Abstract
Text-guided 3D building generation holds tremendous application potential, yet existing generative models typically output inseparable single meshes or non-interactive rendered representations. While procedural modeling can generate editable buildings with hierarchical structures, rule authoring is laborious, and even with the aid of large language models (LLMs), it remains challenging to effectively solve procedural rules under geometric constraints. In this paper, we propose ProxyBuild, a novel hybrid framework for structured building generation. We introduce the Mesh-Anchored Procedural Proxy (MAPP) as a novel intermediate representation, which tightly anchors building components onto geometric shells, thereby decoupling the generation task into two phases: proxy prediction and proxy-to-asset instantiation. First, we construct a building dataset with MAPP annotations to train our designed face-edge bigraph encoder. By explicitly modeling the feature interactions of topological elements on heterogeneous mesh graphs, this encoder accurately infers the semantic roles of faces and edges. Subsequently, conditioned on textual styles and attribute parameters parsed by LLMs, we accomplish high-precision asset retrieval and assembly by integrating a spatial placement logic with hard constraints. Extensive experiments show that ProxyBuild not only significantly mitigates common issues in building generation such as over-smoothing, component collisions, and structural corruptions, but also accurately parses semantic-free shells from diverse sources. Outperforming prior baselines across various metrics, our method can robustly generate structurally clear, detail-rich, and post-editable 3D buildings from text, thereby providing a reliable and interactive content foundation for downstream applications such as virtual reality and digital twins.

Despite advances in indoor scene generation, synthesizing coherent building exteriors consistent with generated interiors remains largely unexplored. Existing methods can generate floor plans and wall layouts but typically stop at a structural shell, lacking stylistically consistent facades and roofs. Completing these exteriors is challenging because the footprint, wall geometry, and opening semantics must remain fixed-constraints that unconstrained generative models often violate. We introduce ShellMaker, a language-guided exterior completion framework that operates under these structural constraints. Given a building scaffold and a text style prompt, ShellMaker generates a complete exterior mesh with PBR materials by combining parametric roof generation, LLM-based part-aware prompt refinement, joint wall-roof material retrieval, and geometry-aware assembly. Operating on a format agnostic scaffold representation, ShellMaker generalizes to indoor generators, CityGML, and CAD inputs, while maintaining structural consistency and improving architectural coherence over retrieval and unconstrained generative baselines.

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

Text-to-3D generation has advanced rapidly, yet state-of-the-art models, encompassing both optimization-based and feed-forward architectures, still face two fundamental limitations. First, they struggle with coarse semantic alignment, often failing to capture fine-grained prompt details. Second, they lack robust 3D spatial understanding, leading to geometric inconsistencies and catastrophic failures in part assembly and spatial relationships. To address these challenges, we propose VLM3D, a general framework that repurposes large vision-language models (VLMs) as powerful, differentiable semantic and spatial critics. Our core contribution is a dual-query critic signal derived from the VLM's Yes or No log-odds, which assesses both semantic fidelity and geometric coherence. We demonstrate the generality of this guidance signal across two distinct paradigms: (1) As a reward objective for optimization-based pipelines, VLM3D significantly outperforms existing methods on standard benchmarks. (2) As a test-time guidance module for feed-forward pipelines, it actively steers the iterative sampling process of SOTA native 3D models to correct severe spatial errors. VLM3D establishes a principled and generalizable path to inject the VLM's rich, language-grounded understanding of both semantics and space into diverse 3D generative pipelines.
