Democratizing 3D Creation
- Meta's goal is to democratize 3D creation so anyone can make 3D content without specialized skills.
- They aim to transform creation for social and entertainment using AI-powered tools.
Why 3D Creation Is Hard
- 3D adds complexity because creators must handle depth, topology, rigging, and animation.
- That extra dimension makes both human creation and AI generation considerably harder than 2D.
Solving The Creator–User Loop
