Abstract


SyncDreamer is able to directly generate multiview consistent images, which allows 3D reconstruction by NeuS or NeRF without SDS loss.

In this paper, we present a novel diffusion model called SyncDreamer that generates multiview-consistent images from a single-view image. Using pretrained large-scale 2D diffusion models, recent work Zero123 demonstrates the ability to generate plausible novel views from a single-view image of an object. However, maintaining consistency in geometry and colors for the generated images remains a challenge. To address this issue, we propose a synchronized multiview diffusion model that models the joint probability distribution of multiview images, enabling the generation of multiview-consistent images in a single reverse process. SyncDreamer synchronizes the intermediate states of all the generated images at every step of the reverse process through a 3D-aware feature attention mechanism that correlates the corresponding features across different views. Experiments show that SyncDreamer generates images with high consistency across different views, thus making it well-suited for various 3D generation tasks such as novel-view-synthesis, text-to-3D, and image-to-3D.

Text to image to 3D model



2D design to 3D model


SyncDreamer enables generating 3D models from 2D designs and hand drawings including skectches, Chinese ink paintings, oil paintings and so on.


Multiple instance generation


Given the same single-view image, SynDreame allows generating different instances using different random seeds.
