ReSpace: Text-Driven Autoregressive 3D Indoor Scene Synthesis and Editing

Abstract

Scene synthesis and editing has emerged as a promising direction in computer graphics. Current trained approaches for 3D indoor scene generation either oversimplify object semantics through one-hot class encodings (e.g., 'chair' or 'table'), require masked diffusion for editing, ignore room boundaries, or rely on floor plan renderings that fail to capture complex layouts. LLM-based methods enable richer semantics via natural language, but lack editing functionality, are limited to rectangular layouts, or rely on weak spatial reasoning from implicit world models. We introduce ReSpace, a generative framework for autoregressive text-driven 3D indoor scene synthesis and editing. Our approach features a compact structured scene representation with explicit room boundaries that enables asset-agnostic deployment and frames scene manipulation as a next-token prediction task, supporting object addition, removal, and swapping via natural language. We employ supervised fine-tuning with a preference alignment stage to train a specialized language model for object addition that accounts for user instructions, spatial geometry, object semantics, and scene-level composition. We further introduce a voxelization-based evaluation metric capturing fine-grained geometric violations beyond 3D bounding boxes. Experiments surpass state-of-the-art on object addition and achieve superior human-perceived quality on the application of full scene synthesis, despite not being trained on it.

ThinkBLOX: 3D Indoor Scene Generation with Progressive Reasoning

While traditional graphics methods often synthesize 3D indoor scenes autoregressively or hierarchically, recent vision-language model (VLM)-based generators predominantly adopt a one-shot paradigm where the full layout is planned at once. This one-shot approach often requires global re-optimization or complete reconstruction during interactive editing (e.g., inserting or moving objects) and can lead to physically or semantically poorly organized arrangements. To address these challenges, we propose ThinkBLOX, a VLM-based progressive reasoning framework that iteratively designs and refines 3D scenes. ThinkBLOX treats layout generation as a state-conditioned, step-by-step reasoningand-action process. To power this, we construct the ThinkBLOX-Data-200K dataset, containing 224,757 procedural placement pairs annotated with multi-view scene context, explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) rationales, and structured JSON layouts. Through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on this dataset, the VLM learns to bridge the reasoning-action gap under incremental updates. Furthermore, recognizing that scene synthesis is inherently a multisolution task where SFT suffers from reward conflict, we introduce Tier-Decoupled GDPO. This reinforcement learning scheme organizes heterogeneous rewards into distinct tiers, stabilizing policy optimization across physical validity, semantic plausibility, and reasoning-action consistency. Extensive experiments show that ThinkBLOX significantly outperforms recent one-shot and iterative baselines in physical plausibility, semantic alignment, and interactive editability. Additionally, we show that it supports diverse applications, including both global and local generation and rearrangement of 3D scenes.

ScenePilot: Grow-and-Repair Policy for Text-Driven 3D Indoor Scene Generation

Text-driven 3D indoor scene generation has advanced from dataset-bound layout modeling to open-vocabulary synthesis with large language and vision-language models. Yet existing methods remain limited: one-pass generators often yield geometrically invalid layouts, heavy post-hoc optimization is costly and unstable, and prompt-only planners lack reusable layout priors for functional grouping and object relations. We propose \textbf{ScenePilot}, a retrieval-augmented \textbf{Grow-and-Repair} framework that formulates scene generation as prior-guided incremental growth with learned rectification. Given a prompt, the Hierarchical Retrieval-Augmented Planning (HRAP) module retrieves room-, group-, and anchor-level layout priors to support functional group planning. A text-driven base generator then inserts object groups sequentially, while the Reinforcement Multimodal Repair (RMR) module performs lightweight local correction after each insertion and a final global repair after completion. To train this policy, we construct \textbf{SceneReverse-17k}, a repair-trajectory dataset built by perturbing high-quality 3D scenes in position, rotation, and scale, then using inverse operations as executable rectification targets. The policy predicts structured \emph{move--rotate--scale} actions from rendered views, scene state, retrieved priors, and edit history. By combining HRAP with RMR, ScenePilot offers an efficient alternative to one-shot generation and heavy full-scene optimization, improving physical plausibility, functional coherence, and controllability while preserving diversity.

SpatialGrammar: A Domain-Specific Language for LLM-Based 3D Indoor Scene Generation

Automatically generating interactive 3D indoor scenes from natural language is crucial for virtual reality, gaming, and embodied AI. However, existing LLM-based approaches often suffer from spatial errors and collisions, in part because common scene representations-raw coordinates or verbose code-are difficult for models to reason about 3D spatial relationships and physical constraints. We propose SpatialGrammar, a domain-specific language that represents gravity-aligned indoor layouts as BEV grid placements with deterministic compilation to valid 3D geometry, enabling verifiable constraint checking. Building on this representation, we develop (1) SG-Agent, a closed-loop system that uses compiler feedback to iteratively refine scenes and enforce collision constraints, and (2) SG-Mini, a 104M-parameter model trained entirely on compiler-validated synthetic data. Across 159 test scenes spanning five scenarios of different complexity, SG-Agent improves spatial fidelity and physical plausibility over prior methods, while SG-Mini performs competitively against larger LLM-based baselines on single-shot generation scenarios.
