# Overview

`Stable Virtual Camera (Seva)` is a 1.3B generalist diffusion model for Novel View Synthesis (NVS), generating 3D consistent novel views of a scene, given any number of input views and target cameras.

# :tada: News

- March 2025 - `Stable Virtual Camera` is out everywhere.

# :wrench: Installation

```bash

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Stability-AI/stable-virtual-camera

cd stable-virtual-camera

pip install -e .

```

Please note that you will need `python>=3.10` and `torch>=2.6.0`.

Check [INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md) for other dependencies if you want to use our demos or develop from this repo.
For windows users, please use WSL as flash attention isn't supported on native Windows [yet](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/108175).

# :open_book: Usage



You need to properly authenticate with Hugging Face to download our model weights. Once set up, our code will handle it automatically at your first run. You can authenticate by running



```bash

# This will prompt you to enter your Hugging Face credentials.

huggingface-cli login

```



Once authenticated, go to our model card [here](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-virtual-camera) and enter your information for access.



We provide two demos for you to interact with `Stable Virtual Camera`.



### :rocket: Gradio demo



This gradio demo is a GUI interface that requires no expert knowledge, suitable for general users. Simply run



```bash

python demo_gr.py
```



For a more detailed guide, follow [GR_USAGE.md](docs/GR_USAGE.md).



### :computer: CLI demo



This cli demo allows you to pass in more options and control the model in a fine-grained way, suitable for power users and academic researchers. An example command line looks as simple as



```bash

python demo.py --data_path <data_path> [additional arguments]

```

For a more detailed guide, follow [CLI_USAGE.md](docs/CLI_USAGE.md).

For users interested in benchmarking NVS models using command lines, check [`benchmark`](benchmark/) containing the details about scenes, splits, and input/target views we reported in the <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/2503.14489">paper</a>.

# :question: Q&A
