GVGEN: Text-to-3D Generation with Volumetric Representation 🧊

🔥 Update

• [2024.10.16] Code for GaussianVolume Fitting is released ! See CPS !
• [2024.07.04] Code and Models for text-conditional 3D generation are released !
• [2024.07.04] GVGEN was accepted by ECCV 2024. See you in Milan!

🌿 Introduction

We introduce GVGEN, a novel diffusion-based framework, which is designed to efficiently generate 3D Gaussian representations from text input. We propose two innovative techniques:

• Structured Volumetric Representation. We first arrange disorganized 3D Gaussian points as a structured form GaussianVolume. This transformation allows the capture of intricate texture details within a volume composed of a fixed number of Gaussians.
• Coarse-to-fine Generation Pipeline. To simplify the generation of GaussianVolume and empower the model to generate instances with detailed 3D geometry, we propose a coarse-to-fine pipeline. It initially constructs a basic geometric structure, followed by the prediction of complete Gaussian attributes.

🦄 Text-conditional 3D generation

Environment Setup

conda create -n gvgen python=3.8
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, install the diff-gaussian-rasterization submodule according to the instructions provided by 3DGS

Pretrained Models

Please download models from , put them in the folder ./ckpts.

Run

After completing all the above instructions, run

python run_text.py --text_input YOUR_TEXT_INPUT

# for example
python run_text.py --text_input "a green truck"

The generated gif and 3DGS will be saved to sample.gif and sample.ply, respectively. The text condition we used during training is derived from Cap3D. We recommend everyone to imitate the style of Cap3D's text and create your own prompts for better generation results.

⚡️ ToDo List

• Release Code for GaussianVolume fitting

• Release Code for data preprocessing

• Release Code for training
