In a pioneering move, Stability AI has launched Stable 3D, an AI-powered app geared towards simplifying the process of 3D model creation. Stable 3D is designed to cater to graphic designers, digital artists, and game developers, enabling them to craft "draft-quality" 3D models swiftly and efficiently.
Stable 3D stands out with its user-friendly interface, allowing users to either describe the desired 3D model in natural language or upload an existing image for conversion into a 3D model. The tool outputs models in the ".obj" file format, which is compatible with most standard 3D modeling tools, facilitating further editing and manipulation.
Despite the promising outlook, concerns around the undisclosed training data used for Stable 3D loom large, especially given Stability AI's past entanglements with IP issues. The startup's financial challenges further cast a shadow over its ambitious venture into the competitive realm of AI-powered 3D model generation.
Stable 3D enters a bustling market with established players like Autodesk and budding startups like Kaedim. Even tech giants like Meta and OpenAI have dabbled in similar tech ventures, indicating a burgeoning interest in the intersection of AI and 3D modeling.
With a fresh infusion of $25 million funding, Stability AI is poised to carve a niche in this domain, provided it navigates the IP concerns adeptly. The launch of Stable 3D not only diversifies Stability AI's portfolio but also signals a promising direction for the broader 3D content creation landscape.
