3D Paintbrush

Overview

The 3D Paintbrush technique represents an innovative approach to texture application in 3D modeling. This method leverages textual descriptions to automatically apply textures to specific semantic regions on a mesh surface. Unlike traditional methods, it operates directly on the mesh geometry to produce seamless texture maps that can be easily integrated into standard graphics rendering pipelines.

The system is designed to generate both localized texture maps for specified editing areas and corresponding textures tailored to those regions. To achieve this, we employ a multi-stage cascading diffusion model that provides detailed supervision for local editing operations. This approach enhances the detail level and resolution of texture areas through iterative refinement processes.

A key component of this technology is the Cascading Score Distillation (CSD) framework. CSD enables the systematic distillation of scores across multiple resolutions in a hierarchical manner, offering precise control over the granularity of supervision while maintaining global context awareness. This unique combination allows for highly customized and accurate texture application across various 3D shapes and semantic regions.

Target Users

The primary users of this technology are professionals who need to apply textures with precision to specific localized areas on a mesh. This includes:

– 3D artists and designers
– Game developers
