Welcome to the world of 3D modeling with Objaverse-XL. This repository is a treasure trove of over 10 million 3D objects, which can be utilized for training advanced models like Zero123-XL. In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to download and process this extensive dataset.

What is Objaverse-XL?

Objaverse-XL is an open dataset that dwarfs its predecessor, Objaverse 1.0, which consisted of only 800K objects. With its incredible scale and diversity, it allows researchers to train models that exhibit remarkable generalization abilities in 3D rendering and understanding. Think of it as upgrading from a small library to an entire university’s collection of 3D objects!

Steps to Download Objaverse-XL

• First, visit the Google Colab tutorial that provides a convenient platform for downloading the dataset.
• Ensure you have access to Polycam data by submitting a request via this form for academic researchers.
• Once you have the necessary permissions, execute the provided script in Google Colab to begin downloading.

Image to 3D and Text to 3D Transformation

With the foundation model Zero123-XL, you can seamlessly convert images to 3D using DreamFusion. Additionally, leveraging text-to-image models like SDXL allows you to generate 3D models directly from text descriptions. Imagine it as turning a flat paper drawing into a dynamic 3D sculpture!

Blender Rendering

If you wish to render your 3D models, scripts are available in the scripts/rendering directory. This will help you create stunning visual representations of the objects you’ve just downloaded.

Licensing Information

The entire dataset is under the ODC-By v1.0 license, while individual objects may have different licenses. Always verify the licensing terms for the specific objects you intend to use.

Troubleshooting

While downloading and processing the dataset, you may encounter some issues. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• Download Errors: If the download fails, refresh the Colab page and ensure you have a stable internet connection.
• File Size Issues: Ensure that your Google Drive has sufficient storage space to accommodate the dataset.
• Script Errors: Double-check the code for any typos or missed dependencies. Install any missing packages as required.
