RODIN Diffusion by Microsoft

RODIN Diffusion is an advanced AI-driven generative model for sculpting highly detailed 3D digital avatars. Utilizing the mechanism of neural radiance fields, it leverages state-of-the-art diffusion techniques to enable the creation and manipulation of 3D avatars with uncanny realism and fidelity.

The tool generates 3D models that can be inspected from every angle, enhancing the efficiency of the 3D modeling process. This technology facilitates the generation of avatars directly from portraits, text prompts, or random noise — offering vast creativity flexibility for users, including the ability to edit aspects such as hairstyle, facial hair, accessories, outfit, and facial expressions in an intuitive, text-guided manner.

RODIN Diffusion can generate diverse avatars, including variations in gender, age, ethnicity, and facial expressions, among other attributes.

Developed by a team of researchers and engineers, the model’s creation is a notable achievement in the field of AI and 3D modeling, emphasizing its potential to innovate how digital avatars are created and used across various applications.
