Abstract

Generating complete, coherent, and usable 3D indoor scenes from natural language requires strong design intelligence: the ability to design high-quality scenes and critique their quality. However, existing approaches either rely on general-purpose models lacking domain-specific design experience or learn from static scenes. In this work, we introduce Scene-Designer, an agentic framework that learns design intelligence through complementary design and critique experiences. We construct two datasets: Scene-OTA-35K, which provides Observation--Thought--Action supervision for learning scene design and efficient error correction, and Scene-OTC-15K, which provides Observation--Thought--Critic supervision for learning scene quality critique across physical validity, functional correctness, and layout coherence. Based on these experiences, we propose Scene-GRPO, a Critic-guided GRPO framework that improves design decisions and reduces unnecessary trial-and-error corrections. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Scene-Designer achieves superior performance in physical validity, functional correctness, and layout coherence, while the learned Scene-Critic significantly outperforms general-purpose models in scene critique. Moreover, test-time Critic guidance further improves scene generation, showing that the Critic can provide useful guidance beyond training. Additional analysis suggests a trend of mutual enhancement between scene design and critique abilities.

ThinkBLOX: 3D Indoor Scene Generation with Progressive Reasoning

While traditional graphics methods often synthesize 3D indoor scenes autoregressively or hierarchically, recent vision-language model (VLM)-based generators predominantly adopt a one-shot paradigm where the full layout is planned at once. This one-shot approach often requires global re-optimization or complete reconstruction during interactive editing (e.g., inserting or moving objects) and can lead to physically or semantically poorly organized arrangements. To address these challenges, we propose ThinkBLOX, a VLM-based progressive reasoning framework that iteratively designs and refines 3D scenes. ThinkBLOX treats layout generation as a state-conditioned, step-by-step reasoningand-action process. To power this, we construct the ThinkBLOX-Data-200K dataset, containing 224,757 procedural placement pairs annotated with multi-view scene context, explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) rationales, and structured JSON layouts. Through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on this dataset, the VLM learns to bridge the reasoning-action gap under incremental updates. Furthermore, recognizing that scene synthesis is inherently a multisolution task where SFT suffers from reward conflict, we introduce Tier-Decoupled GDPO. This reinforcement learning scheme organizes heterogeneous rewards into distinct tiers, stabilizing policy optimization across physical validity, semantic plausibility, and reasoning-action consistency. Extensive experiments show that ThinkBLOX significantly outperforms recent one-shot and iterative baselines in physical plausibility, semantic alignment, and interactive editability. Additionally, we show that it supports diverse applications, including both global and local generation and rearrangement of 3D scenes.

FuncRoom-Agent: Sequential Feed-Forward 3D Functional Indoor Scene Generation

We introduce Function-Room Generation, a new indoor 3D scene generation setting that creates rooms supporting explicit functional goals rather than merely visually plausible layouts. Existing agentic and executable methods improve controllability, but often depend on costly test-time generate--evaluate--revise loops, making functional room generation slow and computationally expensive. We address this challenge with three technical contributions. First, we design a recursive domain-specific language to effectively organize the hierarchical object compositions required by functional rooms, from room structure and major furniture to dense support-surface and nested small objects. It represents rooms as staged executable programs with explicit geometric and functional relations. Second, we propose a sequential feed-forward scene construction framework that distills recursive construction traces into a scene construction expert. At inference time, the expert writes executable DSL code stage by stage, and a deterministic executor directly instantiates each stage without teacher agents, online critics, or iterative repair. Third, we introduce ScenePRM, an execution-grounded process reward framework that improves the expert through reinforcement learning with functional, geometric, relational, and future-constructability feedback. We further establish a function-oriented benchmark and show state-of-the-art performance on both general indoor scene generation and function-room generation, achieving stronger functional completeness, relation correctness, geometric executability, and generation efficiency.

ScenePilot: Grow-and-Repair Policy for Text-Driven 3D Indoor Scene Generation

Text-driven 3D indoor scene generation has advanced from dataset-bound layout modeling to open-vocabulary synthesis with large language and vision-language models. Yet existing methods remain limited: one-pass generators often yield geometrically invalid layouts, heavy post-hoc optimization is costly and unstable, and prompt-only planners lack reusable layout priors for functional grouping and object relations. We propose ScenePilot, a retrieval-augmented Grow-and-Repair framework that formulates scene generation as prior-guided incremental growth with learned rectification. Given a prompt, the Hierarchical Retrieval-Augmented Planning (HRAP) module retrieves room-, group-, and anchor-level layout priors to support functional group planning. A text-driven base generator then inserts object groups sequentially, while the Reinforcement Multimodal Repair (RMR) module performs lightweight local correction after each insertion and a final global repair after completion. To train this policy, we construct SceneReverse-17k, a repair-trajectory dataset built by perturbing high-quality 3D scenes in position, rotation, and scale, then using inverse operations as executable rectification targets. The policy predicts structured move--rotate--scale actions from rendered views, scene state, retrieved priors, and edit history. By combining HRAP with RMR, ScenePilot offers an efficient alternative to one-shot generation and heavy full-scene optimization, improving physical plausibility, functional coherence, and controllability while preserving diversity.
