Mesh deformation, the process of altering the vertex positions of a 3D mesh while preserving its topological structure, is a cornerstone of computer graphics. Despite the recent emergence of numerous text-guided 3D mesh deformation methods, deforming an initial mesh into one that both adheres to text prompts and preserves its pose remains challenging. This paper proposes PoseAlign, which decomposes text-guided mesh deformation into two stages: global pose scaling and local detail sculpting. Specifically, in the first stage, we introduce the Laplacian as a differentiable mesh representation to enable more efficient yet smoother global deformation. Then, we propose a novel pose-aligned SDS loss by adapting score distillation sampling (SDS) with an attention-sharing mechanism, which sculptures fine-grained geometric details for the deformed mesh while preserving its original pose. PoseAlign significantly enhances the controllability of the overall deformation process, achieving a favorable balance between pose preservation and text alignment. Experiments demonstrate the competitive advantages of our method in text alignment and mesh quality. Code is available at: https://cousingrade6.github.io/PoseAlign
Video-guided 3D animation holds immense potential for content creation, offering intuitive and precise control over dynamic assets. However, practical deployment faces a critical yet frequently overlooked hurdle: the pose misalignment dilemma. In real-world scenarios, the initial pose of a user-provided static mesh rarely aligns with the starting frame of a reference video. Naively forcing a mesh to follow a mismatched trajectory inevitably leads to severe geometric distortion or animation failure. To address this, we present Rectified Dynamic Mesh (R-DMesh), a unified framework designed to generate high-fidelity 4D meshes that are ``rectified'' to align with video context. Unlike standard motion transfer approaches, our method introduces a novel VAE that explicitly disentangles the input into a conditional base mesh, relative motion trajectories, and a crucial rectification jump offset. This offset is learned to automatically transform the arbitrary pose of the input mesh to match the video's initial state before animation begins. We process these components via a Triflow Attention mechanism, which leverages vertex-wise geometric features to modulate the three orthogonal flows, ensuring physical consistency and local rigidity during the rectification and animation process. For generation, we employ a Rectified Flow-based Diffusion Transformer conditioned on pre-trained video latents, effectively transferring rich spatio-temporal priors to the 3D domain. To support this task, we construct Video-RDMesh, a large-scale dataset of over 500k dynamic mesh sequences specifically curated to simulate pose misalignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that R-DMesh not only solves the alignment problem but also enables robust downstream applications, including pose retargeting and holistic 4D generation.
We introduce MeshLAM, a feed-forward framework for one-shot animatable mesh head reconstruction that generates high-fidelity, animatable 3D head avatars from a single image. Unlike previous work that relies on time-consuming test-time optimization or extensive multi-view data, our method produces complete mesh representations with inherent animatability from a single image in a single forward pass. Our approach employs a dual shape and texture map architecture that simultaneously processes mesh vertices and texture map with extracted image features from a shared transformer backbone, allowing for coherent shape carving and appearance modeling. To prevent mesh collapse and ensure topological integrity during feed-forward deformation, we propose an iterative GRU-based decoding mechanism with progressive geometry deformation and texture refinement, coupled with a novel reprojection-based texture guidance mechanism that anchors appearance learning to the input image. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in reconstruction quality, animation capability, and computational efficiency.

Pose-guided text-to-image generation often suffers from limb distortions and feature crosstalk in complex multi-person scenarios. While existing UNet-based adapters struggle with long-range spatial dependencies, emerging Multimodal Diffusion Transformers (MM-DiTs) offer superior global modeling. However, naive signal concatenation in MM-DiTs severely disrupts pre-trained latent distributions. To address this, we propose TrioPose, a native pose-driven framework built upon the SD3.5M architecture. Specifically, we introduce a Triple-Stream Pose-Aware DiT (TSPA-DiT) that treats pose as an independent modality. It employs layer-wise activation and zero-initialized dual-residual injection to smoothly enforce geometric constraints while preserving pre-trained latent stability. To resolve severe multi-instance occlusions, we design a Learnable Relational Bias Mask that categorizes topological connectivity into fine-grained physical states, mapping them into continuous attention soft constraints to effectively decouple inter-instance interference. Furthermore, a Pose-Guided Spatial Loss Weighting strategy modulates the native diffusion objective using heatmap-derived error maps, focusing anatomical supervision strictly on distortion-prone regions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TrioPose achieves state-of-the-art performance across challenging benchmarks, including Human-Art, CrowdPose, and OCHuman. Notably, it attains an AP of 64.33 on Human-Art, representing a 30% improvement over prior arts, while setting new standards for visual fidelity and text-image semantic alignment in complex multi-human generation.
