3D generation

Also called text-to-3D, image-to-3D

What does “3D generation” mean?

3D generation: Creating three-dimensional objects or scenes from text, a single image, or several photos. Outputs may be meshes with textures usable in games and design tools, or newer representations such as NeRFs and Gaussian splats. Clean topology and accurate back sides remain common weaknesses.
