Neuralangelo, an AI model with many breakthroughs, is capable of converting 2D videos into detailed 3D structures. The technology allows to reproduce detailed 3D models even on phones and used in gaming, architecture and virtual reality projects.
Nvidia, the famous Artificial Intelligence company and Chipmaker, has launched the latest AI engine in its AI modeling portfolio. Neuralangelo, an AI model with many breakthroughs, is capable of converting 2D videos into detailed 3D structures . By using neural networks for 3D reconstruction, Neuralangelo is able to create vivid virtual replicas of buildings, sculptures and other real-life objects.
The name Neuralangelo is reminiscent of Michelangelo, the world’s most famous sculptor and painter of the Renaissance. With masterpieces like the statue of David and the ceiling painting of the Cathedral of Sixtin, Michelangelo’s artistic legacy inspired this cutting-edge AI model.
In an impressive demo version, Neuralangelo shows off its ability to recreate iconic objects like Michelangelo’s David, as well as ordinary objects like a truck. The rendering technique used by Neuralangelo helps to create 3D structures from 2D videos, similar to the artistic abilities of the person named for this model.
As reported by Creative Bloq, the products created by Neuralangelo can be applied in a variety of projects in the business and gaming industries. Thanks to Nvidia’s latest AI model, boring videos on your iPhone can now be turned into immersive gaming worlds. Artificial intelligence will measure the size of the object before rendering a 3D version for visualization.
Nvidia says Neuralangelo was developed from Instant NeRF, an earlier AI technology that allowed artists and designers to recreate things in 3D. It is also capable of capturing even the smallest details of an object before releasing the 3D version.
What’s amazing about Neuralangelo is how it meticulously collects data, including color variation and textures of objects. Even the most difficult parts of the body shape in human sculpting are discovered in this reconstruction process.
Nvidia emphasizes that this AI model is “significantly superior to previous methods”, and that it is useful for smartphone users as well. The company’s Research team says that 3D scenes can be created with Neuralangelo in just a few hours. However, it depends on the complexity of the object and the input video such as: The size and detail of the object, as well as the processing power of the AI system used.
Some are concerned about whether Nvidia’s AI will replace actual artists. According to Ming-Yu Liu, senior research director at Nvidia, Neuralangelo only eases the work of industry creators by allowing them to easily recreate an object or world into a technical environment. number.
“This tool will eventually allow developers to import detailed objects – whether small sculptures or giant buildings – into virtual environments for video games or,” Liu said in a statement to the press. industrial digital copies”.
The Nvidia Research Team plans to present Neuralangelo from June 8 to 22 in Vancouver at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR).
Nvidia realizes the unlimited possibilities of Neuralangelo, not just in video games. It can also bring significant improvements in the field of architecture, robotics and virtual reality related projects. Recently, Nvidia has officially joined the trillion-dollar club including: Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon thanks to the AI craze.
