Recently, an innovative technology named LHM (Large-scale Human Model for Animation) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of 3D human body reconstruction, bringing new development directions and application prospects to the field. Reconstructing animatable 3D human bodies from a single image has been a highly challenging task, plagued by ambiguities in geometry, appearance, and deformation separation. Current state-of-the-art research mostly focuses on static human modeling, and these methods often rely on synthetic 3D scans for training, which greatly limits their applications in...

Roblox recently released Cube, a 3D intelligent base model, marking a significant advancement for game developers who can now leverage the power of artificial intelligence in designing game assets. Roblox has always encouraged users to create their own games, items, and clothing, and now this process has become simpler and more efficient. Cube aims to provide developers with a powerful tool capable of generating various in-game experiences. Whether it's 3D objects, scene design, character modeling, or programming scripts, Cube...

Hangzhou-based tech company, Qunhe Technology, has again garnered industry attention for its open-sourced spatial understanding model, SpatialLM, which was acknowledged by Google in a recent research paper. This model's innovation lies in its ability to enable robots to understand the geometrical relationships of the physical world through ordinary videos, marking a significant breakthrough in robot training. SpatialLM's core function is to convert videos captured by a phone into three-dimensional spatial layout information. Users simply need to record their home layout using their phone, and SpatialLM will...

Tencent HunYuan recently announced the launch of five new open-source 3D generative models. Built upon Hunyuan3D-2.0, these models boast faster generation speeds, richer details, and more realistic material expression.

It is now fully open to C-end users. Among these new models, the Turbo series maintains high precision and quality while optimizing the geometric generation model...

A research team from Nanyang Technological University has garnered significant attention for their groundbreaking technology, GaussianCity, for generating ultra-large-scale 3D city models. This newly developed framework boasts an impressive 60x speed improvement over traditional methods and overcomes limitations in scale, enabling boundless 3D city generation. This achievement has been accepted by CVPR 2025 (a top-tier conference on computer vision and pattern recognition), marking a significant breakthrough in virtual reality, autonomous driving, and digital twin applications. GaussianCity...

On February 14, 2025, Kunlun Wei Group officially launched the Matrix-Zero world model, marking a significant step for China in the field of spatial intelligence. Matrix-Zero includes two sub-models: a large model for 3D scene generation and a large model for interactive video generation, aiming to reshape digital content creation patterns through AI technology and promote innovation in industries such as film production, game development, and embodied intelligence.

Today, Tencent announced the launch of the Hongyuan 3D AI Creation Engine, designed to quickly generate high-quality 3D models through prompts or images. This creation engine integrates a 3D feature matrix, editing tools, generation workflows, and a rich library of creative materials, providing great convenience for designers and creators. Users only need to enter simple prompts, such as 'round brown long sofa' or 'owl, big eyes, dark brown,' to easily generate corresponding 3D models and choose different styles for download, supporting mainstream 3D formats.

Recently, Yingmou Technology announced the completion of a Series A financing round of several million dollars, attracting widespread attention in the industry. This financing was jointly led by Meituan Longzhu and ByteDance, with existing shareholders Sequoia China Seed Fund and Qiji Chuangtan also participating actively, while Guangsou Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor. This infusion of funds will provide strong support for Yingmou Technology in the research and commercialization of 3D large models. Founded in 2020 by a group of young people with an average age of only 24, the team members include Wu Di and Zhang Qixuan.
