What it is
Unique3D generates textured 3D meshes from a single image. Its method derives four orthographic views from the input and progressively increases their resolution, then generates matching normal maps with a normal diffusion model. The project's ISOMER reconstruction algorithm combines color and geometric priors and can produce meshes with millions of faces. The project describes generation from a single-view image in 30 seconds and says a high-fidelity textured mesh from one orthogonal RGB image can be generated in under 30 seconds. Image-to-3D and AI texturing are listed capabilities, and GLB is the listed export format. The repository links to a ComfyUI implementation and provides instructions for an interactive local Gradio demo after model weights are downloaded. An online demo is free to try with a registration invitation code; it is described as slower but more stable than the Gradio demo. The Linux setup targets Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and CUDA 12.1, while Windows installation may require Visual Studio Build Tools.
