Tutorial Info

TRELLIS is currently the state of the art locally run-able open source image-to-3D very high quality asset generator. I have developed a 1-click installers and super advanced Gradio app for this model with so many amazing features. In this tutorial video I will show you how to step by step use this amazing AI tool and generate the very best very high-quality 3D assets locally. Moreover, you can also use this tool on RunPod and Massed Compute as well if you are GPU poor.

TRELLIS is a large 3D asset generation model. It takes in text or image prompts and generates high-quality 3D assets in various formats, such as Radiance Fields, 3D Gaussians, and meshes. The cornerstone of TRELLIS is a unified Structured LATent (SLAT) representation that allows decoding to different output formats and Rectified Flow Transformers tailored for SLAT as the powerful backbones. We provide large-scale pre-trained models with up to 2 billion parameters on a large 3D asset dataset of 500K diverse objects. TRELLIS significantly surpasses existing methods, including recent ones at similar scales, and showcases flexible output format selection and local 3D editing capabilities which were not offered by previous models.
