  • Publication number: 20250182389
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating 3D assets, such as for an extended reality (XR) experience. The system receives a plurality of textures associated with an object, each texture of the plurality of textures corresponding to a different view of the object and automatically generates an initial three-dimensional (3D) model of the object based on an initial alignment of the plurality of textures to respective portions of the 3D model. The system receives input that adjusts the initial alignment of the plurality of textures to the respective portions of the 3D model and combines the plurality of textures into a single texture based on the input, the single texture defining visual attributes of the object from multiple views. The system stores the 3D model in association with the single texture.

  • Publication number: 20250046018
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating a physical garment using a machine learning model. The methods and systems receive a plurality of parameters of an optimization problem, the plurality of parameters describing a fashion item, and form a prompt based on values of the plurality of parameters. The prompt is processed by a generative machine learning model to output an image comprising an artificial fashion item corresponding to the values of the plurality of parameters. An augmented reality experience is generated in which a real-world object is overlaid with a virtual object that depicts the artificial fashion item. Feedback associated with the augmented reality experience is used to condition fabrication of a real-world fashion item that resembles the artificial fashion item.
