3DGEN: A GAN-based approach for generating novel 3D models from image data

The recent advances in text and image synthesis show a great promise for the future of generative models in creative fields. However, a less explored area is the one of 3D model generation, with a lot of potential applications to game design, video production, and physical product design. In our paper, we present 3DGEN, a model that leverages the recent work on both Neural Radiance Fields for object reconstruction and GAN-based image generation. We show that the proposed architecture can generate plausible meshes for objects of the same category as the training images and compare the resulting meshes with the state-of-the-art baselines, leading to visible uplifts in generation quality.
