Geometry-Aware Style Transfer in 3D Gaussian Splatting

After the success of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for novel view synthesis, many works have explored how to also use it for geometric surface representation. However, extracting accurate geometric information directly from 3DGS remains challenging and can often reduce the appearance rendering quality. In this work, we show that 3DGS in its default form is inheritedly unsuited to represent texture and geometry at the same time, by training with complete ground-truth texture and geometry information. We also propose a simple solution by applying a single additional geometry opacity parameter to each splat, together with an optional transparency-curated optimization pipeline. Our experiments, both with ground-truth and vision foundation model geometric input, show that this change leads to improved rendering and geometry performance on a wide variety of dataset, and especially complex scenes with transparent objects benefit significantly from our method.

While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) provides an efficient and explicit representation for novel view synthesis, enforcing stylistic coherence across viewpoints remains challenging. Existing 3D stylization methods typically apply 2D feature-matching losses independently per rendered view, which leads to unstable style allocation, many-to-one feature reuse, and limited cross-view consistency. We propose a capacity-controlled framework for multi-view stylization of 3DGS, grounded in optimal transport. Specifically, we reformulate local style matching as a semi-balanced optimal transport problem. By introducing explicit column-capacity constraints with tunable strength, our formulation mitigates many-to-one matching and enables controllable allocation of style features. This transport-based objective provides a principled mechanism for balancing feature coverage and stylistic diversity while maintaining stable correspondences across viewpoints. To further enhance cross-view coherence, we incorporate a novel cross-view matching guidance to constrain correspondences between scene content and style patterns. In addition, we introduce several geometric regularizations to enhance the vanilla 3DGS, thereby enabling optimized Gaussian primitives to represent finer-grained textures during stylization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach significantly improves multi-view stylistic consistency and produces stable, expressive 3D stylizations while preserving the core semantic structure of the scene.

The growing demand for rapid and scalable 3D asset creation has driven interest in feed-forward 3D reconstruction methods, with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) emerging as an effective scene representation. While recent approaches have demonstrated pose-free reconstruction from unposed image collections, integrating stylization or appearance control into such pipelines remains underexplored. Existing attempts largely rely on image-based conditioning, which limits both controllability and flexibility. In this work, we introduce AnyStyle, a feed-forward 3D reconstruction and stylization framework that enables pose-free, zero-shot stylization through multimodal conditioning. Our method supports both textual and visual style inputs, allowing users to control the scene appearance using natural language descriptions or reference images. We propose a modular stylization architecture that requires only minimal architectural modifications and can be integrated into existing feed-forward 3D reconstruction backbones. Experiments demonstrate that AnyStyle improves style controllability over prior feed-forward stylization methods while preserving high-quality geometric reconstruction. A user study further confirms that AnyStyle achieves superior stylization quality compared to an existing state-of-the-art approach. Repository: https://github.com/joaxkal/AnyStyle.
