Abstract

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled them to act as autonomous agents, creating and editing 3D models via code or direct software manipulation. In practical workflows, these models must infer object shapes, materials, spatial layouts, and lighting from diverse references while strictly following instructions to reconstruct, modify, or design 3D content. However, existing benchmarks provide limited coverage of such open-ended requests across real-world scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce BlenderWorld, the first comprehensive benchmark dedicated to evaluating frontier models on realistic 3D creation tasks. BlenderWorld comprises 223 tasks spanning architecture, products, natural environments, and scientific visualization, driven by text, image, video, and structured specification inputs. To rigorously assess these complex deliverables, we establish a unified evaluation protocol: we render the submitted Blender projects from multiple viewpoints and evaluate them against 2,651 task-specific binary rubrics alongside holistic visual quality scores. Benchmarking thirteen frontier models reveals that GPT-6-Astra achieves the highest overall fused score of 79.9, followed by Opus-5 (73.0) and GPT-5.6-Sol (67.7). Ultimately, our findings reveal a critical bottleneck: while current models can parse broad instructions, they still profoundly struggle with fine-grained 3D spatial coherence and accurate structural reproduction in Blender, leaving substantial headroom for future 3D-native agentics.

3DHarnessBench: Probing Agentic 3D-to-Code Capabilities of Frontier Vision-Language Models

We introduce 3DHarnessBench, a benchmark that evaluates the agentic ability of frontier vision-language models (VLMs) to recover 3D geometry as Blender Python code from a variety of inputs. Unlike previous frameworks that prompt the VLMs with a fixed input (e.g., a single rendering or a text description), 3DHarnessBench evaluates four separate harness settings that progressively enable active agentic exploration, facilitated by recent Blender MCP functionality. Our hierarchy from Single-view, Multi-view, Active Visual (arbitrary viewpoint access), and Full 3D Interaction (complete access to the target object through Blender function calls) probes the models' abilities in both visual perception and active inference, tool calling, and self-correction. We observe that the ability of all frontier models to recover 3D geometry improves significantly with richer function call access, although the improvements are strongly model-dependent, revealing highly uneven agentic 3D-to-code capabilities. We will release the benchmark, code, outputs, and agent trajectories for reproducible 3D evaluation.

VibeWorlding: Can Multimodal Agents Construct 3D Open Worlds End-to-End?

Constructing an interactive 3D open world from a user query is important. However, existing methods are primarily evaluated on idealized, simple queries, making it difficult to systematically analyze and compare how multimodal agents understand user intent, use 3D tools, and reason over textual and visual 3D world information. To this end, we propose VibeWorlding, a unified framework for benchmarking and training vibe worlding agents: a multimodal agent that can autonomously infer user intent, plan scene layout, invoke 3D tools, and reflect on the multimodal feedback in a multi-turn agent-environment interaction process. To achieve this, we first build VWE-BENCH, a benchmark of 2,616 high-quality 3D assets, 323 human-annotated seed 3D worlds, and 6,828 reverse-synthesized multimodal user queries, split into verified queries with ground-truth and unverified queries with carefully designed rubrics. Moreover, we develop VibeWorlding-Gym, a joint multimodal RL post-training framework that integrates (1) a sandbox environment unifying asset retrieval, editing, and image rendering as MCP tools, and (2) a rubric-based verifier that combines physical feasibility and intent fulfillment verification, supporting both fair model evaluation and scalable multimodal RL reward service. Our experiments show that current frontier MLLMs are far from solving the vibe worlding agent task, with even GPT-5.5 and Qwen3.8-Max reaching below 60% success rate, and trace the bottleneck to precise 3D world editing. We further find that RL training can ease this weakness and enable open-source MLLMs to even surpass closed-source frontiers: our VibeWorlder-8B is comparable to frontier MLLMs, while our flagship VibeWorlder-30B-A3B attains the best overall Pass@1 among all evaluated models.

Grounding Generative Verification in 3D Content

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) and 3D generation have expanded 3D understanding and synthesis. However, beyond visual fidelity, task-specific correctness grounded in 3D evidence remains a major challenge. We argue that building reliable 3D systems requires not only stronger generation and reasoning, but also verification feedback that identifies unmet requirements and explains their violations, allowing systems to reflect on and refine their outputs. Such feedback must integrate multi-view observations and distinguish genuine inconsistencies from projection-dependent appearances. We make three contributions. First, we introduce 3DVerifierBench, a benchmark spanning 10 tasks that evaluates decisions, rejection explanations, and responses to controlled changes in specifications and candidates. A human study reveals a 21.6 percentage-point gap between humans and the strongest tested model, GPT-6 Astra, while explanation-aware analysis exposes weaknesses in rejection reliability. Second, we analyze verification across fine-grained factual categories, exposing errors in values and target binding. We develop a scalable pipeline combining multi-view fact extraction, controlled 3D editing, and native annotations to produce 14,126 training examples with contradiction explanations and linked counterfactuals. Third, we examine how verification could support 3D generation through candidate selection and recursive refinement. In human-labeled sixteen-candidate pools, oracle selection improves complete factual success from 26.7% to 90.0%. In a separate eight-input study, human-guided recursive refinement satisfies all seven requirements for every input, compared with three under parallel Oracle@8. Together, our benchmark, analysis, and data pipeline establish a foundation for models to reflect on 3D content through reliable verification feedback.
