3DFY.ai, a Tel Aviv-based company, has launched 3DFY Prompt – a generative AI that allows developers and creators to build 3D models based on text prompts. The company claims that their technology democratizes professional-quality 3D model creation and enables anyone to create high-quality models that can be used in gaming, design, or virtual environments.
The Need For Easy-To-Use 3D Model Creation Tools
Creating high-quality 3D models has always required professional labor and expertise, making it inaccessible to many. Some recent AI advances, such as those announced by Nvidia, Google, and OpenAI, offer effortless 3D model creation. However, 3DFY.ai claims that those solutions compromise asset quality, which hinders the assets’ usability. To be more than a cool fad, generative AI models need to be tangibly useful.
3DFY Prompt – A Revolutionary Solution
3DFY Prompt offers a scalable AI-based solution that generates 3D models comparable to those produced by human 3D modelers. The tradeoff for professional model quality comes in the form of a category-bound solution, meaning only objects within a range of defined classes can be generated. However, with a continuously expanding range of available categories, this limitation will quickly diminish with time.
The result is beautiful 3D models, which are always divided into semantically meaningful parts, constructed with professional-level mesh topology available in multiple levels of detail. Additionally, it includes physically based rendering textures at any desired resolution and employs strictly ethical AI. The vast amounts of training data utilized to train the company’s AI are 100% synthetic and generated in-house using advanced computer graphics methods.
Eliran Dahan, CEO of 3DFY, stated, “With 3DFY Prompt, 3D creation can now be available to everyone, regardless of budget or experience, in ways that enable self-expression and save time, money and manual work for creators and without having to worry about possible copyright issues. We’re already working on additional object categories and new, unique functionality. Our overarching vision is to make 3D authoring as fun and easy as playing an online game. We want everyone to be empowered to create 3D content.”
3DFY Prompt is live and can be experienced for free right now. The company has raised $3 million in a pre-seed round to date and has seven employees with experience in computer vision, graphics, AI, and machine learning. Dahan started the company in 2019 with co-founder Tal Kenig.
While some may worry that 3DFY Prompt could eliminate jobs for game developers, Dahan believes that it will create new opportunities. He said, “We think we will see a trend here, similar to other generative AI fields, where creators would require less technical prowess and more skills around creatively using the new capabilities. But in any matter, it will be humans working with machines.” With this revolutionary solution, 3D model creation will become simple and accessible to all, empowering them to create 3D content without compromising on quality.
