Abstract

Autoregressive multimodal large language models (MLLMs) enable 3D generation but struggle to scale to high-resolution shapes due to inadequate 3D tokenizations. Compact set-based representations discard deterministic spatial ordering, leading to ambiguous sequence prediction, while uniform or octree-based voxel grids preserve ordering at the cost of severe redundancy and excessively long sequences. This structural trade-off limits stable and efficient autoregressive 3D generation. We present SuperVoxelGPT, a representation-first framework that resolves this tension through adaptive and deterministically ordered supervoxel tokenization. Given a prompt, we first predict a coarse geometric saliency distribution and construct a shape-adaptive supervoxel partition using saliency-guided centroidal Voronoi tessellation, allocating fine-grained cells to complex regions and larger cells to smooth regions. Conditioned on this prompt and ordered supervoxel layout, we introduce a SuperVoxelVAE and fine-tune a pretrained MLLM to autoregressively generate supervoxel tokens. Experiments using Trellis-500K data show that SuperVoxelGPT reduces token sequence length to 12.8% of uniform voxel tokenization while achieving state-of-the-art generation quality and an average 10x speedup over prior methods.

MeshWeaver: Sparse-Voxel-Guided Surface Weaving for Autoregressive Mesh Generation

Autoregressive mesh generation has gained attention by tokenizing meshes into sequences and training models in a language-modeling fashion. However, existing approaches suffer from two fundamental limitations: (i) low tokenization efficiency, which yields long token sequences and prevents scaling to high-poly meshes, and (ii) absence of geometry-aware guidance, as generation is conditioned only on global shape embeddings rather than local surface cues. We introduce MeshWeaver, an autoregressive framework that treats mesh generation as a surface weaving process by directly predicting the next vertex instead of independent coordinates. At its core is a multi-level sparse-voxel encoder that injects geometric context into the generative process in three complementary ways: providing voxel features as vertex representations, guiding token prediction via cross-attention to voxel features, and serving as a structural scaffold that constrains generation around the input surface. Our hierarchical design enables coarse-to-fine vertex prediction in a single decoding step, while tightly coupling the generative model with 3D geometry. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MeshWeaver achieves a state-of-the-art compression ratio of 18%, can generate meshes with up to 16K faces, and significantly improves geometric fidelity over prior approaches.

GaussianGPT: Towards Autoregressive 3D Gaussian Scene Generation

Most recent advances in 3D generative modeling rely on diffusion or flow-matching formulations. We instead explore a fully autoregressive alternative and introduce GaussianGPT, a transformer-based model that directly generates 3D Gaussians via next-token prediction, thus facilitating full 3D scene generation. We first compress Gaussian primitives into a discrete latent grid using a sparse 3D convolutional autoencoder with vector quantization. The resulting tokens are serialized and modeled using a causal transformer with 3D rotary positional embedding, enabling sequential generation of spatial structure and appearance. Unlike diffusion-based methods that refine scenes holistically, our formulation constructs scenes step-by-step, naturally supporting completion, outpainting, controllable sampling via temperature, and flexible generation horizons. This formulation leverages the compositional inductive biases and scalability of autoregressive modeling while operating on explicit representations compatible with modern neural rendering pipelines, positioning autoregressive transformers as a complementary paradigm for controllable and context-aware 3D generation.

Meshy T2: Fast Native Mesh Generation with Flow Matching

Polygonal meshes are the standard surface representation of modern 3D pipelines, and generating high-quality meshes with artist-style topology is essential for film, gaming, and interactive 3D applications. Mainstream approaches serialize a mesh into a token sequence and decode it autoregressively, which is slow at inference and sensitive to error accumulation, making them impractical for interactive asset creation. We present Meshy T2, a fast native mesh generation framework built on flow matching. At its core is a vertex-set mesh VAE that encodes a mesh into one continuous latent token per vertex and decodes vertices, edge connectivity, and face winding order in a single pass, preserving high-precision geometry and artist-authored topology without vertex quantization or welding. Generation proceeds as a coarse-to-fine cascade of two flow-matching models: an image-conditioned voxel flow first sketches the overall shape as a coarse occupancy scaffold, and a mesh flow then populates the scaffold with per-vertex latent tokens, conditioned on the image, the scaffold, and a requested vertex budget. This design delivers three practical capabilities: interactive generation speed through parallel flow-based synthesis; effective face-count control through the requested vertex budget; and native support for multi-part assets, whose components emerge directly from the generated connectivity. In our experiments, Meshy T2 achieves state-of-the-art geometric fidelity and completes end-to-end image-to-mesh generation within a median of 6 seconds, over an order of magnitude faster than autoregressive baselines.
