Welcome to the world of 3D model generation! Today, we’re diving into an innovative model known as Stable Zero123. This powerful tool allows you to create stunning 3D representations from images or text descriptions. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional artist, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

What is Stable Zero123?

Stable Zero123 is a view-conditioned image generation model based on Zero123. With improved data rendering and model conditioning strategies, Stable Zero123 outperforms its predecessors. This means you can expect high-quality 3D outputs without the usual headaches.

Getting Started with Stable Zero123

Let’s discuss how to use Stable Zero123 to generate 3D models from images. Here’s a concise, user-friendly guide:

1. Install threestudio by following the installation instructions.
2. Download the Stable Zero123 checkpoint stable_zero123.ckpt into the load/zero123/ directory.
3. Take an image of your choice or generate one using your favorite AI image generator. For example, try a prompt like “A simple 3D render of a friendly dog.”
4. Use Stable Assistant to remove the background from your image.
5. Save the modified image to load/images/, preferably with _rgba.png as the suffix.
6. Run the following command to generate the 3D model:

python launch.py --config configs/stable-zero123.yaml --train --gpu 0 data.image_path=./load/images/hamburger_rgba.png

Understanding the Code through an Analogy

Imagine you are an architect designing a building. The image you provide is like a blueprint. Just as an architect uses specific tools to bring the design to life, the outlined command is a tool that invokes the Stable Zero123 model to interpret your blueprint and construct a virtual structure—in this case, a 3D model. Each step, from preparing the image to executing the command, ensures the final structure precisely matches your intended design.
