Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes that the true revolution of 3D AIGC (AI-Generated Content) has yet to begin, despite significant advancements in the technology [4][6]. Group 1: Current State of 3D AIGC - The current 3D AIGC technology has made notable progress, but it is still in its early stages compared to more mature text and image generation technologies [9][22]. - The development of 3D generation is rapidly evolving, with the industry only beginning to explore its potential in 2024 [22][20]. - The existing technology can generate static 3D models but faces challenges in integrating into professional-grade CG pipelines [9][12]. Group 2: Challenges in 3D Generation - There are significant challenges in data scarcity and utilization efficiency, as acquiring 3D data is much more difficult than images [9][32]. - The current 3D generation capabilities are limited, with a need for improvement in the efficiency and quality of generated assets [12][43]. - The industry must overcome hurdles related to the integration of AI into existing workflows, particularly in automating processes like topology and UV mapping [24][30]. Group 3: Technological Evolution and Future Directions - The evolution of technology is moving towards a combination of autoregressive models and diffusion models, which may enhance controllability and memory capabilities in 3D generation [9][36]. - The goal is to create a comprehensive 3D world model that can understand and generate complex scenes, requiring advancements in physical consistency modeling and spatial semantic coherence [19][40]. - By 2025, the aim is to achieve object-level generation that approaches the quality of manual modeling, with initial forms of scene generation [20][19]. Group 4: Open Source and Community Engagement - The open-source approach is seen as a critical catalyst for accelerating technological development and fostering a thriving ecosystem in the 3D AIGC space [9][28]. - Continuous model iteration and community feedback are essential for maintaining a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving field [33][34]. - The company plans to release more models and datasets to lower industry barriers and promote widespread adoption [19][20]. Group 5: Impact on Professionals and Industry - AI is positioned as a powerful productivity tool for 3D designers rather than a replacement, enabling faster realization of creative ideas [47][46]. - The integration of AI tools will likely transform the role of 3D designers into hybrid professionals who can effectively leverage AI alongside their creative skills [47][46]. - The potential for AI to democratize 3D content creation is acknowledged, but it is emphasized that professional expertise will still be valuable in high-stakes environments [26][47].
