WHY WE PICKED IT
OpenAI's open-source 3D generation model with comprehensive documentation and active community, representing state-of-the-art conditional 3D asset generation from text and images.
GETTING STARTED
Clone the Shap-E repository from GitHub. Follow installation instructions and set up dependencies. Download model weights and configure environment. For text-to-3D, enter detailed prompts describing 3D objects. For image-to-3D, upload reference images. Generate 3D models in desired format (mesh, point cloud, or NeRF). Review geometry and texture quality. Export in 3D formats. Free and open-source, suitable for research, prototyping, and educational use.
