Not all that long ago, it used to be hard, really hard to generate 3D images. It was a process that involved complex wireframes, complicated software and beefy hardware. Today that’s no longer the case.
Stability AI today announced a new generative AI technology called Stable Fast 3D to rapidly generate 3D images from a single image. Oh, and it’s fast too. According to Stability AI, the new model can generate a 3D image in half a second.
This represents a significant leap in processing time, dramatically outpacing previous models that required minutes to achieve similar results. For context back in March, Stability AI released Stable Video 3D (SV3D) which took up to 10 minutes to generate a 3D asset – Stable Fast 3D accomplishes the same task 1200 times faster.
