• Abstract summary: We present CharacterGen, a framework developed to efficiently generate 3D characters. A transformer-based, generalizable sparse-view reconstruction model is the other core component of our approach. We have curated a dataset of anime characters, rendered in multiple poses and views, to train and evaluate our model.

• Abstract: In the field of digital content creation, generating high-quality 3D characters from single images is challenging, especially given the complexities of various body poses and the issues of self-occlusion and pose ambiguity. In this paper, we present CharacterGen, a framework developed to efficiently generate 3D characters. CharacterGen introduces a streamlined generation pipeline along with an image-conditioned multi-view diffusion model. This model effectively calibrates input poses to a canonical form while retaining key attributes of the input image, thereby addressing the challenges posed by diverse poses. A transformer-based, generalizable sparse-view reconstruction model is the other core component of our approach, facilitating the creation of detailed 3D models from multi-view images. We also adopt a texture-back-projection strategy to produce high-quality texture maps. Additionally, we have curated a dataset of anime characters, rendered in multiple poses and views, to train and evaluate our model. Our approach has been thoroughly evaluated through quantitative and qualitative experiments, showing its proficiency in generating 3D characters with high-quality shapes and textures, ready for downstream applications such as rigging and animation.

  3D-aware image synthesis aims to generate images of objects from multiple views by learning a 3D representation. Existing approaches lack geometry constraints, hence usually fail to generate multi-view consistent images. We propose Multi-View Consistent Generative Adrial Networks (MVCGAN) for high-quality 3D-aware image synthesis with geometry constraints.
