Rodin - 3D model generation

Join us to witness one of the most advanced 3D model generation AI technologies ever - Rodin, a controllable large-scale generative model for creating high-quality 3D assets!

With just a few words or a picture, Rodin transforms your imagination into realistic CG-friendly 3D models with photorealistic material rendering! This project implements Rodin's generative function calls based on API requests, so you can easily transform your imagination into Unity-supported mesh and material assets, preview them in real-time, and use them as a basis to start your great creations!

Rodin add-on for Maya

Introduction

The Rodin add-on for Maya is a powerful integration tool that supports most of the functions available on Rodin's webpage, allowing users to access image-based generation capabilities directly within the Maya environment. It enables users to replace target images, adjust generation settings, utilize ControlNet with selected objects, and choose between automatic and manual generation modes—all while maintaining a seamless workflow between Maya and the Rodin web interface through the convenient floating window functionality.

Overview

The Rodin add-on for Maya integrates Rodin's powerful AI-based 3D generation capabilities directly into your Maya workflow. This integration consists of two main components:

Installation

Requirements

Maya 2022 - 2026.

Step-by-step Instruction

1. Unzip the .zip file to any where you like.
2. Launch Maya and navigate to 'Windows' -> 'Settings/Preferences' -> 'Plugin-in Manager'.
3. Click Browse at the bottom of the Plug-in Manager window, locate the 'RodinBridge_Maya' folder and select the 'Bridge.py' file and Open.
4. Enable RodinBridge_Maya by clicking its Loaded and Auto load boxes.

Basic Usage

The Rodin add-on integrates most Rodin's generation functions directly in Maya. Operation requires interaction in both Maya and the Rodin webpage.

Single Image Generation

1. Click 'replace' to add/replace image you want you generate the 3D asset with.
2. Choose 'None' in ControlNet options and choose 'One Click' for the fastest generation experience. the rest of the settings are identical to those on Rodin webpage.
3. Once they are adjusted, click 'Submit' to begin the process.

The Rodin webpage will automatically appear if not already open. On the Rodin webpage, activate the floating window using the toggle switch.

You can monitor the generation process in the floating window. The generated asset will be automatically imported into Maya.

You can also import featured assets or generated assets by hovering on the target asset and press the emerged 'Export' button

Advanced Functions:

ControlNet:

To enable ControlNet, select an object in Maya and choose your desired ControlNet mode. You can then adjust ControlNet settings as needed. (identical to Rodin webpage settings)

Multiview Mode:

You can use 'Load Image' to add more images as the input for generation. Rodin will automatically process them as the input for multi-view generation.

Generation Mode:

You can choose between One Click mode and Manual mode.

One Click: Process runs without step-by-step guidance.

Manual: Requires step-by-step operation in the floating window. The process is identical to that on Rodin webpage.
