21 Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating seams for a three-dimensional (3D) model, the method comprising:

generating, based on the 3D model, one or more representations of the 3D model that are different from the 3D model;

generating a set of seam predictions associated with the 3D model based on one or more criteria of one or more machine learning models that use the one or more representations of the 3D model as inputs, wherein each seam prediction included in the set of seam predictions identifies a different seam along which the 3D model can be cut; and

placing one or more seams on the 3D model based on the set of seam predictions.
