Renowned for its technological prowess, Nvidia has arrived at the crossroads of innovation and entrenched interests. As the computer chip maker moves solidly into artificial intelligence, releasing a new application that could redefine 3D modeling, it concurrently faces geopolitical hurdles that threaten its dominance in hardware.
Nvidia joined forces with 3D software publisher Masterpiece Studio to release Masterpiece X, aiming to revolutionize the 3D modeling field by making it as easy as creating a two-dimensional image with MidJourney or Stable Diffusion.
“For years, we’ve worked hard to create cutting-edge 3D tools that are intuitive but also tools that would enable and empower more and more people to start creating 3D.” Masterpiece Studio said in an official announcement, “Generative AI enables entirely new possibilities.”
The studio says its solution makes it possible to create 3D models with no local hardware or software required, as everything happens in the cloud. “All you need is a keyboard, a browser, a little imagination, and just a few words,” they wrote.
As a quick experiment, Decrypt took Masterpiece X for a spin. Our efforts to digitally sculpt our AI mascot Gen were… not good. The envisioned “child robot” bore more resemblance to a chubby pigeon, while the render of an elegant teacher avatar seemed more like a tipsy vagabond.
