Learn about the amazing AI-enhanced advances for capture and rendering of 3D models for printed wearables and virtual clothing, avatars, and virtual worlds - all showcased at GDC.
AI has literally revolutionized 3D scanning, from markerless motion capture, to high quality avatars generated from text and images. You can now use AI to create 3D scans using only your cell phone, and these scans can be used to make beautiful 3D printed objects and professional quality wearables. You can even use AI to re-render your old scans into superior new high quality 3D models. All of these new features combined are making 3D printing more efficient and accessible to everyone.
Ryan also covers these AI 3D Advances:
-NeRF's, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and SMERF advances for 3D world representation and AI models for photogrammetry.
-Real-time error correction during the printing process that enables faster 3D printing.
-Image to 3D full physics clothing simulation for video games and in-world models.
-Real-time facial capture.
-Real-time physics.
-Avatar generation directly from text and images.
