OpenAI has released Point-E, an open source AI system that can generate 3D point clouds given a text prompt.

OpenAI releases Point-E, which is like DALL-E but for 3D modeling Its resolution isn't great but it's up to two magnitudes faster than competing systems.

Point clouds are what 3D scanners create when an object is scanned, and to become useful, those point clouds are usually post-processed into 3D models (specifically, meshes) like an .obj or .stl file.

The platform can also export point cloud data to modeling programs, allowing detailed measurements to be taken and complex details such as existing dimensions and alignments to be coordinated, making ...

Ready to turn a simple photo into a professional 3D model? In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to create a 3D model from one image using AI — no expensive software, no complicated workflows ...

To simplify these processes, technological advancements have provided a solution: site surveys based on point clouds and 3D scanning, which have the potential to revolutionize the design process.

Laser-scanning technology can create exceptionally detailed 3D models of cultural sites, bringing them to life online—and helping experts restore them if disaster strikes.
