This report presents a comprehensive framework for generating high-quality 3D
shapes and textures from diverse input prompts, including single images,
multi-view images, and text descriptions. The framework consists of 3D shape
generation and texture generation. (1). The 3D shape generation pipeline
employs a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to encode implicit 3D geometries into a
latent space and a diffusion network to generate latents conditioned on input
prompts, with modifications to enhance model capacity. An alternative
Artist-Created Mesh (AM) generation approach is also explored, yielding
promising results for simpler geometries. (2). Texture generation involves a
multi-stage process starting with frontal images generation followed by
multi-view images generation, RGB-to-PBR texture conversion, and
high-resolution multi-view texture refinement. A consistency scheduler is
plugged into every stage, to enforce pixel-wise consistency among multi-view
textures during inference, ensuring seamless integration.
  The pipeline demonstrates effective handling of diverse input formats,
leveraging advanced neural architectures and novel methodologies to produce
high-quality 3D content. This report details the system architecture,
experimental results, and potential future directions to improve and expand the
framework. The source code and pretrained weights are released at:
