TY - JOUR TI - CLAY: A Controllable Large-scale Generative Model for Creating High-quality 3D Assets PY - 2024 DA - 2024/07// JO - ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 AB - CLAY is a 1.5 billion parameter generative model designed for native 3D asset creation with multimodal conditioning, presented at SIGGRAPH 2024 where it received a best paper honourable mention. Unlike 2D-to-3D lifting approaches, CLAY operates directly in 3D space and accepts conditioning from multiple input modalities. The model is open-sourced, making large-scale 3D generation practically accessible for teaching labs. It represents the capability milestone against which game-art and 3D animation programs are now calibrating their curriculum treatment of AI asset generation.
