AniGen AI model ported for rigged 3D asset generation on Macs

A developer has successfully ported AniGen, an AI model capable of generating rigged 3D assets from images, to run on Apple Silicon Macs. The port, developed by Mazur92, allows users to create and animate 3D models in approximately 3.5 minutes on M5 Max chips. While the generated asset quality is noted as not as striking as other models, the ability to immediately animate the output is highlighted as a fun feature. AI

IMPACT Enables 3D content creation on Mac hardware, potentially broadening accessibility for artists and developers.

RANK_REASON This is a port of an existing AI model to a new platform, not a novel model release or significant research breakthrough.
