Abstract

Physics-driven 4D dynamic simulation from static 3D scenes remains constrained by an overlooked contradiction: reliable motion supervision often relies on online video diffusion or optical-flow pipelines whose computational cost exceeds that of the simulator itself. Existing methods further simplify inverse physical modeling by optimizing only partial material parameters, limiting realism in scenes with complex materials and dynamics. We present Resonance4D, a physics-driven 4D dynamic simulation framework that couples 3D Gaussian Splatting with the Material Point Method through lightweight yet physically expressive supervision. Our key insight is that dynamic consistency can be enforced without dense temporal generation by jointly constraining motion in complementary domains. To this end, we introduce Dual-domain Motion Supervision (DMS), which combines spatial structural consistency for local deformation with frequency-domain spectral consistency for oscillatory and global dynamic patterns, substantially reducing training cost and memory overhead while preserving physically meaningful motion cues. To enable stable full-parameter physical recovery, we further combine zero-shot text-prompted segmentation with simulation-guided initialization to automatically decompose Gaussians into object-part-level regions and support joint optimization of full material parameters. Experiments on both synthetic and real scenes show that Resonance4D achieves strong physical fidelity and motion consistency while reducing peak GPU memory from over 35,GB to around 20,GB, enabling high-fidelity physics-driven 4D simulation on a single consumer-grade GPU.

Phys4D: Fine-Grained Physics-Consistent 4D Modeling from Video Diffusion

Recent video diffusion models have achieved impressive capabilities as large-scale generative world models. However, these models often struggle with fine-grained physical consistency, exhibiting physically implausible dynamics over time. In this work, we present Phys4D, a pipeline for learning physics-consistent 4D world representations from video diffusion models. Phys4D adopts a three-stage training paradigm that progressively lifts appearance-driven video diffusion models into physics-consistent 4D world representations. We first bootstrap robust geometry and motion representations through large-scale pseudo-supervised pretraining, establishing a foundation for 4D scene modeling. We then perform physics-grounded supervised fine-tuning using simulation-generated data, enforcing temporally consistent 4D dynamics. Finally, we apply simulation-grounded reinforcement learning to correct residual physical violations that are difficult to capture through explicit supervision. To evaluate fine-grained physical consistency beyond appearance-based metrics, we introduce a set of 4D world consistency evaluation that probe geometric coherence, motion stability, and long-horizon physical plausibility. Experimental results demonstrate that Phys4D substantially improves fine-grained spatiotemporal and physical consistency compared to appearance-driven baselines, while maintaining strong generative performance.

CP4D: Compositional Physics-aware 4D Scene Generation

4D generation (i.e., dynamic 3D generation) has recently emerged as a rapidly growing research frontier due to its powerful spatiotemporal modeling capabilities. However, despite notable advances, existing approaches typically fail to capture the underlying physical principles, producing results that are both physically inconsistent and visually implausible. To overcome this limitation, we present CP4D, a novel paradigm for photorealistic 4D scene synthesis with faithful adherence to complex physical dynamics. Drawing inspiration from the compositional nature of real-world scenes, where immutable static backgrounds coexist with dynamic, physically plausible foregrounds, CP4D reformulates 4D generation as the integration of a static 3D environment with physically grounded dynamic objects. On this basis, our framework follows a three-stage pipeline: 1) Firstly, we leverage pre-trained expert models to generate high-fidelity 3D representations of the environment and foreground objects respectively. 2) Subsequently, to produce physically plausible trajectories and realistic interactions for these objects, we propose a hybrid motion synthesis strategy that integrates priors from physical simulators with the common sense embedded in video diffusion models. 3) Finally, we develop an automated composition mechanism that seamlessly fuses the static environment and dynamic objects into coherent, physically consistent 4D scenes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CP4D can generate explorable and interactive 4D scenes with high visual fidelity, strong physical plausibility, and fine-grained controllability, significantly outperforming existing methods.

EndoGSim: Physics-Aware 4D Dynamic Endoscopic Scene Simulations via MLLM-Guided Gaussian Splatting

In robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, high-fidelity dynamic endoscopic scene reconstruction and simulation are crucial to enhancing downstream tasks and advancing surgical outcomes. However, existing methods primarily focus on visual reconstruction, lacking physics-based descriptions of the scene required for realistic simulation. We propose a unified framework that achieves physics-aware reconstruction and physical simulation of endoscopic scenes through Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs)-guided Gaussian Splatting. Our approach utilizes 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) integrated with pre-trained segmentation and depth estimation to represent deformable tissues and tools. To achieve automatic inference of physical properties, we introduce an object-wise material field that initializes material parameters via MLLM and refines them through a differentiable Material Point Method (MPM) under joint supervision from rendered images and optical flow. Validated on both open-source and in-house datasets, our framework achieves superior simulation fidelity and physical accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods, underscoring its potential to advance robot-assisted surgical applications.
