Tencent Hunyuan3D – an advanced large-scale 3D synthesis system for generating high-resolution textured 3D assets
https://github.com/tencent/Hunyuan3D-2
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. -

How does Stable Diffusion work?
https://stable-diffusion-art.com/how-stable-diffusion-work/
Stable Diffusion is a latent diffusion model that generates AI images from text. Instead of operating in the high-dimensional image space, it first compresses the image into the latent space.
Stable Diffusion belongs to a class of deep learning models called diffusion models. They are generative models, meaning they are designed to generate new data similar to what they have seen in training. In the case of Stable Diffusion, the data are images.
Why is it called the diffusion model? Because its math looks very much like diffusion in physics. Let’s go through the idea.

Guide to Prompt Engineering
The 10 most powerful techniques:
1. Communicate the Why
2. Explain the context (strategy, data)
3. Clearly state your objectives
4. Specify the key results (desired outcomes)
5. Provide an example or template
6. Define roles and use the thinking hats
7. Set constraints and limitations
8. Provide step-by-step instructions (CoT)
9. Ask to reverse-engineer the result to get a prompt
10. Use markdown or XML to clearly separate sections (e.g., examples)
Top 10 high-ROI use cases for PMs:
1. Get new product ideas
2. Identify hidden assumptions
3. Plan the right experiments
4. Summarize a customer interview
5. Summarize a meeting
6. Social listening (sentiment analysis)
7. Write user stories
8. Generate SQL queries for data analysis
9. Get help with PRD and other templates
10. Analyze your competitorsQuick prompting scheme:
1- pass an image to JoyCaption

2- tune the caption with ChatGPT as suggested by Pixaroma:
Craft detailed prompts for Al (image/video) generation, avoiding quotation marks. When I provide a description or image, translate it into a prompt that captures a cinematic, movie-like quality, focusing on elements like scene, style, mood, lighting, and specific visual details. Ensure that the prompt evokes a rich, immersive atmosphere, emphasizing textures, depth, and realism. Always incorporate (static/slow) camera or cinematic movement to enhance the feeling of fluidity and visual storytelling. Keep the wording precise yet descriptive, directly usable, and designed to achieve a high-quality, film-inspired result.

1. Use the 80/20 principle to learn faster
Prompt: “I want to learn about [insert topic]. Identify and share the most important 20% of learnings from this topic that will help me understand 80% of it.”
2. Learn and develop any new skill
Prompt: “I want to learn/get better at [insert desired skill]. I am a complete beginner. Create a 30-day learning plan that will help a beginner like me learn and improve this skill.”
3. Summarize long documents and articles
Prompt: “Summarize the text below and give me a list of bullet points with key insights and the most important facts.” [Insert text]
4. Train ChatGPT to generate prompts for you
Prompt: “You are an AI designed to help [insert profession]. Generate a list of the 10 best prompts for yourself. The prompts should be about [insert topic].”
5. Master any new skill
Prompt: “I have 3 free days a week and 2 months. Design a crash study plan to master [insert desired skill].”
6. Simplify complex information
Prompt: “Break down [insert topic] into smaller, easier-to-understand parts. Use analogies and real-life examples to simplify the concept and make it more relatable.”
