Today, Tencent announced the open-source release of its Hunyuan 3D Generation Model 2.0, along with the launch of the Hunyuan 3D AI Creation Engine, marking the official debut of the industry's first "one-stop 3D content AI creation platform." This innovative platform allows users to quickly generate high-quality 3D models through simple text or image inputs, greatly simplifying the process of 3D content creation.
The Hunyuan 3D Generation Model 2.0 has undergone a comprehensive technical upgrade, particularly in two key areas: geometry and texture. The geometry model is primarily responsible for capturing the shape and structure of 3D objects. Tencent has employed advanced technologies such as Hunyuan3D-DiT and Hunyuan ShapeVAE, resulting in "white model" outputs that are comparable to those crafted by designers manually. The texture model, Hunyuan3D-Paint, can add various intricate textures to the "white model" based on user-provided text or images.
Additionally, Tencent has innovatively introduced a "decoupled generation" method, allowing the geometry and texture models to work in synergy, achieving a generation effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2). This means users can complete the entire process from modeling to animation production on a single platform without the need for additional tools, enhancing work efficiency.
Specifically, the Hunyuan 3D AI Creation Engine supports various functions, including generating 3D models from text and images, low-polygon model generation, 3D animation creation, and high-definition texture generation. Users can easily generate multiple 3D models by simply inputting a brief description or uploading an image, and choose from different texture styles. These features are particularly suitable for game development, virtual reality, and various creative designs.
Currently, Tencent's Hunyuan 3D technology has been widely applied in areas such as UGC (User-Generated Content) creation, product material synthesis, and 3D asset generation for games. For example, Tencent Maps utilizes this technology to create personalized 3D navigation vehicle icons, improving efficiency by 91%. Developers can download the Hunyuan 3D 2.0 model from platforms like GitHub and Hugging Face, while users can apply for an experience through the official website.
As the Hunyuan 3D generation technology continues to improve, Tencent is undoubtedly taking solid steps forward on the future path of 3D content creation.
