they apply
their multi-view score distillation
sampling process I mentioned they now
have a multi-view diffusion model which
can generate well multiple views of an
object but they needed to reconstruct
consistent 3D models not just views so
this is often done using Nerf or neural
Radiance Fields as it is done with trim
Fusion which we mentioned earlier it
basically uses the trained multi-view
diffusion model that we have and freezes
it meaning that it is just being used
and not being trained we start
generating an initial image version
Guided by our caption and initial
rendering with added noise using our
multi-view diffusion model we add noise
so that the model knows it needs to
generate a different version of the
image while still receiving context for
it then we use the model to generate a
higher quality image add the image used
to generate it and remove the Noise We
manually added to use this result to
guide and improve our Nerf model for the
next step we do all that to better
understand where in the image the Nerf
model should focus its attention to
produce better results in the next step
and we repeat that until the 3D model is
satisfying enough and voila this is how
they took a 2d text to image model
adapted it for multiple view synthesis
and finally used it to create a text to
3D version of the model iteratively of
course they added many technical
improvements to the approaches they
based themselves on which I did not
enter into for Simplicity but if you are
curious I definitely invite you to read
their great paper for more information
they are also still some limitations
with this new approach mainly that the
generations are only of 256 by 256
pixels which is quite low resolution
even though the results look incredible
they also mentioned that the size of the
data set for this task is definitely a
limitation for the generalizability of
the approach this was an overview of
Envy dream and thank you for watching I
will see you next time with another
amazing paper
thank you
