Paint3D

Why we included this project

Paint3D tackles a genuinely awkward part of 3D asset work: taking an untextured mesh and giving it a clean 2K UV texture from a text prompt or a reference image. Its two-stage pipeline starts with a depth-aware diffusion model that paints views of the object and fuses them into a rough texture, then hands off to dedicated UV inpainting and UVHD models that fill the gaps and remove baked-in lighting. What comes out is a lighting-less albedo map, so you can re-light and re-edit it in a normal graphics pipeline instead of fighting pre-baked illumination. That makes it useful for game assets and product visualization, where baked light tends to be a liability. The repo includes the pipeline scripts and a ComfyUI node, so teams can test the approach on their own meshes without rebuilding the framework.
