GenesisTex: Adapting Image Denoising Diffusion to Texture Space
Authors: Chenjian Gao, Boyan Jiang, Xinghui Li, Yingpeng Zhang, Qian Yu

We present GenesisTex a novel method for synthesizing textures for 3D geometries from text descriptions. GenesisTex adapts the pretrained image diffusion model to texture space by texture space sampling. Specifically we maintain a latent texture map for each viewpoint which is updated with predicted noise on the rendering of the corresponding viewpoint. The sampled latent texture maps are then decoded into a final texture map. During the sampling process we focus on both global and local consistency across multiple viewpoints: global consistency is achieved through the integration of style consistency mechanisms within the noise prediction network and low-level consistency is achieved by dynamically aligning latent textures. Finally we apply reference-based inpainting and img2img on denser views for texture refinement. Our approach overcomes the limitations of slow optimization in distillation-based methods and instability in inpainting-based methods. Experiments on meshes from various sources demonstrate that our method surpasses the baseline methods quantitatively and qualitatively.
