AI is progressing fast, way too fast in my opinion. It’s becoming hard to keep up.

It’s only been 6 months since OpenAI released Dall-E2.

It's been less than 2 months since Stability AI released Stable Diffusion.

Just a few days ago, Meta announced a new AI tool that transforms text into video.

And now, Google has announced its new AI model that transforms text into 3D. It is called DreamFusion.

3D artists, be warned.

This technology could turn your world upside down, both in good and bad ways. Today, 3D models are still designed by hand, requiring hours of labor from the human artist using modeling software like Blender or ZBrush.

Text-to-3D generative models and AI tools will soon make it possible for even people without a lot of experience to make high-quality 3D art with just a simple text prompt.

It’s not all doom and gloom for professional artists, though. At least not yet.

Right now, the assets themselves have a low resolution and aren’t ready for commercial use.
