Farm3D

Farm3D is an AI tool developed by researchers at the University of Oxford that utilizes a novel method for single-view 3D reconstruction and controllable 3D synthesis of articulated animals. The tool uses an image generator, called Stable Diffusion, to produce training data for a reconstruction network. It can reconstruct the shape of various animal categories, even with fine details like legs and ears, without the need for real images. The generated 3D assets can be controlled and manipulated, allowing for adjustments in lighting, texture swapping between models, and even animation. The tool is capable of generating controllable 3D assets from both real images and images synthesized using Stable Diffusion. Its applications include computer graphics, virtual reality, animation, and research in 3D animal reconstruction.
