Controlling viewpoint and 3D style in image generation
DALL·E allows control over scene viewpoint and 3D rendering style, including optical distortions and reflections.
DALL·E allows for control over the viewpoint of a scene and the 3D style in which a scene is rendered.
This includes applying optical distortions like fisheye lens views and generating reflections. It can also render internal structure with cross-sectional views and external structure with macro photographs.
Testing DALL·E’s ability to repeatedly draw the head of a well-known figure at each angle from a sequence of equally spaced angles can recover a smooth animation of a rotating head.
DALL·E can control the viewpoint and 3D rendering style of generated images. This capability extends to applying optical distortions, generating reflections, and rendering internal or external structures.
