Learning the 3D Fauna of the Web

Figure 1. Learning Diverse 3D Animals from the Internet. Our method, 3D-Fauna, learns a pan-category deformable 3D model of more than 100 different animal species using only 2D Internet images as training data. At test time, the model can turn a single image of an quadruped instance into an articulated, textured 3D mesh in a feed-forward manner, ready for animation and rendering.
