Abstract: Generation of three-dimensional (3D) object models may be challenging for users without a sufficient skill set for content creation and may also be resource intensive. One or more style transfer networks may be used for part-aware style transformation of both geometric features and textural components of a source asset to a target asset. The source asset may be segmented into particular parts and then ellipsoid approximations may be warped according to correspondence of the particular parts to the target assets. Moreover, a texture associated with the target asset may be used to warp or adjust a source texture, where the new texture can be applied to the warped parts.

Abstract: In various examples, a deep three-dimensional (3D) conditional generative model is implemented that can synthesize high resolution 3D shapes using simple guides—such as coarse voxels, point clouds, etc.—by marrying implicit and explicit 3D representations into a hybrid 3D representation. The present approach may directly optimize for the reconstructed surface, allowing for the synthesis of finer geometric details with fewer artifacts. The systems and methods described herein may use a deformable tetrahedral grid that encodes a discretized signed distance function (SDF) and a differentiable marching tetrahedral layer that converts the implicit SDF representation to an explicit surface mesh representation. This combination allows joint optimization of the surface geometry and topology as well as generation of the hierarchy of subdivisions using reconstruction and adversarial losses defined explicitly on the surface mesh.
