What You Need To Know About OpenAI’s New 3D Model-Making AI, Point-E

OpenAI has launched a new generative AI platform called Point-E, which is capable of rendering 3D images out of digital noise. Similar to DALL-E, another model by OpenAI that generates 2D images from text prompts, Point-E can create 3D objects based on text descriptions. It also has the ability to generate 3D point clouds from 2D images and convert point clouds into 3D meshes. The technology is still in its experimental stage but could become an integral part of various industries such as video game design, hardware product development, and more. OpenAI researchers acknowledge that there are areas for improvement, including the need to train generators that condition on real-world images and enhance the resolution of 3D shapes produced by Point-E.
