Abstract

We present Seed3D 2.0, an advanced 3D content generation system built on Seed3D 1.0, with substantial improvements across generation fidelity, simulation-ready capabilities, and application coverage. For geometry, a coarse-to-fine two-stage pipeline decouples global structure learning from high-frequency detail recovery, while a locality-aware VAE achieves higher spatial compression and more efficient decoding. For texture and material generation, we replace the cascaded pipeline of Seed3D 1.0 with a unified PBR model that directly generates multi-view albedo and metallic-roughness maps, enhanced by Mixture-of-Experts scaling and VLM-based semantic conditioning for improved material precision and visual fidelity. Beyond single-object generation, Seed3D 2.0 introduces a simulation-ready model suite comprising scene layout planning, part-aware decomposition, and training-free articulation generation, enabling coherent scene construction and part-level physical interaction across physics and graphics engines. A large-scale human preference study against five recent commercial models shows that Seed3D 2.0 achieves consistent win rates of 69.0% to 89.9% in textured 3D asset generation. Seed3D 2.0 is available on https://exp.volcengine.com/ark/vision?_vtm_=0.0.c70961.d701978.0&mode=vision&modelId=doubao-seed3d-2-0-260328&tab=Gen3D

AssetGen: Deployable 3D Asset Generation at Interactive Speed

While 3D generation is progressing rapidly, recent work has often focused on obtaining high-resolution assets, leaving user experience and deployability as afterthoughts. We present AssetGen, a 3D generator that focuses instead on these two aspects. Given one reference image, in 30 seconds it produces a high-quality mesh with baked normals, a color texture, and a controlled polygon budget suitable for real-time rendering, including mobile use cases. The AssetGen Flash variant further reduces latency to 14 seconds for interactive and agentic creation loops. Our model generates the object geometry with a coarse-to-refine VecSet framework, which implements mesh simplification, cleaning, and normal baking on the GPU, and a fast parallel UV unwrapping. It then generates textures in a multi-view fashion, followed by backprojection and 3D inpainting. Model distillation, kernel optimization, and pipeline parallelization are co-designed to accelerate the system end-to-end. We introduce numerous automated and blind human evaluations and demonstrate competitive visual quality against leading commercial solutions in 30 seconds and preview-quality results in less than 15 seconds. The final result is a system that supports AI-assisted, deployable 3D content creation in interactive workflows.

GenAssets: Generating in-the-wild 3D Assets in Latent Space

High-quality 3D assets for traffic participants are critical for multi-sensor simulation, which is essential for the safe end-to-end development of autonomy. Building assets from in-the-wild data is key for diversity and realism, but existing neural-rendering based reconstruction methods are slow and generate assets that render well only from viewpoints close to the original observations, limiting their usefulness in simulation. Recent diffusion-based generative models build complete and diverse assets, but perform poorly on in-the-wild driving scenes, where observed actors are captured under sparse and limited fields of view, and are partially occluded. In this work, we propose a 3D latent diffusion model that learns on in-the-wild LiDAR and camera data captured by a sensor platform and generates high-quality 3D assets with complete geometry and appearance. Key to our method is a "reconstruct-then-generate" approach that first leverages occlusion-aware neural rendering trained over multiple scenes to build a high-quality latent space for objects, and then trains a diffusion model that operates on the latent space. We show our method outperforms existing reconstruction and generation based methods, unlocking diverse and scalable content creation for simulation.

DreamCharacter-1: From 3D Generative Foundation Models to Product-Ready Character Generation

We present DreamCharacter-1, a lightweight post-adaptation framework that calibrates pretrained 3D foundation models toward high-fidelity, production-ready 3D character generation. Building upon a 3D foundation backbone, our pipeline incorporates three task-oriented components: (1) geometry post-training, which enhances fine-grained surface details through geometric preference optimization; (2) texture post-training, which synthesizes high-resolution textures and refines the appearance of occluded regions; and (3) inference acceleration, which enables scalable deployment. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that DreamCharacter-1 produces visually compelling and structurally robust 3D character assets, consistently surpassing state-of-the-art character generation methods.
