The Google research team has released a groundbreaking technology called Alchemist, allowing users to precisely edit material properties of objects in images, such as color, gloss, and transparency, without the need for professional software or skills. The core of the technology is a 'Text-to-Image' generation model that learns to change specified material properties while keeping the shape and lighting unchanged by fine-tuning and creating synthetic datasets (including 3D models, various materials, camera angles, and lighting conditions). Experiments show that this technology improves the photorealism of images.
