DimensionX: Turn Any Single Image into 3D and 4D Scenes with Advanced Video Diffusion

DimensionX is an innovative tool that lets you generate realistic 3D and 4D scenes from just a single image, using advanced video diffusion methods.

Here’s how it works and what makes it unique:

1. Realistic 3D Scenes from a Single Photo: With DimensionX, you can create a dynamic 3D scene from a single image. It even allows camera control options like zoom, rotation, and tilt, letting you view your scene from multiple angles. For instance, starting with one photo of a person, DimensionX can build an interactive 3D space around them.

2. High Consistency and Realism: DimensionX ensures highly realistic details, like natural reflections on surfaces. It also fills in missing details based on AI predictions, making it appear as though the entire scene was fully captured.

3. Multiple Perspectives from One Video: Uploading a single video enables the creation of multiple camera angles without extra filming equipment. This cuts down production costs and saves time.

How DimensionX Works

DimensionX’s framework is broken down into three main components:

• ST-Director for Video Generation: This technology allows you to separate and control spatial and temporal elements within videos. Using dimension-aware data, ST-Director offers precise control over both space and time, improving the accuracy of generated scenes.

• S-Director for 3D Scene Creation: When generating 3D from one view, S-Director takes video frames and reconstructs a high-quality 3D scene.

• T-Director for 4D Scene Creation: T-Director generates temporal-variant video sequences that transform into 4D scenes with spatially varying frames. These frames are refined into consistent multi-view 4D scenes.

Try DimensionX

DimensionX is open-source on GitHub (under the Apache-2.0 license) and includes initial camera actions like orbiting. It’s available for hands-on testing through a Gradio interface and a Hugging Face demo https://huggingface.co/spaces/fffiloni/DimensionX (note that wait times may apply, mine was in queue for 20 minutes).

I've picked a complicated image, and of course there was no flames animation (that's not ehat the tool was designed to do) but also it skewed the moon as it rotated left:

Ok so sadly, my 2nd test didn't turn out well. Woman's body got completely distorted half way into the rotation.

If this software gets improved, then possibly in the future, DimensionX could become a powerful tool for reimagining 3D and 4D content creation with greater freedom and precision. For now it seems to be still rough around the edges.
