3D-to-photo is an open source tool for Generative AI product photography, that uses 3D models to allow fine camera angle control in generated images. If you have 3D models created using the iOS 3D scanner you can upload them directly on to 3D-to-photo and describe the scene you want to create. For example: "on a city side walk" "near a lake, overlooking the water" Then click "generate" to get the final images. The tech stack behind 3D-to-photo: Handling 3d models on the web: @threejs Hosting the diffusion model: @replicate 3D scanning apps: shopify,Polycam3D or LumaLabsAI

Hey HN, this is Lina, Andrew, and Sidney from Lemon Slice. We’ve trained a custom diffusion transformer (DiT) model that achieves video streaming at 25fps and wrapped it into a demo that allows anyone to turn a photo into a real-time, talking avatar. Here’s an example conversation from co-founder Andrew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYp5xQMFZY. Try it for yourself at: https://lemonslice.com/live. (Btw, we used to be called Infinity AI and did a Show HN under that name last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41467704.) Unlike existing…

Hey everyone, at Magicflow (YC W23) we're helping our customers run AI image generation in production, enabling them to produce high-quality photos at scale. We are launching a scalable API today that makes it possible to create multi-person portrait photos: which means the ability to create real-looking photos of any two persons interacting with each other in some way only by providing a prompt and the person's pose. Generating this kind of photo requires a deep understanding of the AI ecosystem, a knowledge gap many companies face. In order to make the photos look real with high…

Hi HN! We're proud to share Hotshot, a large-scale diffusion transformer model for text-to-video generation that we built with just a 4-person team. You can try it today in beta at https://hotshot.co, with 2 free generations per day. The model generates 5 seconds of 720p video from text prompts. It excels at prompt alignment, and consistency. It also excels at generating people, animals, and nature. In blind tests with 100 users, Hotshot generations were preferred to Runway ML 60% of the time. Hotshot generations were preferred to Luma 80% of the time. Overall, users preferred…

Realistic virtual humans will play a central role in mixed and augmented reality, forming a critical foundation for the Metaverse and supporting remote presence, collaboration, education, and entertainment. To enable this, new tools are needed to easily create large-scale 3D virtual humans that can be readily animated. However, current methods need either posed 3D scans captured by expensive scanning equipment or 2D images with carefully controlled user poses. Both of them can't scale up easily. ICON ("Implicit Clothed humans Obtained from Normals") takes a step towards robust 3D clothed…
