If 3DFY doesn’t get it right it the first time (this was my request- a three-pronged fork). It limits itself to a very narrow, and seemingly odd, range of objects – table lamps, sofas, tables, ottomans, cutlery and swords – but does them to such a high standard that it’s an attractive proposition for businesses that want 3D images of those particular objects. It’s up against tech giants OpenAI (developers of ChatGPT), Google and Nvidia (with 2023 revenue of almost $27 billion) who are all developing their own ways of doing it.īut while they’re chasing breadth, says Dahan – the ability to produce a 3D image of any object on earth, or beyond – 3DFY goes for depth. 3DFY will generate high-quality images from a single sentence of instruction.

It’ll come as no surprise that 3DFY, a small startup based in Haifa, isn’t alone in using AI to turn text into 3D images. The 3D image can be something that exists only in your imagination. So there’s no longer the need for an actual, existing object as a starting point. “We have developed a novel AI pipeline that can generate high quality 3D content, using text prompts,” says Eliran Dahan, the company’s CEO. 3DFY took 35 seconds to produce this image of a modern bedside lamp from a simple instruction. Creating the bedside lamp can take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the complexity.ģD artists today have to scan an existing object, using hundreds of photographs from all angles, or a 3D scanner. Demand for 3D images is growing exponentially – for gaming, online retail, virtual and augmented reality (like Apple’s new Vision Pro) and the Metaverse.īut until now it’s been an expensive and labor-intensive process. This is 3DFY, an Israeli startup, in action. “We traded off the quality for or the type of content that can be created.

So how does 3DFY achieve such high quality? “We are using fundamentally different technology,” says Dahan. Want to change colors, tweak the design or alter the shape? Give the AI another prompt and the job’s as good as done. Press the “generate” button and 35 seconds later you have your lamp.
