[R] Paint3D: Paint Anything 3D with Lighting-Less Texture Diffusion Models

High-quality texture maps are crucial for creating realistic 3D renders. However, texturing complex 3D assets requires extensive manual painting to cover the UV space appropriately. This makes texturing one of the most labor-intensive parts of 3D content creation.

A new paper proposes Paint3D, an AI model that can automate the creation of 2K UV texture maps using text or image conditioning.

The key is its novel coarse-to-fine framework, which first captures multi-view images from the model, then refines the texture …
