US Patent 12020392 Neural rendering using trained albedo textures

Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for generating a photorealistic rendering of an object. The operations include: accessing a set of albedo textures and a machine learning model associated with a real-world object, the set of albedo textures and a machine learning model having been trained based on a plurality of viewpoints of the real-world object; obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) mesh of the real-world object; receiving input that selects a new viewpoint that differs from the plurality of viewpoints of the real-world object; and generating a photorealistic rendering of the real-world object from the new viewpoint based on the 3D mesh of the real-world object, the set of albedo textures, and the machine learning model associated with the real-world object.
