Stable Diffusion Stability.ai Update: Introducing Stable Fast 3D - Rapid 3D Asset Generation from Single Images

Read Full Article

Key Takeaways:
  • Stable Fast 3D generates high-quality 3D assets from a single image in just 0.5 seconds.
  • Built on TripoSR, Stable Fast 3D includes significant architectural improvements and enhanced capabilities.
  • Applications include game and virtual reality development, retail, architecture, and design.
  • Available on Hugging Face under Stability AI Community License.
  • Accessible via Stability AI API and Stable Assistant chatbot with features for sharing and interacting with 3D creations in AR.

We are excited to introduce Stable Fast 3D, Stability AI's latest breakthrough in 3D asset generation technology. This innovative model transforms a single input image into a detailed 3D asset in just 0.5 seconds, setting a new standard for speed and quality in the field of 3D reconstruction.

How It Works
Users start by uploading a single image of an object. Stable Fast 3D then rapidly generates a complete 3D asset, including:
  • UV unwrapped mesh
  • Material parameters
  • Albedo colors with reduced illumination bake-in
  • Optional quad or triangle remeshing (adding only 100-200ms to processing time)

Here is a video describing how the model works and the improvements vs previous models.

Stable Fast 3D's unprecedented speed and quality make it an invaluable tool for rapid prototyping in 3D work, catering to enterprises and indie developers in gaming and virtual reality, as well retail, architecture, and design.

Use Cases
Stable Fast 3D has several use cases in gaming and movie production:
  • Fast inference time during pre-production
  • Static assets for games (Background objects, clutter, furniture)
  • 3D models for E-commerce
  • Fast model creation for AR/VR

Speed Meets Quality
Stable Fast 3D outperforms competitors with unmatched speed (0.5 seconds per 3D asset generation on a GPU with 7GB VRAM) and high-quality UV unwrapped mesh and material parameters. Compared to the previous SV3D model, it offers dramatically reduced inference times (0.5 seconds vs 10 minutes) while maintaining high-quality output.

Research and Development
Stable Fast 3D builds upon our previous work with TripoSR, but features a completely retrained model with significant architectural changes. These improvements allow for explicit mesh generation and incorporate novel techniques for fast textured mesh creation.

A technical report on Stable Fast 3D is available here and highlights how we achieve fast inference speeds with reduced baked illumination and material parameters.

Availability
Stable Fast 3D model code is available on Github and model weights and demo space on Hugging Face. It is released under Stability AI Community License which allows non-commercial use and commercial use for individuals or organizations with up to $1M in annual revenue. Above this threshold, contact us for Enterprise Licenses. The model is also accessible via our API and on Stable Assistant.

The Project page is available here.
