Abstract

Text-to-3D generation has shown promising results, yet common challenges such as the Multi-face Janus problem and extended generation time for high-quality assets. In this paper, we address these issues by introducing a novel three-stage training pipeline called GradeADreamer. This pipeline is capable of producing high-quality assets with a total generation time of under 30 minutes using only a single RTX 3090 GPU. Our proposed method employs a Multi-view Diffusion Model, MVDream, to generate Gaussian Splats as a prior, followed by refining geometry and texture using StableDiffusion. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly mitigates the Multi-face Janus problem and achieves the highest average user preference ranking compared to previous state-of-the-art methods.

Qualitative Results

Our method can generate good quality assets with short amount of time, and less Multi-face Janus problem.

Quantitative Results

We conducted a user study to evaluate our text-to-3D model against other baseline models. The study involved 54 participants who were asked to rank 3D models generated from 15 different prompts in a non-cherry-picked and blinded setting.

Our method achieved the top average ranking from the user study, and the lowest 3D-FID score.

Moreover, the proposed method significantly reduce the Multi-face Janus problem while maintaining low generation time.
