Tneration models can create high-quality images from input prompts. However, they struggle to support the consistent generation of identity-preserving requirements for storytelling.
Our approach 1Prompt1Story concatenates all prompts into a single input for T2I diffusion models, initially preserving character identities.
The Chinese AI lab DeepSeek recently released their new reasoning model R1, which is supposedly (a) better than the current best reasoning models (OpenAI’s o1- series), and (b) was trained on a GPU cluster a fraction the size of any of the big western AI labs.
DeepSeek uses a reinforcement learning approach, not a fine-tuning approach. There’s no need to generate a huge body of chain-of-thought data ahead of time, and there’s no need to run an expensive answer-checking model. Instead, the model generates its own chains-of-thought as it goes.
The secret behind their success? A bold move to train their models using FP8 (8-bit floating-point precision) instead of the standard FP32 (32-bit floating-point precision). … By using a clever system that applies high precision only when absolutely necessary, they achieved incredible efficiency without losing accuracy. … The impressive part? These multi-token predictions are about 85–90% accurate, meaning DeepSeek R1 can deliver high-quality answers at double the speed of its competitors.
a novel method for generating hyper-quality 4K textured mesh under only 30 seconds, providing 3D assets ready for commercial applications such as games, movies, and VR/AR.
Hunyuan3D 2.0, an advanced large-scale 3D synthesis system for generating high-resolution textured 3D assets. This system includes two foundation components: a large-scale shape generation model – Hunyuan3D-DiT, and a large-scale texture synthesis model – Hunyuan3D-Paint.
The shape generative model, built on a scalable flow-based diffusion transformer, aims to create geometry that properly aligns with a given condition image, laying a solid foundation for downstream applications. The texture synthesis model, benefiting from strong geometric and diffusion priors, produces high-resolution and vibrant texture maps for either generated or hand-crafted meshes. Furthermore, we build Hunyuan3D-Studio – a versatile, user-friendly production platform that simplifies the re-creation process of 3D assets.
It allows both professional and amateur users to manipulate or even animate their meshes efficiently. We systematically evaluate our models, showing that Hunyuan3D 2.0 outperforms previous state-of-the-art models, including the open-source models and closed-source models in geometry details, condition alignment, texture quality, and e.t.c.
Depth of field is the range within which focusing is resolved in a photo.
Aperture has a huge affect on to the depth of field.
Changing the f-stops (f/#) of a lens will change aperture and as such the DOF.
f-stops are a just certain number which is telling you the size of the aperture. That’s how f-stop is related to aperture (and DOF).
If you increase f-stops, it will increase DOF, the area in focus (and decrease the aperture). On the other hand, decreasing the f-stop it will decrease DOF (and increase the aperture).
The red cone in the figure is an angular representation of the resolution of the system. Versus the dotted lines, which indicate the aperture coverage. Where the lines of the two cones intersect defines the total range of the depth of field.
This image explains why the longer the depth of field, the greater the range of clarity.
An exposure stop is a unit measurement of Exposure as such it provides a universal linear scale to measure the increase and decrease in light, exposed to the image sensor, due to changes in shutter speed, iso and f-stop.
+-1 stop is a doubling or halving of the amount of light let in when taking a photo
1 EV (exposure value) is just another way to say one stop of exposure change.
Same applies to shutter speed, iso and aperture.
Doubling or halving your shutter speed produces an increase or decrease of 1 stop of exposure.
Doubling or halving your iso speed produces an increase or decrease of 1 stop of exposure.
