What is Point-E?

Recent progress in generating 3D objects from text has shown promising results; nonetheless, many of the leading techniques typically require multiple hours on powerful GPUs to produce just one sample, which stands in stark contrast to the more advanced generative image models that can create samples in a matter of seconds or minutes. In this research, we introduce a novel method for 3D object generation that allows for model creation in merely 1-2 minutes using only a single GPU. Our approach begins with generating a synthetic view through a text-to-image diffusion model, and it is followed by constructing a 3D point cloud using a second diffusion model that is conditioned on the image produced. Although our method has not yet reached the highest quality levels of the best existing techniques, it provides a considerably quicker sampling process, thus serving as a valuable alternative for certain applications. Additionally, we make available our pre-trained point cloud diffusion models, as well as the evaluation code and supplementary models, accessible at this provided URL. This endeavor is intended to encourage further research and innovation in the area of rapid 3D object generation, potentially paving the way for more efficient workflows in the industry.
