With Alchemist, you can change roughness, metallicity, albedo (the base color of an object), and transparency in both real and artificially created images. The model allows you to create a new visualization by arranging each of these features on a continuous range from -1 to 1.
The tool could be useful for improving models in video games, enhancing AI capabilities in visual effects, and enriching training data for robots. “Alchemist” will help develop photorealism and achieve the desired look with high accuracy.
According to the researchers, the new tool outperforms similar models in organizing objects. It can precisely change the properties of materials while preserving the remaining details of the image. Additionally, Alchemist allows the user to manipulate materials more easily and effectively than in, for example, Photoshop.
The creators note that work on “The Alchemist” is ongoing, and in the future the model may be improved to more accurately edit images and help create three-dimensional objects for computer graphics.
