📜 News

🚀 [2024/6/8] We release our inference pipeline of Make-it-Real, including material matching and generation of albedo-only 3D objects.

🚀 [2024/6/8] Material library annotations generated by GPT-4V and data engine are released!

🚀 [2024/4/26] The paper and project page are released!

💡 Highlights

• 🔥 We first demonstrate that GPT-4V can effectively recognize and describe materials, allowing our model to precisely identifies and aligns materials with the corresponding components of 3D objects.
• 🔥 We construct a Material Library containing thousands of materials with highly detailed descriptions readily for MLLMs to look up and assign.
• 🔥 An effective pipeline for texture segmentation, material identification and matching, enabling the high-quality application of materials to 3D assets.

👨‍💻 Todo

• Evaluation for Existed and Model-Generated Assets (both code & test assets)
• More Interactive Demos (huggingface, jupyter)
• Make-it-Real Pipeline Inference Code
• Highly detailed Material Library annotations (generated by GPT-4V)
• Paper and Web Demos

💾 Installation

Prepare basic modules for deep learning 3d modeling tool(kaolin), rendering engine(blender), and segmentation model. See details in INSTALL.md.

📦 Data Preparation

1. Annotations: in data/material_lib/annotations folder, include:
   • Highly-detailed descriptions by GPT-4V: offering thorough descriptions of the material’s visual characteristics and rich semantic information.
   • Category-tree: Divided into a hierarchical structure with coarse and fine granularity, it includes over 80 subcategories.
2. PBR Maps: You can download the complete PBR data collection at Huggingface, or download the data used in our project at OpenXLab (Recommended). (If you have any questions, please refer to issue#5)
3. Material Images(optinal): You can download the material images file here, to check and visualize the material appearance.

⚡ Quick Start

Inference

python main.py --obj_dir <object_dir> --exp_name <unique_exp_name> --api_key <your_own_gpt4_api_key>

• To ensure proper network connectivity for GPT-4V, add proxy environment settings in main.py (optional). Also, please verify the reachability of your API host.
• Result visualization (blender engine) is located in the output/refine_output dir. You can compare the result with that in output/ori_output.

Annotation Engine

cd scripts/gpt_anno
python gpt4_query_mat.py

Note: Besides functinoning as annotation engine, you can also use this code (gpt4_query_mat.py) to test the GPT-4V connection simply.

❤️ Acknowledgments

• MatSynth: a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) materials dataset, which offers extensive high-resolusion tilable pbr maps to look up.
• TEXTure: Wonderful text-guided texture generation model, and the codebase we built upon.
• SoM: Draw visual cues on images to facilate GPT-4V query better.
• Material Palette: Excellent exploration of material extraction and generation, offers good insights and comparable setting.
