Google Creates AI That Turns Text Into 3D Objects

DreamFusion, Google's next-gen, AI-powered text-to-3D-image generator, is here. A proof-of-concept paper is here, at least. DreamFusion is an evolution of Dream Fields, a text-to-3D-image generator revealed by Google back in 2021. And like Dream Fields, DreamFusion creates its 3D images by combining a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) -- or a neural network that can create synthetic 3D scenes using partial 2D datasets -- with a pre-trained text-to-image prompt model. Unlike Dream Fields, which utilized OpenAI's CLIP technology as that latter pre-trained model, DreamFusion now uses its own: Imagen, Google's DALL-E 2 competitor.
