Marigold V2 launches at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026: sharp diffusion-transformer depth estimation
AntonObukhov1 · x · 2026-09-09
Anton Obukhov announced Marigold V2, accepted to SIGGRAPH Asia 2026.
- V1 recap: Marigold post-trains an image generator into a depth estimator on a single GPU — an accessible research recipe.
- V2 upgrade: the backbone moves to a diffusion transformer (DiT), producing very sharp edges with stronger versatility.
Paper, code, weights, and a demo are all available, and the author has shared a low-cost fine-tuning path (4-bit quantization + QLoRA on one consumer GPU).
