If 2D wasn't hard enough, there are researchers working on generative 3D models. 3D models present an extra challenge because there is paucity of training datasets.In this episode, PhD students Sandeep and Oindrila walked us through their work on creating 3D animals using 2D data. Join us to learn about their pipelines, quality control, tie in with iNaturalist, and how this tech could streamline FX pipelines. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/data-skeptic/episodes/generating-3d-animals-with-youdream/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/data-skeptic/generating-3d-animals-with-youdream.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
