Redefining 3D Modeling with Imersian’s AI-Powered Model Generation
The world of 3D modeling has evolved significantly, offering diverse techniques and technologies to cater to the diverse needs of a multitude of industries. We found what works best for us at Imersian, and now we’re here to show you how it can work best for you.
The Role of 3D Models
3D models play a crucial role across many industries. In design and engineering, they allow professionals to visualize, refine, and troubleshoot concepts, promoting efficiency and innovation. Architects use 3D models for better client communication, project planning, and coordination in construction.
Manufacturing benefits from 3D models, expediting prototyping and enabling advanced techniques like 3D printing. In healthcare, they facilitate surgical planning and medical education, leading to improved outcomes.
In addition to these, for many other industries like education, marketing and advertising, real estate, archeology, gaming and entertainment, the widespread adoption of 3D models has transformed industries and led to boosting efficiency, cost savings, and fostering a higher level of creativity and innovation.
In this article, we explore, compare and contrast four primary methods of 3D model creation: manual modeling. photogrammetry, scanning, and AI-generated modeling.
Manual Modeling
Manual modeling involves creating a 3D model using specialized 3D modeling software. Artists and designers use tools to create and manipulate vertices, edges and faces to build the desired object.
Precision & Artistic Control
Skilled modelers have a high degree of control over the details and nuances of the model. They can create any kind of object or scene, regardless of its real-world existence.
Time-Consuming & Skill Dependent
However, it can be time-intensive, especially for complex and detailed models and it requires a high level of skill and expertise, which takes time to develop.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry involves capturing multiple 2D images of an object or scene from various angles and then using software to reconstruct a 3D model based on the spatial information in the images.
Realistic & Efficient
This technique requires not much else than a camera can capture real-world objects and environments with high fidelity and can be faster than manual modeling for certain types of objects.
Limited to Real-World Objects
Since this technique is primarily used for replicating existing objects or environments, it limits models to already existing real-world objects.
Quality Dependent on Input Images
The quality of the resulting model depends heavily on the quality of the input images.
3D Scanning
Scanning involves using specialized hardware (like laser scanners) to capture the shape and details of an object in the real world, creating a point cloud or mesh that can be used as a 3D model.
Accuracy & Speed
Scanning can quickly and accurately capture intricate details and precise measurements of real-world objects. Depending on the type of scanner, this can be faster than manual modeling for complex objects.
Expensive Equipment & Limited to Physical Objects
However, high-quality scanners can be costly, and this works best for objects that can be physically scanned so again, it is quite limiting.
AI Modeling
AI modeling involves the use of artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning techniques to automatically generate 3D models based on input data or parameters.
Speed & Automation
AI models can generate 3D content quickly and with minimal human intervention and can be applied to a wide range of objects and environments.
Learning & Adaptation
Through their ability to learn and adapt, AI models can be trained to improve over time.
Data Dependent
The main disadvantage is that this technique is data dependent. This means that it requires a large dataset for training and may not perform well on completely novel or unique objects.
Comparing Techniques
AI Modeling with Imersian
At Imersian, we are redefining 3D modeling by employing an innovative AI pipeline to bring furniture and home decor items to life. With just a few pictures of a furniture or decor piece (even one image would work), our AI can generate a highly accurate 3D model, capturing geometry, textures, and mapping effortlessly. This breakthrough not only saves time but also ensures the resulting models are true to reality.
