Stable-Dreamfusion
Text-to-3D & Image-to-3D & Mesh Exportation with NeRF + Diffusion
A pytorch implementation of the text-to-3D model Dreamfusion, powered by the Stable Diffusion text-to-2D model. This project is a work-in-progress and contains lots of differences from the paper. The current generation quality cannot match the results from the original paper, and many prompts still fail badly! Since the Imagen model is not publicly available, we use Stable Diffusion to replace it (implementation from diffusers). Different from Imagen, Stable-Diffusion is a latent diffusion model, which diffuses in a latent space instead of the original image space. Therefore, we need the loss to propagate back from the VAE's encoder part too, which introduces extra time costs in training. We use the multi-resolution grid encoder to implement the NeRF backbone (implementation from torch-ngp), which enables much faster rendering. -

VQGAN-CLIP web app
Local image generation using VQGAN-CLIP or CLIP guided diffusion
VQGAN-CLIP has been in vogue for generating art using deep learning. Searching the r/deepdream subreddit for VQGAN-CLIP yields quite a number of results. Basically, VQGAN can generate pretty high-fidelity images, while CLIP can produce relevant captions for images. Combined, VQGAN-CLIP can take prompts from human input, and iterate to generate images that fit the prompts. Thanks to the generosity of creators sharing notebooks on Google Colab, the VQGAN-CLIP technique has seen widespread circulation. However, for regular usage across multiple sessions, I prefer a local setup that can be started up rapidly. Thus, this simple Streamlit app for generating VQGAN-CLIP images on a local environment. Be advised that you need a beefy GPU with lots of VRAM to generate images large enough to be interesting. (Hello Quadro owners!). -
