Log in with your Gmail and select Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana).
Upload a photo — either from your laptop or a Google Street View screenshot.
Paste this example prompt: “Use the provided architectural photo as reference. Generate a high-fidelity 3D building model in the look of a 3D-printed architecture model.”
Wait a few seconds, and your 3D architecture model will be ready.
Pro tip: If you want more accuracy, upload two images — a street photo for the facade and an aerial view for the roof/top.
Blender is switching from OpenGL to Vulkan as its default graphics backend, starting significantly with Blender 4.5, to achieve better performance and prepare for future features like real-time ray tracing and global illumination. To enable this switch, go to Edit > Preferences > System and set the “Backend” option to “Vulkan,” then restart Blender. This change offers substantial benefits, including faster startup times, improved viewport responsiveness, and more efficient handling of complex scenes by better utilizing your CPU and GPU resources.
Why the Switch to Vulkan?
Modern Graphics API: Vulkan is a newer, lower-level, and more efficient API that provides developers with greater control over hardware, unlike the older, higher-level OpenGL.
Performance Boost: This change significantly improves performance in various areas, such as viewport rendering, material loading, and overall UI responsiveness, especially in complex scenes with many textures.
Better Resource Utilization: Vulkan distributes work more effectively across the CPU and reduces driver overhead, allowing Blender to make better use of your computer’s power.
Future-Proofing: The Vulkan backend paves the way for advanced features like real-time ray tracing and global illumination in future versions of Blender.
Given sparse-view videos, Diffuman4D (1) generates 4D-consistent multi-view videos conditioned on these inputs, and (2) reconstructs a high-fidelity 4DGS model of the human performance using both the input and the generated videos.
Truly Infinite Videos This isn’t a gimmick. You can generate incredibly long videos without frying your VRAM. Perfect for podcasts, presentations, or full-on virtual influencers.
More Than Just Lips This is the best part. It doesn’t just sync the mouth; it generates realistic head movements, body posture, and facial expressions that match the audio’s emotion. It makes characters feel alive.
Keeps Everything Consistent It preserves the character’s identity, the background, and even camera movements from your original video, so everything looks seamless.
Completely Open Source & Ready for Business The code, the weights, and the paper are all out there for you to use. Best of all, it’s released under an Apache 2.0 license, which means you are free to use what you create for commercial projects!
