Creating 3D scenes usually takes a lot of time and effort. Artists have to build basic models as stand-ins and then replace them with detailed versions later. This process slows down creativity and can become repetitive.
NVIDIA now offers AI Blueprints to help speed up 3D prototyping for everyone. Instead of building placeholder 3D objects by hand, artists can type a simple description of their scene. The NVIDIA AI Blueprint for 3D object generation will suggest and make up to 20 different 3D objects using generative AI. With a built-in large language model and the Llama 3.1 8B NVIDIA NIM microservice, idea generation is fast and effortless, even for beginners.
To make creative choices easier, tools like NVIDIA SANA quickly turn your prompts into high quality preview images. You can review these previews, regenerate objects you do not like, edit descriptions for better results, or delete what you will not use. When ready, each preview image easily converts into a usable 3D model with the help of the Microsoft TRELLIS NVIDIA NIM microservice. This step is also about 20 percent faster than traditional workflows.
Once made, 3D objects can be exported straight into Blender, a popular free 3D software. You can keep developing your scene in Blender or move your models to other design tools. The entire workflow has been set up so you do not need special technical skills or extra setup. Everything you need is packaged to run smoothly on NVIDIA GeForce RTX or RTX PRO graphics cards.
Microsoft TRELLIS is a powerful model for making detailed 3D objects from text or image prompts. It creates models with realistic shapes and textures, making it useful for game designers, architects and digital artists. The TRELLIS NIM microservice connects directly with NVIDIA AI Blueprints and works faster thanks to upgrades based on PyTorch. Artists see big time savings when generating lots of assets, especially on RTX 50 Series or 40 Series GPUs with at least 16GB memory.
Getting started is simple. Open the Blueprint, enter your scene idea, and watch the previews appear. Swap or edit preview objects as needed, then choose to convert some or all to 3D models. With one click, export everything to Blender.
You can find detailed guides and files on NVIDIA Build and GitHub if you want to try it out. There are many other AI Blueprints to explore, whether you want to generate 3D content, experiment with NIM microservices, or speed up your own creative workflow.
