# Shap-E

The Shap-E model was proposed in [Shap-E: Generating Conditional 3D Implicit Functions](https://huggingface.co/papers/2305.02463) by Alex Nichol and Heewoo Jun from [OpenAI](https://github.com/openai).

The abstract from the paper is:

*We present Shap-E, a conditional generative model for 3D assets. Unlike recent work on 3D generative models which produce a single output representation, Shap-E directly generates the parameters of implicit functions that can be rendered as both textured meshes and neural radiance fields. We train Shap-E in two stages: first, we train an encoder that deterministically maps 3D assets into the parameters of an implicit function; second, we train a conditional diffusion model on outputs of the encoder. When trained on a large dataset of paired 3D and text data, our resulting models are capable of generating complex and diverse 3D assets in a matter of seconds. When compared to Point-E, an explicit generative model over point clouds, Shap-E converges faster and reaches comparable or better sample quality despite modeling a higher-dimensional, multi-representation output space.*

The original codebase can be found at [openai/shap-e](https://github.com/openai/shap-e).

## Text-to-3D

To generate a gif of a 3D object, pass a text prompt to the [ShapEPipeline](/docs/diffusers/pr_13745/en/api/pipelines/shap_e#diffusers.ShapEPipeline). The pipeline generates a list of image frames which are used to create the 3D object.

```py
import torch
from diffusers import ShapEPipeline

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

pipe = ShapEPipeline.from_pretrained("openai/shap-e", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")
pipe = pipe.to(device)

guidance_scale = 15.0
prompt = ["A firecracker", "A birthday cupcake"]

images = pipe(
    prompt,
    guidance_scale=guidance_scale,
    num_inference_steps=64,
    frame_size=256,
).images
```

Now use the [export_to_gif()](/docs/diffusers/pr_13745/en/api/utilities#diffusers.utils.export_to_gif) function to convert the list of image frames to a gif of the 3D object.

```py
from diffusers.utils import export_to_gif

export_to_gif(images[0], "firecracker_3d.gif")
export_to_gif(images[1], "cake_3d.gif")
```

  
    
    prompt = "A firecracker"
  
  
    
    prompt = "A birthday cupcake"
  

## Image-to-3D

To generate a 3D object from another image, use the [ShapEImg2ImgPipeline](/docs/diffusers/pr_13745/en/api/pipelines/shap_e#diffusers.ShapEImg2ImgPipeline). You can use an existing image or generate an entirely new one. Let's use the [Kandinsky 2.1](./kandinsky) model to generate a new image.

```py
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

prior_pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")

prompt = "A cheeseburger, white background"

image_embeds, negative_image_embeds = prior_pipeline(prompt, guidance_scale=1.0).to_tuple()
image = pipeline(
    prompt,
    image_embeds=image_embeds,
    negative_image_embeds=negative_image_embeds,
).images[0]

image.save("burger.png")
```

Pass the cheeseburger to the [ShapEImg2ImgPipeline](/docs/diffusers/pr_13745/en/api/pipelines/shap_e#diffusers.ShapEImg2ImgPipeline) to generate a 3D representation of it.

```py
from PIL import Image
from diffusers import ShapEImg2ImgPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_gif

pipe = ShapEImg2ImgPipeline.from_pretrained("openai/shap-e-img2img", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16").to("cuda")

guidance_scale = 3.0
image = Image.open("burger.png").resize((256, 256))

images = pipe(
    image,
    guidance_scale=guidance_scale,
    num_inference_steps=64,
    frame_size=256,
).images

gif_path = export_to_gif(images[0], "burger_3d.gif")
```

  
    
    cheeseburger
  
  
    
    3D cheeseburger
  

## Generate mesh

Shap-E is a flexible model that can also generate textured mesh outputs to be rendered for downstream applications. In this example, you'll convert the output into a `glb` file because the 🤗 Datasets library supports mesh visualization of `glb` files which can be rendered by the [Dataset viewer](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/datasets-viewer#dataset-preview).

You can generate mesh outputs for both the [ShapEPipeline](/docs/diffusers/pr_13745/en/api/pipelines/shap_e#diffusers.ShapEPipeline) and [ShapEImg2ImgPipeline](/docs/diffusers/pr_13745/en/api/pipelines/shap_e#diffusers.ShapEImg2ImgPipeline) by specifying the `output_type` parameter as `"mesh"`:

```py
import torch
from diffusers import ShapEPipeline

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

pipe = ShapEPipeline.from_pretrained("openai/shap-e", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")
pipe = pipe.to(device)

guidance_scale = 15.0
prompt = "A birthday cupcake"

images = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=guidance_scale, num_inference_steps=64, frame_size=256, output_type="mesh").images
```

Use the `export_to_ply()` function to save the mesh output as a `ply` file:

> [!TIP]
> You can optionally save the mesh output as an `obj` file with the `export_to_obj()` function. The ability to save the mesh output in a variety of formats makes it more flexible for downstream usage!

```py
from diffusers.utils import export_to_ply

ply_path = export_to_ply(images[0], "3d_cake.ply")
print(f"Saved to folder: {ply_path}")
```

Then you can convert the `ply` file to a `glb` file with the trimesh library:

```py
import trimesh

mesh = trimesh.load("3d_cake.ply")
mesh_export = mesh.export("3d_cake.glb", file_type="glb")
```

By default, the mesh output is focused from the bottom viewpoint but you can change the default viewpoint by applying a rotation transform:

```py
import trimesh
import numpy as np

mesh = trimesh.load("3d_cake.ply")
rot = trimesh.transformations.rotation_matrix(-np.pi / 2, [1, 0, 0])
mesh = mesh.apply_transform(rot)
mesh_export = mesh.export("3d_cake.glb", file_type="glb")
```

Upload the mesh file to your dataset repository to visualize it with the Dataset viewer!
