>>23849 > List of other 3D programmatic modelers This really is a great list. Thanks. I'll save in my robowaifu text file

I've been looking at making molds but trying to make it with the cheapest stuff I can find and thought of paper mache. I want to do some boat stuff mods for fiberglass. The traditional way to make forms with wood and fiberglass is super expensive. One way to get large forms with curves is a technique called "fabric formwork". Using that search term (look at images for links) you can find these super awesome fabric forms they use to make kick ass concrete stuff. Buildings, bridges, all sorts of stuff. They use that fabric that is used for silt control on construction sites. Make a form that drapes and fill with concrete. The water drains out leaving a super strong, and very curvy good looking concrete item when hard. https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781315675022/fabric-formwork-book-mark-west I was thinking of large boat structures, making forms with this draping technique, then using these forms to vacuum form fiberglass. The same could be used for waifus. So I look around for paper mache to make cheap forms and found the mother of all paper mache sites run by this nice Grandma, or so she says. Here's a link to her 40, paper mache recipes. All sorts. She has a nice clay type that can be used to model like modeling clay. I suspect that you could model waifus a lot faster with an actual material like this than using a computer and then printing it out. And super, super cheap compared to the tech way. Here's a link to her recipes list. Some are water proof some lower cost, some stiffer, all sorts with videos. https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/recipes-for-paper-mache If you scroll down this page she gives some good references to sculpting books and resources. She also has some good sculpting ideas. From that page and others of hers you will find a number of methods for sculpting. Once you have these sculpted you can make molds for them. https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-armature-patterns Here's another site on Tor where you can find books on sculpting, human anatomy and even books on skeletons. This one site has enough data in books to cover most any referencing you need to make models of, skeleton, muscles, etc. http://libraryfyuybp7oyidyya3ah5xvwgyx6weauoini7zyz555litmmumad.onion/ Search terms on site Human anatomy Trail Guide to the Body Skeletal Muscles Biomechanics Biomechanical Anatomy Sculpture Human Gait Human Body Life Drawing Skeleton Musculoskeletal Models Running Mechanics "discover the story of human and animal skeletons" I thought this one was nice "QuickStudy - Muscular Origins and Insertions " and for lite reading "Pedophilia & Empire Satan, Sodomy..."

>>33119 Great stuff. Helpful.

>>23844 >You are correct, I'm working on spherical actuators that should be scalable for use as a universal robotics joint. Just curious what the outcome of your research was, Anon. This would still be a tremendous benefit to us all to have 4 of these for the shoulders & hips.

>>33321 Added complexity and frankly, just simple pan tilt mechanisms ended up being better.

>>33318 Great stuff, Grommet. Thank you kindly! Cheers. :^) >>33322 Understood. We'll arrive at good solutions for everything in the end. Let's all do our best -- Gambatte!! :^)

>Hunyuan3D 2.0: Scaling Diffusion Models for High Resolution Textured 3D Assets Generation [1][2][3] >abstract: >We present Hunyuan3D 2.0, an advanced large-scale 3D synthesis system for generating high-resolution textured 3D assets. This system includes two foundation components: a large-scale shape generation model -- Hunyuan3D-DiT, and a large-scale texture synthesis model -- Hunyuan3D-Paint. The shape generative model, built on a scalable flow-based diffusion transformer, aims to create geometry that properly aligns with a given condition image, laying a solid foundation for downstream applications. The texture synthesis model, benefiting from strong geometric and diffusion priors, produces high-resolution and vibrant texture maps for either generated or hand-crafted meshes. Furthermore, we build Hunyuan3D-Studio -- a versatile, user-friendly production platform that simplifies the re-creation process of 3D assets. It allows both professional and amateur users to manipulate or even animate their meshes efficiently. We systematically evaluate our models, showing that Hunyuan3D 2.0 outperforms previous state-of-the-art models, including the open-source models and closed-source models in geometry details, condition alignment, texture quality, and etc. Hunyuan3D 2.0 is publicly released in order to fill the gaps in the open-source 3D community for large-scale foundation generative models. The code and pre-trained weights of our models are available at: this https URL --- 1. https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.12202 2. https://github.com/Tencent/Hunyuan3D-2 3. https://huggingface.co/tencent/Hunyuan3D-2

>>36183 >Hunyuan3D-DiT This looks great but it's not clear to me if you can input many different pictures taken from different angles and then have it stitch those into a 3D object OR if it just uses one picture. How it would do this, I have no clue but they sort of show one picture and then many pictures form several sides. It's confusing. "If" it does many to 3D, then I really need this but of course don't have the video card to run it. Sigh...but sooner or later some one will find a way to run it on a CPU. So it's all good.

>>36183 Thanks, I already saw that somewhere and thought about posting it here. >HuggingFace It works fast and gives decent results. I will post some here, but if I try out more further results will go to the AI art thread. I will make a crosslink anyways. Here my post on meshy.ai and why I wanted that: >>32653 - Bust to 3D model of a head. The results from my test so far are okay and better than the ones from Meshy, but it has the old problem of making the main sphere of the head too big. This can maybe be mitigated later in a 3D program, though. It also creates some other errors, though, and interprets the face too much and changes it. It especially seems to make the mouth into something sad looking or sulking, idk. Anyways, it's certainly progress. Then again, unfortunately the better model is somewhat closed source (but free?). Also, downloading the "White Mesh" on HuggingFace didn't always work right now, the button didn't respond. So, I don't have all files right now. But some, if someone needs them I might upload them, on Catbox and sooner or later on my Mega account anyways. >>36185 It being on HuggingFace means you can go to a space and try it out. Or you make an account, give them money and you might be able to make your own "space" with the model running on their servers, while you're only paying for uptime. This is mostly necessary if there is no free demo space or you want to use it more often than HF allows it for free.

>>36185 >This looks great but it's not clear to me if you can input many different pictures taken from different angles and then have it stitch those into a 3D object OR if it just uses one picture. It looks to me that this is good enough for at least one of us here to find out, Grommet. So just keep an eye out. And in the meantime, shop around and pick up at least an old-a*rse GPU, make sense? >>36287 Wow! That's really impressive, NoidoDev. Thanks for sharing these. I hope you share more in the other thread too. Are you planning to take advantage of the texturing capabilities of this model as well?

>>36294 I think this will be useful in some time, when we want to make individual faces for each waifu. Ideally going from some nice looking picture to a bust version and then to a 3D model. But, it's not very urgent. The other use case might be to get these models to be automatically animated, then we can make better videos of talking heads at some point. >Impressive The progress? Yes. The current quality? Hmm. Maybe if someone would build a more specialized model on top of it. The current results are still quite different from the input. >Share more If I make more, sure. You can make them yourself. It's easy. >Texture What for? Maybe it will smooth over some errors?

>>36295 >The progress? Yes. The current quality? Hmm. Maybe if someone would build a more specialized model on top of it. The current results are still quite different from the input. Heh, you put it like that then yeah I guess I meant the progress. I haven't seen a better single-image-to-3D-mesh-generation application thus far. BTW, can you export these meshes directly to a standard format from that tool? If so, then tweaking in Blender or Maya with smoothing tools should be quick & easy. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>36296 Yes, it exports GLB files, which I used before. I don't remember the exact way, but they can be used in OpenScad and surely even more certainly in Blender.

>>36185 >This looks great but it's not clear to me if you can input many different pictures taken from different angles and then have it stitch those into a 3D object OR if it just uses one picture. >>36294 If you can run a model locally there are extensions/other models which allow for multi angled pictures to be used for generation. (Zero123++, InstantMesh Reconstruction, Unique3D, etc) https://github.com/MrForExample/ComfyUI-3D-Pack https://comfyuiweb.com/posts/best-3d-models-with-comfyui probably can find huggingface spaces of these models, idk haven't checked.

>>36304 Thanks, Axial! At some point hopefully before long, I'd like to begin modelling dear Sumomo-chan for design production. I have plenty of references for her, but if I could use AI to generate the basic mesh that would be a big help to kickstart the overall effort. I'm sure it will need re-topo'g (after all I want to animate it as a virtual daughteru first before the physical model), but still a nice headstart. >>36298 >Yes, it exports GLB files, which I used before. I don't remember the exact way, but they can be used in OpenScad and surely even more certainly in Blender. Great, thanks NoidoDev! That's really good to hear, and looking forward to seeing whatever you manage to do with this going forward. <---> Thanks for any tips and advice along the way, Anons! Cheers. :^) >=== -sp, minor edit -add'l resp

I went on playing a bit with Hunyuan 3D >>36287, trying out the textures. It makes things look better. That said, I doubt that this is going to work for importing it into 3D modelling, since this is just a texture. For our main usecase of robowaifus only the White Meshes matter, imo. Still good to see how things progress, and it's good for content production and maybe also for some AI driven animated girlfriend app,

The next thing is to experiment with prompt to 3D. >stone bust of the head of a hairless young female, small cranium compared to the eyes, a sized down forehead compared to the eyes, the forehead should end not far above the eyes, very big eyes like Alita or a doll, smooth skin and lips, she is smiling, no eye lashes, no hair, no hair in the face, no hair around the eyes Btw, I can't upload more than one picture per drag and drop anymore.

>>36413 It's certainly necessary to work on this some more, but I consider this to be solved. What I really want though is picture to 3D, since then I can pic the face based on a picture. >stone bust of the head of a hairless young anime-like female, very big doll-like eye balls, smooth skin and lips, she is smiling, no eye lashes, no hair, no hair in the face, no hair around the eyes, the top of the bust cut of above the eye brows

Splendid research, NoidoDev. I hope I can sit down with this tool myself to get it running and do some of my own experiments with it for Sumomo-chan. Cheers. :^)

>>36435 This is great stuff. I love these pictures you churn out. Some of them anyways. The last set looks alien. AHHHHH! I wonder if you could use some open source software that meshes 2D pictures into 3D objects? Make 2D as you have, take pictures of the results and pop it into the other software and out comes 3D obj files. ????

>>36435 Thanks for prompts & examples. I've been messing with the huggingface demo. If anyone wants an easy way to install locally, this is on https://pinokio.computer/ , and they also have a low VRAM option (6GB). I got the image to 3D working locally but the text part had a compile error on my system.

>>36530 POTD Excellent resource, Barf. Have you been able to find any security issues with the tool's use yet? Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>36548 For pinokio, their install scripts are open like - https://github.com/pinokiofactory/Hunyuan3D-2 But, the app itself isn't hardened at all so all the local & temp files are unencrypted by default and all the servers aren't any more secure than your home network. CogStudio and AI Video composer on there are pretty nice too. EchoMimic is good for creating image-to-video avatars

>>36550 Thanks! Looks like I would need to use this version of the tool for my card: https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Hunyuan3D-2GP >related: https://x.com/cocktailpeanut/status/1883198608477917622?mx=2 Cheers. :^)

>>36527 > The last set looks alien. AHHHHH! That's the ones with big eyes and more anime-like looks. I especially like the ones here on the right >>36412, if I try it again then to get something like this but without the hair. >I wonder if you could use some open source software that meshes 2D pictures into 3D objects? Make 2D as you have, take pictures of the results and pop it into the other software and out comes 3D obj files. ???? This is literally what this is all about, including other parts of this thread here >>32770 where I tried the same with exports from Meshy.ai. Except this here rather creates glb files for the meshes, I haven't even looked into the ones with textures. You can certainly change them into other formats.

>>36551 I just installed that and got the text to 3D working. Here's the first output using same prompt as Noido using the lowest ram option

>>36556 That's very good news. Though, obviously the prompt following seems to be more lacking (she has hair and small eyes). I would need to see more examples to know if that's consistent.

>>36566 I used same prompt on huggingface and got same result you did. I matched up seed, guidance scale and inference steps but still got hair on local low VRAM model even at 48GB System Ram and 12GB VRAM. Here's another example with trying to shorten prompt but needs more work. Still pretty good for 6GB VRAM instead of 24GB I think

>>36556 >>36567 Neat! Thanks for the encouraging update Anon. Looking forward to seeing what all everyone accomplishes with this image-generation tool. I'm also planning to experiment with Janus-Pro as well ( >>36222 ), since it's opensource & offline-capable. Cheers. :^)

>>36567 Yeah, pretty good. I can't stop laughing. But yeah, generally it's still good of course. Just, especially for those who like big eye brows or coneheads.

>>36569 I think there's a market for it

>>36569 >>36572 >tfw ywn a cone-headed waifu... Oh wait! I guess maybe we could **someday soon* if we really wanted to! :D

>>37614 This is a really excellent resource. It also led me to BowlerStudio. I think you may have mentioned this before but I didn't really understand before I started reading more about CAD programs. BowlerStudio looks like a full scale development studio where you can design, test forces, etc. on robots. https://github.com/CommonWealthRobotics/BowlerStudio Some other stuff I found is BlocksCAD which is a visual OpenSCAD builder. Might come in handy to get started with OpenSCAD https://github.com/EinsteinsWorkshop/BlocksCAD And one other. A library that others are using and also has a 3D CAD, manifold. https://github.com/elalish/manifold This guy has some super interesting commentary on 3D libraries and CAD. He apparently figured out a way to make sure that combining objects does so correctly. Though I don't understand all of it, it seems even super expensive CAD programs can glitch in areas where they join objects and he has found a way to do this (math over my head) but he does describe it reasonably well. His library also integrates with OpenSCAD. The link below is a good read on the foibles of 3D CAD libraries. https://elalish.blogspot.com/2023/03/perseverance-history-of-manifold.html https://elalish.blogspot.com/2022/02/introducing-my-manifold-library.html https://elalish.blogspot.com/2022/03/solid-geometry-representations.html

This might interest. It's some tutorials for Seamless3d. The program I'm not sure about but the tutorials look interesting because they deal with facial and body modeling. So I'm assuming the tips they use to get character feeling would be applicable elsewhere. So some video tutorials Evolving a Cute Round-Faced 3D Character into a More Realistic Style Without Breaking the Aesthetic tutorial Colouring the Lips with ColorSweeps for a NURBS Stitched 3D Animated Character tutorial lip beautify tutorial The two main modelling poses used for animated characters are the T pose and the A pose. This tutorial shows how to transition from one pose to the other. transform a basic minimalist body into a curvy feminine figure Nostrils may not seem like a big deal, but when it comes to modeling more realistic and detailed faces, they play a major role and more http://www.seamless3d.com/
