Autodesk has recently announced Project Bernini, an experimental generative AI model that can create functional 3D shapes from various inputs!
Designed to accelerate design workflows across industries, Project Bernini aims to generate practical and structurally sound 3D models for professional use in architecture, entertainment, manufacturing, and more. It includes 2D images, text descriptions, and even point clouds.
Autodesk trained the model on a massive dataset of ten million publicly available 3D objects, including CAD designs and organic shapes. They plan to use even larger datasets to enhance the model's accuracy further, though the specifics of these datasets remain undisclosed.
Project Bernini is in an early research phase and is not ready for widespread use. Autodesk is actively seeking collaborators to explore the potential of generative AI for design and manufacturing. While Project Bernini holds immense promise, its capabilities will truly flourish when trained on extensive, high-quality professional datasets. The Bernini model is specifically designed to facilitate efficient training and customization.
Imagine using Bernini to generate innovative building designs, inspiring a new wave of architectural creativity. In video games, it could craft captivating creatures and fantastical environments. For the automotive industry, Bernini could help envision groundbreaking new car lines.
