AI-generated 3D models have welcomed a new technology called CharacterGen, which can quickly generate 3D characters from a single image.

This technology employs an efficient generation process and an image-based multi-view diffusion model. CharacterGen can effectively calibrate input poses to a standardized form while preserving the key properties of the input image, thereby overcoming the challenges posed by diverse poses.

Additionally, CharacterGen utilizes a transformer-based scalable sparse view reconstruction model that can create detailed 3D models from multi-view images. Finally, a texture reverse projection strategy is used to generate high-quality texture maps.

Researchers have also created an anime character dataset for training and evaluating the model. After a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation, the method demonstrates proficiency in generating high-quality shapes and textures for 3D characters, which can be used for subsequent applications such as rigging and animation. The code, dataset, and pre-trained weights for this technology will be released soon.
