Enlighten Animation is an AI lab focused on developing next-generation human-AI interfaces and superhuman creative assistants. Their flagship product, Enlighten-SDS 1.5, is a cutting-edge Text-to-3D synthesis system optimized for realism in filmmaking, CG rendering, and virtual production. It generates high-resolution 3D models from text prompts, image guidance, or mesh input. The system uses score distillation sampling (SDS) variants with differential ray tracing and inverse shading techniques, incorporating guidance from Vision-Language Models. Enlighten-SDS prioritizes knowledge from sensor-captured photos and includes safety protocols to prevent the generation of harmful content. Bell Chen and Zike Wu are co-founders, with Bell leading research and Zike focusing on world model research.
