3D Generative Models

We propose the first compression approach for image-to-shape Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) that substantially reduces model size while preserving geometric fidelity. Despite remarkable progress in 3D shape generation, large DiT-based models remain computationally prohibitive in resource-constrained settings. Furthermore, it is difficult to directly transfer existing diffusion model compression strategies developed for different domains to 3D generation, and prior 3D efficiency approaches focus primarily on inference speed rather than backbone compression. To address this limitation, we build a geometry-aware compression framework tailored to image-to-shape DiTs. Guided by the observation that 3D DiT layers exhibit non-uniform importance for geometry synthesis, we introduce a vitality-guided framework integrating structured pruning, adaptive quantization, and targeted fine-tuning. Our method achieves up to 66% model-size reduction across state-of-the-art image-to-3D models while maintaining synthesis fidelity comparable to full-sized counterparts. This highlights the potential of our framework as a plug-and-play solution for efficient 3D shape generation across diverse models.

Creating photorealistic, animatable 3D human avatars from monocular images still largely depends on Linear Blend Skinning (LBS) and parametric body models, which constrain expressivity and often introduce artifacts due to imperfect fitting. We propose LUNA, an LBS-free universal neural animation model that directly maps multiple 2D controls like images, keypoints, sketches, and unseen characters into 3D Gaussian deformations, bypassing explicit body fitting. At its core, a transformer-based motion regressor disentangles global rigid motion from fine-grained local dynamics to capture both coherent movement and subtle non-rigid effects. To resolve the inherent ambiguity of 2D-to-3D lifting while scaling beyond fitted datasets, we introduce hybrid supervision that distills soft structural priors from an LBS teacher and a loss that supports training on both limited fitted data and large in-the-wild unlabeled videos. Extensive experiments show LUNA achieves competitive visual fidelity compared to LBS-based approaches, while delivering realistic human motion and zero-shot cross-identity generalization across diverse driving modalities. To the best of our knowledge, LUNA is the first end-to-end 3D animatable model that supports implicit 2D driving.

A pivotal step in autonomous driving simulation involves inserting foreground vehicles with predefined trajectories into simulated scenes. This process enhances scene diversity and facilitates the creation of various corner cases for testing and improving autonomous driving models. However, existing methods often rely on pre-reconstructed 3D assets, which frequently lead to lighting inconsistencies between the inserted foreground and the background. Moreover, the reliance on limited, manually-curated 3D assets hinders large-scale deployment. To address these challenges, we propose DriveWeaver, a novel framework for controllable vehicle insertion in autonomous driving simulation. Specifically, for a masked target insertion area, DriveWeaver performs video inpainting conditioned on vehicle point clouds to generate high-quality, temporally consistent vehicles. This video-inpainting-based approach ensures seamless blending between the foreground and background, while the readily available point cloud conditions enable superior generalization. To support long-term generation, we further design a global-to-local hierarchical inpainting strategy, ensuring the consistent identity and appearance of the inserted vehicles. Meanwhile, we extract explicit 3D Gaussian representations of the inserted vehicles through an urban reconstruction pipeline to enable real-time rendering for autonomous driving simulation. Extensive experiments across diverse datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing baselines in visual realism and geometric consistency, providing a robust tool for scalable autonomous driving scene augmentation.

The rise of home-deployed embodied AI systems is driving a growing need for fast, metric 3D reconstruction of residential spaces to support navigation, interaction, and long-horizon task execution. However, the commonly used pinhole-camera 3D reconstruction pipelines struggle to model large indoor residences efficiently due to their limited field of view, to which achieving full coverage across multiple rooms often requires thousands of images and incurs drift from long chains of incremental alignment. In this work, we present CasaMaestro (Spanish words meaning house'' and master''), a feedforward model that can take only twenty to fifty sparse multi-view indoor panoramas as input and directly predicts metric depth along with camera poses, allowing fast point-cloud reconstruction of the entire house with full coverage. CasaMaestro is the first model that supports house-scale reconstruction with multi-view panoramas. Experiments show that CasaMaestro can robustly provide high quality results in both real-world and synthetic scenes, which can serve as a strong foundation for acquiring house-scale 3D indoor assets to be applied in close-loop simulation.

In the verification of in-vehicle cameras, simulation technology using virtual spaces has advanced, enabling pre-evaluation of false detections and missed detections in various scenarios. However, discrepancies in the scale of the object being verified between the virtual and real environments can lead to a decrease in camera recognition performance. For traffic signs installed at high altitudes, distance measurement using LiDAR or stereo cameras is difficult, requiring size estimation from monocular images. This paper proposes a method for estimating the scale of an object by decomposing it into multiple structural elements and integrating external knowledge regarding design rules, geometric relationships, and conventional dimensions. Specifically, this method detects each component from a monocular image and estimates the size of each component by considering its structural relationships and dimensional consistency with surrounding elements. Furthermore, it generates a 3D asset of the object by reconstructing the estimated components. This method makes it possible to place 3D assets with a scale approximating the real environment within a digital twin space and is expected to contribute to improving the verification accuracy of in-vehicle cameras for autonomous driving in virtual environments.

Gaussian splatting (GS) has garnered significant attention in VR/AR and digital content creation due to its explicit parameterization and efficient rendering capabilities. However, existing GS-based methods for deformable objects face two key limitations: (i) illumination is erroneously baked into textures, causing physically inconsistent responses under dynamic deformations and lighting changes; (ii) snapshot-based reconstruction restricts post-reconstruction material editing. To address these challenges, we propose Deformable and Relightable GS (DR-GS), a unified Gaussian framework that integrates physically-based inverse rendering, relighting, and deformation-aware manipulation. Through explicitly disentangling geometry, illumination, and material representations, DR-GS overcomes the limitations of static snapshots, resolving unrealistic appearance under varying conditions while enabling post-reconstruction parameter editing. Extensive experiments show that DR-GS achieves leading visual quality across static reconstruction, dynamic deformation, and relighting, reliably preserving reflections and specular highlights on glossy surfaces. It further establishes a fully decoupled geometry-illumination-material pipeline, enabling high-quality 3D asset creation and comprehensive post-editing.

We present Home3D 1.0, a modular image-to-3D generation system that produces high-quality 3D assets from a single reference image, targeting interior design and e-commerce applications. Given a photograph of a furniture or decor item, the system outputs a mesh with physically-based rendering (PBR) materials, and the mesh can be decomposed into material-specific components. The pipeline is organized into four tightly coupled modules: Geometry reconstructs a watertight mesh through latent SDF modelling with a geometry VAE and a coarse-to-fine flow-matching DiT; Texture predicts multiview albedo observations, reprojects them onto the mesh, and completes unseen surface regions with a 3D texture field; Material uses MatWeaver to obtain component masks through video-based segmentation and UV-space voting, then retrieves and bakes PBR maps from a curated material library through hierarchical multi-modal matching; and Parts generates material-editable semantic part meshes with a PartVAE and PartDiT, decoding multi-head part-specific SDF fields in one pass. Each module is evaluated independently with dedicated metrics, highlighting both the current system capability and the remaining gaps toward broader deployment.

Image-based virtual try-on has emerged as a compelling task in e-commerce and augmented reality, yet existing methods struggle to simultaneously preserve fine garment semantics and adapt to diverse person body geometries under large clothing-body deformations. We present ModaFlow, a modality-aware flow-matching based framework for high-fidelity virtual try-on that achieves precise alignment between textual descriptions and garment appearance. Unlike prior methods that treat multimodal conditions uniformly, ModaFlow introduces a modality-aware guidance scheme: visual garment embeddings extracted by a pretrained image prompt adapter provide deterministic, persistent structural guidance, while textual embeddings generated from garment descriptions are controlled via classifier-free guidance (CFG) with adaptive scaling and zero-initialized velocity. To further enhance flow field accuracy, we propose two regularization losses, cosine similarity and perceptual flow discrimination, that jointly improve directional consistency and perceptual realism of the velocity field. Additionally, a mask manipulation strategy stochastically samples among box, transparent, and relaxed masks during training, simulating diverse occlusion scenarios and enabling robust inference under unpaired settings where only a box mask is available. Experiments show that ModaFlow achieves state-of-the-art results in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, reducing FID by approximately 30% on paired and 20% on unpaired benchmarks.

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) for 3D generation is now established across a number of works, but most existing pipelines optimise explicit surface representations, often by converting radiance fields into meshes and training heavily on surface-supervised data. We instead fine-tune a pretrained 3D-aware generative model directly from a learned reward over radiance-field density ($σ$) values, with no externally supplied mesh or shape prior. The reward model requires no pretraining, trains easily on a small set of preference samples, and yields robust improvement in 3D geometry. Working on an unconditional 3D-aware face GAN (EG3D), our reward reads the continuous 3D density field of the neural radiance field (NeRF) directly and supplies a geometry-only learning signal, requiring neither text conditioning, mesh extraction, nor multi-view rendering. A density-consistency constraint keeps the 2D appearance qualitatively similar while the geometry is reshaped, at a measurable but bounded distributional cost (FID-50k rises from 4.09 to 6.66): the fine-tuned generator, trained from the preferences of a single annotator as a proof of concept, produces face geometries preferred by users in 74.4% of pairwise comparisons.

Recent advances in 3D mesh generation have enabled the creation of visually realistic assets. However, much of their visual fidelity is encoded in textures rather than geometry. When such assets are fabricated using monochromatic materials, texture information is largely lost, causing visually important details to disappear even when the original geometry is faithfully preserved. A key challenge is that the geometric perturbations required to recover texture-dependent appearance cues often introduce sharp local features and high-frequency surface structures, which may increase stress concentration and fabrication risk. In this paper, we present GenMF, an appearance-oriented geometry refinement framework for monochromatic fabrication. GenMF transforms texture-dependent visual cues into geometry-induced shading effects and formulates geometry refinement as a balance between appearance preservation and fabrication-oriented robustness. To discourage structurally and narrow the gap between simulation and physical manufacturing, we further introduce a differentiable stress-aware regularization based on a learned thermal-stress predictor. Experimental results demonstrate that GenMF significantly improves appearance preservation under monochromatic rendering while reducing stress concentration under a consistent thermo-mechanical simulation setting. Physical 3D printing examples further show that the refined geometries preserve more recognizable visual details while remaining suitable for fabrication. These results suggest that appearance-aware geometry refinement provides an effective bridge between generated 3D assets and fabrication-ready monochromatic objects.

4D generation aims to animate 3D objects with realistic motion, holding great promise for applications. Existing methods typically decouple 3D asset generation from motion synthesis: acquire a 3D asset, prepare a structural representation like mesh and Gaussians, and synthesize motion from text or video control signals. However, dense mesh and Gaussian representations incur high computational costs and are prone to temporal artifacts, limiting animation quality and duration to only short clips. Meanwhile, text lacks fine-grained spatial and temporal details such as timing and coordination, while video entangles motion with appearance and background. Together, these limitations result in 4D animations that suffer from poor temporal consistency, wrong identification, and limited controllability. We address these issues with \texttt{ACT}, a trajectory-conditioned framework for topology-general skeletal animation. ACT uses skeletons as a compact structured and compute-efficient representation and 3D point trajectories from monocular video as explicit motion guidance which provide detailed motion patterns without appearance entanglement. At the core of ACT is a Routed Trajectory Injector, which achieves accurate and robust trajectory-to-joint transfer through three complementary designs: prior-guided hard routing establishes precise skeleton-to-mesh correspondences, global routing enables holistic joint-track interaction for full-body motion awareness, and local windowed cross-attention enforces fine-grained temporal alignment, improving micro-timing and reducing motion misalignment across varying motion rates. Extensive experiments demonstrate that \texttt{ACT} significantly outperforms existing methods in fidelity and temporal consistency.

Sparse voxel representation has emerged as a scalable foundation for image-to-3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) generation, yet current methods struggle to preserve high-frequency visual details of input images due to two structural bottlenecks. First, they adopt discriminative 2D features optimized for semantic abstraction to construct sparse voxel latents, which suppress reconstructive cues and induce a representation bottleneck. Second, in the generation stage, standard diffusion transformers lack effective mechanisms to align dense 2D image tokens with sparse 3D voxel latents, resulting in a cross-modal correspondence bottleneck. To address these issues, we propose FLUX3D, a scalable image-to-3DGS framework that boosts both representation learning and cross-modal alignment during generation. We first revisit 2D feature selection for sparse-voxel-based 3D representation learning, propose Diffusion-Aligned Structured Latents (DA-SLAT) and couple it with a decoder-only architecture to improve 3DGS reconstruction fidelity. We also design a sparse-structure-aware diffusion framework, which integrates the Sparse-structure Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (SMDiT) and Modal-Aware Rotary Positional Embedding (MARoPE) to achieve geometry-agnostic 2D-3D alignment. Extensive benchmark experiments demonstrate that FLUX3D yields substantial improvements in appearance fidelity and significantly outperforms all state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in generating high-quality 3DGS assets.

We introduce FiCA, a Feed-forward, instant Gaussian Codec Avatar generation pipeline that creates lifelike avatars from a single portrait image. Generating a photorealistic and drivable avatar from just a single image is significantly challenging due to the limited visual information available to accurately infer the 3D appearance and geometry of human heads. To address this, we develop a novel system that combines human-centric vision foundation models with a diffusion model. This system is designed to fully exploit partial visual observations to generate lifelike human avatars. Our proposed diffusion model learns a generative mapping from these partial observations to complete and authentic 3D mesh reconstruction. Additionally, we introduce a feed-forward mesh refinement network that enhances the fidelity and identity preservation of the generated avatars, eliminating the need for person-specific test-time optimization. By leveraging a universal prior model that decodes a generated mesh into a set of 3D Gaussians, we generate a photorealistic 3D Gaussian avatar, capable of being driven with novel expressions in real-time. Our experiments demonstrate that the avatars generated by our feed-forward approach faithfully represent diverse identities and surpass the visual quality of avatars produced by recent competing methods.

Recent breakthroughs in 3D generation have advanced notably with the development of text-to-image diffusion model. However, existing methods remain two practical challenges: (1) They primarily generate single 3D object, but struggle to generate multi-object compositional 3D assets due to the lack of the modeling for Gaussian primitives in reasonable interactions. (2) They often suffer from cross-view inconsistency during 3D optimization, as Score Distillation Sampling inherently performs on each single view, inevitably resulting in cross-view hallucinations. To solve above issues, we propose I2C-3D, a novel optimization-based method to generate multi-view consistent compositional 3D assets with reasonable interactions. Specifically, we propose an Inclusive Interactive Collisions strategy to guide Gaussian primitives appearing in reasonable interaction regions naturally, thereby ensuring objects in the compositional scene interact in a physically plausible and visually coherent way. Additionally, to enhance multi-view consistency, Multi-View Adaptive Score Distillation Sampling is devised to distill multi-view consistency prior and layout prior from pre-trained diffusion model by modulating attention map of instance token and spatial token across viewpoints. Benefiting from above elaborate designs, I2C-3D not only generates high-fidelity multi-view consistent compositional 3D assets but also supports 3D editing flexibly, facilitating complex scene generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate our I2C-3D outperforms existing methods in generation quality and multi-view consistency.

Generating explicit textured 3D city assets from a single satellite image is important for urban simulation and digital twins. Most prior methods, however, learn 3D proxies optimized for rendering street-view images or videos over prescribed viewpoints and trajectories, rather than producing explicit 3D assets. Our previous framework, Sat2City, took a first step toward this goal with task-specific cascaded sparse-voxel latent diffusion conditioned on satellite-derived height maps. However, it relied on synthetic data and did not condition appearance on the satellite input. To address these limitations, we present Sat2City v2, a framework for generating explicit textured 3D city assets directly from real satellite images. We first construct a real-world dataset of 16,027 geographically matched but weakly aligned satellite-image-textured-mesh pairs, comprising 14,651 training pairs and 1,376 held-out test pairs. Building on this dataset, Sat2City v2 uses a native structured-latent 3D prior pretrained on curated assets to anchor geospatial adaptation to its asset manifold. We empirically demonstrate that weakly aligned satellite images and regional textured 3D meshes can support asset-level conditional generation: learned attention lets satellite tokens steer geometry generation without calibrated pixel-to-surface correspondence, while the generated geometry anchors satellite-guided material synthesis. Sat2City v2 ranks first among the evaluated baselines on every reported metric across geometry accuracy, generative mesh quality, and satellite-to-asset feature alignment.

Text and image conditioned 3D models now generate convincing assets, but they still offer little direct control over the space an object should occupy or avoid. In authoring, this spatial intent is often known before generation starts. A chair should fit a seating envelope, a prop should leave clearance for motion, or a part should expose a contact surface. Prompts and image views are poor carriers for such constraints, requiring the need for an explicit control interface. We present Arbor, a trainable attachment for text conditioned latent 3D generation. Arbor introduces constraint meshes as a native 3D control interface. The interface uses hull regions where geometry should exist, avoidance regions that should remain empty, and touch regions the object should contact. Unlike completion or whole object scaffold control, these meshes are not target evidence. They are local typed requirements and can include regions where no surface should appear. Arbor keeps this signal as geometry by converting constraint meshes into tokens and learning a routed attachment inside a frozen denoiser. Each latent region can therefore receive the part of the constraint that matters for its spatial location. We evaluate Arbor on automatic and artist curated control benchmarks with hull, avoidance, and touch constraints, and compare the metric trends to a user preference study. Even without dedicated compliance losses, Arbor improves constraint obedience while preserving object quality and variation under fixed constraints.

UV parameterization is a fundamental step in 3D content creation, yet producing production-ready UV layouts remains challenging due to the gap between geometric distortion objectives and the stylistic preferences of professional artists. While classical methods optimize handcrafted energy functions, artist-authored UVs exhibit structural patterns such as straightened seams, axis-aligned islands, and flexible interior deformation, properties that are difficult to explicitly formulate. In this work, we present DreamUV, an end-to-end learning framework that formulates UV unwrapping as a generative Flow Matching problem. Rather than predicting a single optimal parameterization, DreamUV learns a mesh-conditioned transport process that maps noise samples to a distribution of artist-like UV layouts. To reflect real-world authoring practices, we introduce a boundary-aware training strategy that prioritizes seam geometry, and a Model-in-the-Loop Finetuning(MITL) scheme that explicitly accounts for discretization errors during sampling and stabilizes transport dynamics under heterogeneous supervision. We evaluate DreamUV on a large-scale dataset of professionally authored UV layouts. Experiments demonstrate that our method produces significantly straighter boundaries and tighter axis-aligned islands than both classical and learning-based baselines, while maintaining competitive distortion metrics. Qualitative results and a user study with professional artists further confirm that DreamUV generates UV layouts that are not only valid, but aligned with practical production requirements.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has achieved state-of-the-art photorealistic rendering, but the representation gap prevents these assets from being physically interactive. Production-grade physics engines do not understand the 3DGS representation, while prior physics-for-3DGS methods are monolithic silos. These prior works are fundamentally limited, demonstrating only object-centric physics in isolated environments, such as on an ideal plane. They are incapable of interacting with complex static collision geometry or heterogeneous assets. We propose a novel framework that, for the first time, bridges this gap by enabling 3DGS assets to participate in scene-level, heterogeneous, multi-solver physical simulations. Our core contribution is a Representation Abstraction Framework that translates all diverse assets, including 3DGS, virtual meshes, and fluids, into a unified physical particle set. This abstraction is key to enabling complex behaviors, such as the non-rigid deformation of 3DGS assets, within a unified physics pipeline. This particle set, along with the static scene collision boundaries derived from scene capture, is processed within a solver-agnostic physics kernel. The physical results are then mapped back to drive each asset's specific visual reconstruction. This architecture unlocks capabilities impossible with prior art. We demonstrate complex, two-way interactions between deformable 3DGS assets, standard CG assets such as fluids and meshes, and large-scale captured static environments, showcasing realistic coupled phenomena that were previously unattainable.

Creating 3D visual illusions, a single 3D mesh that reveals entirely different semantics from various viewing angles, is a fascinating but tough challenge. Existing optimization-based methods are slow and can produce oversaturated colors. In contrast, naive stitching approaches fail to produce geometrically coherent objects. This results in visible unnatural seams and semantic leaks. In this paper, we present a fast and training-free framework for generating text-driven 3D visual illusions. Our approach decouples the generation into two stages. First, we propose a cross-space dual-branch denoising process. This process dynamically decodes 3D latents into voxel space for CLIP-guided orientation alignment and Signed Distance Field (SDF) blending, which ensures seamless geometric fusion. Second, we introduce a view-conditioned texture synthesis module that projects and aggregates view-specific 2D diffusion priors onto the fused geometry. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method generates highly realistic, dual-semantic 3D illusions in just 3-5 minutes. It significantly outperforms existing methods in geometric integrity, semantic recognizability, and efficiency. Project page: https://siang1105.github.io/JanusMesh.github.io/

A companion study established a de-biased, cross-model VLM-as-3D-judge that reliably ranks single-image-to-3D mesh quality where cheap geometry and CLIP proxies fall short. This paper asks: can that judge's preferences specialize a strong open generator, TRELLIS, on one asset class (furniture), cheaply and without human labels? Taking the judge from ranking to optimization is where the work lives. Pushing a VLM judge into the training and evaluation loop exposes failure modes ranking never triggered, so our contribution is an optimization-grade hardening of the judge: a training judge (Qwen2.5-VL-7B) held distinct from an evaluation judge (InternVL3-8B) to break circularity; position-bias correction; and fixes for three failure modes (image overload, geometry-hiding splat renders, and reference-free judging that rewards clean-but-wrong outputs), with calibration evidence (clear-gap win-rate 0.83-1.0; base-vs-base ~0.5). Using this protocol as an independent evaluator, and working only from public models and data with lightweight parameter-efficient adaptation, we find our methods match the strong base rather than exceed it. Independent base samples carry essentially no learnable preference (0.94 order-flip rate), so signal must be engineered by quality-contrastive construction. Across six adaptation methods, two input regimes, and a severity sweep, the most targeted - conditioner repair under severe degradation - reaches parity (0.50) with the base, while no method clears the >=65% win-rate target. The result is mechanistic: clean inputs saturate the judge, flow-DIT fine-tuning washes out through the sampler, and conditioning repair is the locus that moves geometry. Win-rates are directional at n=8 objects. Matching a strong public-data base with cheap adaptation is itself informative: exceeding it needs more than lightweight PEFT on public data, and the judge protocol is reusable.

Recovering complete 3D representations of objects from few casual image captures remains a significant challenge. Recent 3D generative models, particularly those based on Flow-Matching (FM), can synthesize high-quality textured assets; however, they often suffer from ''synthetic bias'' where learned priors override observational evidence, alongside a lack of alignment with the observed instance. Conversely, optimization-based methods like 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) provide high fidelity on visible surfaces but fail to reason about unobserved geometry. In this paper, we present FlowObject, a framework that reformulates sparse-view 3D reconstruction as a training-free, guided inverse problem. Our approach applies a dual-space guidance strategy to steer the Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) trajectory of a flow-matching model, enabling the completion of unseen regions through learned generative priors while enforcing strict consistency with real-world observations. By integrating a 3DGS refinement stage, FlowObject further bridges the gap between ''synthetic-looking'' generative outputs and photorealistic reconstructions. Comprehensive benchmarks on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that current state-of-the-art methods often struggle to achieve geometric completeness and observational consistency simultaneously, especially under severe occlusions. In contrast, our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art generative models and optimization-based frameworks in both geometric completeness and view-dependent appearance fidelity.

Segmenting 3D assets into meaningful regions remains challenging, especially when segmentation criteria are application-dependent and require user control. We present a human-in-the-loop pipeline for generating a segmented 2D parameterized atlas from a 3D model for interactive media, game, and XR content workflows. Our method first selects a compact set of rendered views using a greedy set cover strategy over sampled surface points, and then supports interactive segmentation of these views with SAM~2 and Label Studio. The resulting masks are back-projected onto the model's UV parameterization to produce a unified segmented atlas that supports downstream production tasks such as segment-wise material assignment, style transfer, and semantic labeling. We assess the pipeline through a demonstration-based technical evaluation on eight cultural heritage objects. The results show that the approach can generate usable segmented atlases across diverse geometries while revealing recurring sources of manual correction, particularly fine structures, cavities, and weak appearance boundaries.

Simulation enables scalable robot data collection, but raw 3D assets provide only geometry, lacking the semantic, interactive, and physical knowledge needed to specify where and how robots should act. In this work, we present AnnotateAnything, a general automatic annotation framework that converts passive 3D assets into manipulation-ready assets with structured, diverse, and executable manipulation labels. AnnotateAnything is built around two complementary pipelines. First, a unified visual-language annotation pipeline using vision-language reasoning to infer object semantics, interaction constraints, and 3D-grounded cues, providing human-prior guidance for identifying meaningful interaction regions. Second, a fully automatic and massively parallel physics annotation pipeline grounds these priors in each asset's geometry and physical constraints through candidate generation, geometry optimization and trajectory generation. This pipeline produces diverse and executable action annotations, including grasp poses, dexterous contacts, articulation waypoints, insertion directions, hanging affordances, and navigation targets. Using the generated annotations, we further build an asynchronous parallel simulation data-collection system across diverse objects, tasks, and robot embodiments. Experiments demonstrate that AnnotateAnything achieves superior annotation efficiency, data-collection efficiency, and task success rates over existing annotation and data-generation pipelines, while also supporting downstream tasks such as affordance detection, robotic VQA, and visual instruction finetuning. We provide project materials on the project page and plan to release the full code, annotations, and benchmark to facilitate future research. Videos, code, demo assets, and annotations are provided in supplementary materials Project page: https://tourmaline-caramel-169490.netlify.app.

Object pose estimation is crucial to many industrial applications, with one example being automated spray painting using a robot. However, confidentiality concerns often limit access to high-quality 3D models, posing a significant challenge for point-cloud-based pose estimation. In such scenarios, rotational symmetry, a readily accessible characteristic of many industrial objects, can provide valuable prior information to facilitate pose estimation.In this paper, we propose a method that leverages the rotational symmetry commonly found in industrial objects to address the challenge caused by the absence of 3D models. The object pose is jointly estimated with point cloud refinement through an iterative optimization process. This optimization relies on a rotational symmetry constraint loss. To construct this loss, each 3D point is rotated according to the currently estimated pose, and multiple correspondences are identified using nearest-neighbor search by exploiting the rotational symmetry property. These correspondences are then used to compute the rotational symmetry constraint loss, which iteratively refines both the pose and the point cloud.By explicitly incorporating rotational symmetry into the optimization process, the proposed method achieves robust pose estimation and generalizes well across diverse object types. The proposed method is evaluated on a dataset specifically created for point clouds without known 3D models, consisting of four categories of synthetic objects and one real wheel hub collected from a production line. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves performance comparable to methods that rely on known 3D models.

Image-to-3D methods often trade off faithfulness and completeness: depth estimators are anchored to input pixels but stop at the visible surface, while image-to-3D models generate complete shapes that are often misaligned with the input. We introduce World Tracing, a generative pixel-aligned geometry representation that predicts 3D points aligned with observed pixels while completing geometry beyond the visible surface. For each input pixel, World Tracing predicts an ordered stack of camera-space 3D points, where the first layer represents the visible surface and subsequent layers represent front-to-back intersections with occluded surfaces. We instantiate this representation with a world-tracing diffusion transformer, WT-DiT, which treats multiple geometry layers as separate denoising tokens coupled through factorized and global attention. WT-DiT is trained with pixel-space flow matching and a mixed noise schedule that balances visible-surface reconstruction with occluded-geometry generation. World Tracing achieves strong performance on visible-surface reconstruction and complete geometry generation across object, scene, and dynamic benchmarks, outperforming both depth predictors and image-to-3D generators. It also preserves 2D-to-3D correspondence, enabling text-driven 3D scene editing, geometry-conditioned novel-view video synthesis, and training-free integration with textured-mesh generators.

We introduce VideoMDM, a diffusion-based framework that trains 3D human motion priors directly from accurate 2D poses extracted from monocular videos, without any 3D ground truth. A pretrained 2D-to-3D lifter provides approximate 3D pose sequences that serve as a noisy teacher: these are diffused, denoised by the model in 3D, and supervised in 2D by reprojecting the prediction and comparing against accurate keypoints. We show that, under mild assumptions, a depth-weighted 2D reprojection loss is equivalent in expectation to direct 3D supervision, and we adapt standard 3D motion regularizers - velocity consistency and over-parameterized representation alignment - to this 2D setting. Unlike methods that lift 2D to 3D only at inference, VideoMDM learns a coherent 3D motion manifold during training. On HumanML3D it nearly closes the gap to fully 3D-supervised MDM (FID 0.88 vs 0.54); On real video datasets Fit3D and NBA the method learns to generate motions consistently preferred by humans, with strong quantitative results.

Text-conditioned 3D generation has progressed rapidly for images and isolated objects, but producing a hand-object mesh remains challenging: the output must preserve language semantics, cross-view consistency, object geometry, articulated hand shape, and physically plausible contact. We present TextHOI-3D, a staged framework that uses generated multi-view observations as an explicit interface between text-conditioned visual generation and geometry-aware hand-object recovery. TextHOI-3D learns a compact VQ token space for fixed-camera hand-object observations, predicts multi-view visual tokens from text with a CLIP-conditioned visual autoregressive model, and recovers a unified hand-object mesh through prior initialization, multi-view joint optimization, and anti-penetration refinement. The design separates semantic generation from geometric recovery while keeping both stages connected by a discrete multi-view representation. On HO3D-derived evaluations, the multi-view setting reduces object CD from 17.26 mm to 4.92 mm and penetration volume from 5.3721 cm^3 to 0.2193 cm^3 compared with a single-view counterpart, while improving hand errors and surface F-scores. These results support multi-view visual tokens as an effective intermediate representation for text-driven 3D hand-object mesh creation.

This research introduces a framework for incorporating Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) into 3D generative architectures to address the inherent 'semantic gap' in deep geometric learning. As deep models become central to 3D content creation, explainability shifts from a peripheral feature to a fundamental requirement for trust and accountability in safety-critical domains such as healthcare and manufacturing. CBMs provide an intrinsic interpretability solution by constraining latent representations to align with human-defined concepts, yet their application to unstructured 3D data remains largely unexplored. We design, implement, and validate a formal 3D-CBM architecture that maps raw geometric inputs, including point clouds and meshes, into a multi-tiered taxonomy of interpretable primitives and functional attributes. The framework further identifies strategic datasets, such as PartNet and ShapeNet, specialized for concept-based supervision. Experimental results from a 3D part-manipulation proof-of-concept experiment demonstrate the framework's efficacy, achieving a concept prediction accuracy of 88.8% and a Chamfer Distance of 0.0115. Critically, the model enables precise test-time intervention, allowing for the interactive correction of structural errors. This work establishes a foundation for semantically-steerable 3D generation and invites further exploration into collaborative human-in-the-loop design systems.

Multimodal large language models can write code to produce complex programs as well as use programs to do 3D modeling, which opens up a new avenue for 3D generation powered by their priors, world knowledge and reasoning. Yet existing benchmarks rarely evaluate 3D modeling through code. Such modeling demands more than runnable code: from a text or visual specification, a model must generate a parametric 3D program that is geometrically precise, semantically aligned and assembly-consistent. We introduce P3D-Bench, a benchmark for parametric 3D generation. Unlike a 3D mesh, a parametric 3D program exposes explicit dimensions, construction operations and part relations, revealing whether a model recovers a design's structure, not just its appearance. Under a unified protocol, P3D-Bench covers three task families (Text-to-3D, Image-to-3D and Assembly-3D) and scores each output for executability, geometric fidelity, topology, text-grounded constraints, multiview semantic alignment and part-level structure. We evaluate frontier MLLMs and text-only LLMs on 400 text cases, 400 image cases and 203 annotated assemblies, with domain-specific models as reference points. Our extensive evaluation yields three findings. First, assemblies are the hardest setting, where models still fail to compose multiple parts into a coherent structure. Second, models can often recover the global shape and semantic identity of the target object, yet fail to reproduce the precise parametric geometry specified by the input. Third, part-level modeling remains weak on assemblies, where models recover neither the geometry of each part nor the right number of parts. These results position P3D-Bench as a benchmark for evaluating precise parametric geometry and part-level structure in parametric 3D generation.

While recent advancements in generative AI have substantially accelerated static 3D model creation workflows, the synthesis of category-agnostic 3D animations remains a significant bottleneck in 3D asset production. Current methods for category-agnostic animation generation exhibit critical limitations in inference speed, motion quality, and adherence to textual prompts, thereby leaving the process dependent on labor-intensive manual artistry. To address these challenges, this paper introduces AnimaSpark, a novel pipeline for category-agnostic 3D animation generation. Our approach is motivated by the key insight that for many fundamental motions in the 3D world, the corresponding joint transformations can often be effectively modeled within a two-dimensional subspace. The pipeline begins by rendering a rigged static 3D model into multi-layered image representations of its mesh and skeleton, which are subsequently fed into a video generation model. We then employ a keypoint tracking algorithm on the generated video to capture the motion of the skeletal joints projected onto the camera's viewing plane. In the final stage, we distill the planar translations and rotations from these tracked keypoints and lift them from the 2D domain into 3D space to animate the character. Comprehensive evaluations reveal that our method achieves superior performance over existing state-of-the-art techniques across key metrics, including text-motion alignment, quality of motion, and computational efficiency.

Subject Customization is a foundational task in modern image generation. By providing a few reference images and a text prompt, users can generate images of a specific object in any desired scene. However, existing methods still struggle to achieve effective pose control for customized subjects. In practice, they often exhibit inaccurate poses or inconsistent cross-pose appearances. These limitations suggest that understanding objects in a volumetric manner remains a significant challenge for 2D-native backbones. To address this challenge, we propose Pose-ICL, a tuning-free framework that leverages 3D-aware In-Context Learning (ICL) to directly adapt to new subjects through multiple paired image-pose references. Its core mechanism,Surface-Anchored Position Embedding (SAPE), equips the model with explicit 3D awareness by anchoring image tokens to the surface coordinates of a volumetric bounding box. Dedicated refinements ensure its seamless compatibility with existing DiT models. Extensive evaluations on both 3D assets and real-world subjects demonstrate that Pose-ICL significantly outperforms current methods in both pose accuracy and identity consistency.

Accurate 3D instance segmentation in point cloud data is critical for machine vision applications. Recent advancements leverage multiple pre-trained foundation models to generate 3D proposals, followed by the application of proposal aggregation methods, which significantly enhance performance. However, they often produce sub-optimal results due to inherent variations in confidence levels across different segmentation models, resulting in a bias toward the model with higher confidence. This bias is inherently model-dependent and is influenced by factors such as data preprocessing techniques and training strategies. To address this bias, we propose a novel, training-free 3D instance segmentation approach via Geometric Visual Correspondence (GVC-Seg), which exploits the correspondence between 3D geometric cues and 2D visual cues to mitigate the confidence bias. Additionally, a 3D proposal generation module and a mask-aware CLIP feature extraction module are introduced during the instance mask generation and instance semantic reasoning, respectively. In this way, GVC-Seg enhances proposal quality assessment, ensuring unbiased ensemble learning across different models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on several challenging benchmarks, while also exhibiting strong potential in open-vocabulary semantic segmentation settings.

Despite recent progress in 3D generation, intuitive editing of existing shapes remains limited. Unlike images, which benefit from well-established inpainting tools, general 3D objects such as meshes still lack simple and effective methods for local shape editing. Existing approaches are often global, domain-specific, require complex user interaction, or focus on appearance (color and texture) rather than geometry. We introduce 3DMorph, a training-free framework for single-image-guided local 3D shape editing and morphing. Given an edited image showing a desired shape modification, our method automatically localizes the relevant 3D region and transfers 2D modifications to 3D while preserving unmodified areas. 3DMorph also enables intermediate shape generation between the original and edited objects, facilitating design exploration. To benchmark editing quality, we introduce Delta3D, an image-guided local 3D editing benchmark with paired ground-truth edits. Experimental results show that 3DMorph translates intuitive 2D edits into 3D, outperforming state-of-the-art generative and editing methods.

Indoor scene generation is crucial for robot simulation and modern interior design. However, complex layouts together with scarce 3D scene data make learning-based generation challenging. Existing methods often rely on hand-crafted rules or focus on isolated sub-tasks (e.g., floorplan synthesis or single-room furnishing), producing whole-home scenes that lack global coherence, realism, and simulation readiness. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a unified hierarchical framework that decomposes indoor scene synthesis into controllable stages. First, we curate a large-scale dataset of 300K real residential floorplans to train a large language model for whole-home floorplan generation. With detailed descriptions and a K-D tree-based representation, our method enables fine-grained, controllable whole-home floorplan generation. Building upon the generated whole-home floorplan, we leverage image generation models to draft furniture layouts from multi-level roaming viewpoints, and then generate the layouts of small manipulable objects on different supporting surfaces (e.g., cabinets, desks, and dining tables) for embodied AI simulation. During furniture and object layout generation, a VLM-based refiner iteratively corrects furniture and object placement, and a 3D generative model enables flexible replacement of individual assets. We further attach basic physical attributes and simple surface texture and lighting setups to complete the pipeline for embodied AI use. Experiments and user studies demonstrate that our pipeline produces indoor spaces with greater layout diversity and stronger 3D design appeal, outperforming prior methods on both quantitative and qualitative metrics. Finally, alongside our generation pipeline, we will release the floorplan dataset and 5K fully furnished scenes to the community. Project Page: https://kairos-homeworld.github.io/

Large Vision-Language Models have achieved significant reasoning performance in various tasks. However, there are few studies on text-to-3D indoor scene generation with LVLMs. The main challenge is that prevailing LVLM-based methods employ chain-of-thought sequential decision mechanisms that cannot revise earlier decisions, causing error propagation. In this paper, we consider the task as a planning problem constrained by spatial and layout commonsense. To solve this problem, we model it as a tree search problem with global and local trees, which differs from existing sequential decision-making approaches. In the global tree, we place each object iteratively and explore multiple attempts like humans furnishing a room, where the problem space is represented as a tree. To effectively search the tree, we propose a hierarchical scene representation and a PRM-guided MCTS method. This representation abstracts a scene into room level, region level, floor object level, and supported object level. The PRM-guided MCTS method uses the PRM to prune unnecessary branches and the MCTS algorithm to balance exploration and exploitation to get an optimal solution with fewer attempts. In the local tree, it further decomposes the placement of each object into finer sub-steps, including the specific placement parameters. To make the whole appearance of the scene consistent, we leverage pre-trained diffusion image generative models to predict textures for all the objects in the scene. As existing benchmarks for text-to-3D indoor scene generation remain limited in scale and diversity, we collect a new large-scale diverse dataset that contains 65 scene types and 3250 instructions with diverse sizes, layouts, and styles, named 3DTindo-bench, to better assess the capability of the state-of-the-art models. Our experiments show that our method generates more realistic 3D scenes than state-of-the-art methods.

We introduce T2Mo, a feed-forward framework for controllable dynamic 3D shape generation conditioned on 3D trajectories and text. Due to the inherent ambiguity of language, generating precisely intended motions using text alone remains challenging. To address this, we adopt 3D trajectories as controllable spatial guidance, specifying the exact paths along which selected points should move. By combining both, T2Mo generates object motions that spatially adhere to the given trajectories while globally reflecting the text semantics. To robustly handle trajectory inputs with arbitrary configurations, ranging from dense to sparse and unevenly distributed, we further propose a shape-grounded trajectory embedding that maps an input trajectory set into a shape-aware token set covering the entire object. We conduct extensive comparisons against text-based baselines and cascaded video-based baselines that combine trajectory-guided video generation with video-to-dynamic mesh generation. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations, along with user studies, demonstrate that our approach produces motions that more faithfully follow the given prompts with higher expressiveness while preserving motion quality.

Scaling humanoid loco-manipulation requires robot-compatible demonstrations across diverse objects, whole-body motions, and scene geometries, but teleoperation and motion capture are difficult to scale because each collection depends on physical setups, instrumented actors, and robot operation. We present GRAIL, a digital generation pipeline that remains fully virtual until deployment: it composes 3D assets, simulator-ready scenes, and priors from video foundation models (VFMs) to synthesize interactions without rebuilding physical environments or teleoperating the robot. Rather than reconstructing unconstrained in-the-wild videos, GRAIL starts from fully specified 3D configurations in which object geometry, camera parameters, metric scale, environment depth, and a robot-proportioned character are known before video generation and reused during reconstruction. This privileged setup better conditions 4D recovery, allowing model-based object tracking, human motion estimation, and interaction-aware optimization to reconstruct metric 4D human-object interaction (HOI) trajectories with reduced depth ambiguity and morphology mismatch. We retarget the recovered motions to a humanoid robot and train complementary task-general trackers: an object-aware latent adaptor for manipulation and a scene-aware tracker for terrain traversal. GRAIL produces over 20,000 sequences spanning pick-up, object manipulation, sitting, and terrain traversal. Using only GRAIL-generated data, we train egocentric visual policies through a sim-to-real pipeline and deploy them on a Unitree G1 humanoid, achieving 84% real-world success on diverse object pick-up and 90% success on stair-climbing.

Recent developments in multi-view image editing with generative models have brought us a step closer toward general 3D content generation and customization. Most existing works focus on rigid or appearance-only edits by utilizing the geometry of the unedited scene. This naturally limits these methods to edits that preserve the underlying scene structure. Current nonrigid approaches are limited to object removal and insertion, reflecting the data they are trained on. General nonrigid edits, i.e., edits that substantially and arbitrarily change the scene geometry, remain challenging for existing methods. We propose GeM-NR, a fast and flexible training-free approach for general multi-view consistent image editing, including edits that drastically change the geometry and appearance of the scene. Given an anchor image edited with a chosen 2D editor and a query unedited image, GeM-NR edits the query image consistently with the anchor edit. The method incorporates multiple stages: (i) depth map estimation, where we propose a strategy to maximize the alignment between the 3D point clouds of the edited and unedited scenes, (ii) projection onto a query viewpoint, and (iii) refinement of the obtained image conditioned on the unedited query. We demonstrate the ability of our method to handle edits with significant changes in geometry and appearance, something that existing methods struggle with. We perform an extensive evaluation showing that GeM-NR improves consistency for a wide variety of edit tasks, including generating 3D representations of the edited scene. Both quantitative and qualitative results indicate the state-of-the-art performance of our method in terms of edit quality as well as geometric and photometric consistency across multiple views.

We present MeshFlow, a new method for generating artist-like 3D meshes. Current mesh generators often adopt Auto-Regressive (AR) next-token prediction, a natural choice given the discrete nature of mesh topology. However, AR methods scale poorly because the inference cost is quadratic in mesh size. They also require discretizing the vertex coordinates, which introduces quantization errors. To address these challenges, we introduce a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) that, supervised with a contrastive loss, represents both continuous vertex positions and discrete connectivity in a continuous latent space. This latent space is significantly more compact than prior token-based mesh representations. We then build a 3D generator based on a Rectified Flow transformer, generating all mesh vertices and edges in parallel. Our model generates meshes 18x faster than the fastest AR generator while also achieving excellent accuracy across standard mesh-generation metrics.

Single-view 3D generative models have achieved impressive visual quality, yet they are not designed to satisfy structural or functional requirements, and in practice, often fall short. Symmetry is one such requirement: violations, even subtle ones, on symmetry can render a model physically unusable. We present SymTRELLIS, a method that enforces arbitrary finite point group symmetries (rotational, reflectional, and polyhedral) during the flow-based 3D generation of TRELLIS.2, without retraining the underlying VAE or flow model. Our key idea is to approximate the latent-space action of spatial transformations as a learned linear operator on voxel latents, implemented as a lightweight spatial-transform latent mapper trained on generic, non-symmetric 3D data. At generation time, we enforce symmetry by averaging predicted flow velocities across all symmetry-equivalent transformations at each ODE step, a process we call velocity symmetrization. The symmetry specification can be estimated automatically from an initial TRELLIS.2 generation or supplied by the user, enabling deliberate fold manipulation beyond what the input image suggests. On a curated benchmark of 266 strictly symmetric objects spanning 2- to 20-fold rotations and polyhedral symmetry groups, SymTRELLIS substantially reduces all symmetry error metrics compared to TRELLIS.2, Hunyuan3D-2.1, and TripoSG, while maintaining reconstruction accuracy comparable to the base model.

In this paper, we present HumanNOVA, a photorealistic, universal, and rapid model for generating 3D human avatars from a single RGB image. Achieving both photorealism and generalization is challenging due to the scarcity of diverse, high-quality 3D human data. To address this, we build a scalable data generation pipeline that follows two strategies. The first one is to leverage existing rigged assets and animate them with extensive poses from daily life. The second strategy is to utilize existing multi-camera captures of humans and employ fitting to generate more diverse views for training. These two strategies enable us to scale up to 100k assets, significantly enhancing both the quantity and the diversity of data for robust model training. In terms of the architecture, HumanNOVA adopts a feed-forward, token-conditioned avatar modeling framework that allows fast inference in less than one second and requires no test-time optimization. Given an input image and an estimated simplified human mesh (SMPL) without detailed geometry or appearance, the model first encodes both inputs into compact token representations. These tokens then act as conditioning signals and are fused through cross-attention to construct a triplane-based 3D avatar representation. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our approach, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as its robustness under diverse input image conditions.

We present MORPHOS, a novel autoregressive framework that generates dynamic 3D assets from videos across diverse representations, including meshes, 3D Gaussians, and radiance fields. Existing methods are typically limited to a single representation, struggle to model topological changes, or fail to maintain temporal consistency over long videos. To address these limitations, we introduce the Temporal Structured Latents (T-SLAT), a unified 4D representation that jointly encodes geometry and appearance along the temporal dimension. Leveraging T-SLAT, MORPHOS autoregressively generates dynamic 3D assets via causal attention, conditioning each frame on its preceding history to ensure temporal consistency while handling evolving topologies. We also propose a temporal-structural augmentation to mitigate error accumulation in autoregressive generation. MORPHOS achieves state-of-the-art performance in appearance and competitive results in geometry across multiple benchmarks, demonstrating superior generalization across various representations and robustness in long-horizon generation.

Reconstructing a photorealistic 3D face avatar from a single unconstrained photograph is challenging: feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models degrade on out-of-distribution inputs, while pretrained diffusion models produce high-fidelity images but lack multi-view consistency. We observe that these paradigms are fundamentally complementary: explicit 3D representations guarantee geometric consistency, whereas 2D diffusion priors ensure photorealism. Building on this, we propose SplatShot, a training-free framework that couples these representations directly within the denoising process. Given a base 3DGS face model and a single reference image, we jointly denoise all target views using a per-step 3D feedback loop. At each timestep, we predict clean images from the noisy latents, refit the 3DGS to these multi-view predictions, and back-propagate the photometric discrepancy between the 3DGS re-renderings and 2D predictions into the noise estimate. This steers the sampling trajectory toward strictly 3D-coherent, identity-faithful outputs. Experiments on diverse in-the-wild images demonstrate that SplatShot produces 3D avatars with superior identity preservation, photorealism, and multi-view consistency.

Texturing 3D meshes plays a vital role in determining the visual realism of digital objects and scenes. Although recent generative 3D approaches based on Neural Radiance Fields and Gaussian Splatting can produce textured assets directly, polygonal meshes remain the core representation across modeling, animation, visual effects, and gaming pipelines. Neural 3D mesh texturing therefore continues to be an essential and active area of research. In this survey, we present a comprehensive review of recent advances in neural 3D mesh texturing, covering methods for texture synthesis, transfer, and completion. We first summarize key foundations in mesh geometry, texture mapping, differentiable rendering, and neural generative models, and then organize the literature into a unified taxonomy spanning early GAN-based methods to modern diffusion-based pipelines. We further analyze common architectures and supervision strategies, review datasets and evaluation protocols, and discuss emerging applications, practical/commercial systems, and open challenges. Together, these insights provide a structured perspective on the current landscape and help guide future developments in learning-based 3D mesh texturing.

Robot manipulation critically depends on perception that preserves the action-relevant aspects of a scene. Yet most robot learning pipelines are built upon visual encoders pre-trained for static recognition or vision-language alignment, leaving motion understanding to downstream policies. We introduce DynaFLIP, a dynamics-aware multimodal pre-training framework that pushes motion understanding upstream into perception. We construct image-language-3D flow triplets from heterogeneous human and robot videos, and use these triplets as training-time supervision to shape an image-only encoder. Our key idea is to encourage the three modalities to span a small simplex volume in the shared hyperspherical space -- a smaller simplex volume indicating stronger alignment. To avoid the geometric ambiguity and trivial collapse of naive volume minimization, we combine simplex-volume minimization with a cosine regularizer and a contrastive objective. Our analyses show that DynaFLIP focuses on control-relevant regions critical for manipulation. The resulting dynamics-aware representations serve as reusable visual backbones and consistently outperform baselines across diverse downstream policies, including VLAs. We validate this across diverse simulation and real-world setups, with gains reaching +22.5% under out-of-distribution scenarios. Our results suggest that robot generalization improves when visual representations are trained to encode not just what is present, but how the world changes under action.

High-capacity watermarking is necessary for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) assets to embed rich information (e.g., ownership, provenance, and authentication codes), enabling reliable identification and integrity verification in large-scale 3D asset pipelines. Existing bit-to-token watermarking methods based on a pre-trained text encoder are limited to 77-bit messages due to CLIP's fixed 77-token context length, as tokens beyond this limit are unsupported by learned positional embeddings. To address this limitation, we introduce BitC-3DGS, a bit-compression framework that encodes multiple message bits per token. It employs a bit-compressed tokenization scheme that encodes multiple bits within the same chunk into a single semantic token. To enable recovery of the compressed information, it further introduces a dual-branch architecture for joint chunk decompression and bit decoding, along with a hard-message sampling strategy to improve combinatorial coverage during decoder training. Extensive experiments on the Blender and LLFF datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of BitC-3DGS for high-capacity watermarking, achieving high message recovery accuracy and rendering fidelity. For example, it supports 128-bit message capacity with recovery accuracy comparable to that of 64-bit messages in recent state-of-the-art methods.

Recent approaches integrating vision-language models (VLMs) as prompt encoders for generative model conditioning typically rely on expensive end-to-end training or map features to compressed representations, discarding the dense spatial structure required for geometry-aware tasks like 3D asset generation. To address this, we propose GAP3D, a modular, diffusion-based approach that aligns VLM-generated latents directly to the complete, patch-level feature space of a pre-trained image encoder, enabling a frozen downstream generative model to utilize a VLM as prompt encoder while maintaining a spatially structured conditioning signal. Evaluated on 3D asset generation, our method bypasses the need for large-scale 3D data by training mainly on general-domain image-text pairs. It also exhibits emergent zero-shot capabilities for multimodal prompts, despite being trained exclusively on text input. Finally, while currently prioritizing high-level semantics over fine-grained detail, GAP3D demonstrates that the representation gap between VLM and image-encoder feature spaces can be partially bridged through diffusion-based alignment, taking the first steps towards a modular integration of foundation models through generative alignment to dense embedding spaces.

Interactive 3D assets used in games and simulation are typically decomposed into specific semantic parts to support animation, physics, and scripted behaviors, yet most generative 3D models produce either monolithic meshes or arbitrary part decompositions that cannot be aligned with application-specific requirements. We present CubePart, a generative framework for open-vocabulary, part-controllable 3D mesh generation that exposes part structure as an explicit inference-time control signal. Given a global text prompt and a user-defined parts schema expressed as an open-ended list of part names, our method generates a set of meshes - one per schema element - that assemble into a coherent object while respecting the specified semantic structure. To enable this capability, we introduce a scalable data pipeline to construct a large open-vocabulary, part-labeled 3D dataset, along with a two-stage generative architecture that separates global shape synthesis from part-level decoding. We demonstrate that the resulting assets can be directly integrated into game engines and driven by animation and behavior scripts without manual post-processing.

Animation of 2D hand-drawn sketches provides an effective medium for visual communication. However, these sketches pose challenges, particularly in handling occlusions and accurately mapping motion. While 3D animation naturally addresses these challenges, estimating 3D motion remains a very complex task. Recent approaches to converting 2D sketches to 3D animations have mainly focused on specific types of motion, such as bipedal movements and facial expressions. We propose Sketch2Motion, a diffusion-guided framework for skeleton-based motion synthesis that combines classical character animation pipelines with deep generative priors. Our method represents motion using skeletal transformations, which are propagated to mesh deformations via linear blend skinning. To guide the resulting animation toward realistic and semantically meaningful motion, we integrate a text-to-video diffusion model via motion-aware score-distillation sampling (MoSDS), enabling optimization without paired motion data. Additionally, we apply physics-inspired smoothness, topological, and contact constraints to stabilize optimization and preserve motion plausibility. Further, we integrate a spring-mass simulator to introduce secondary motion effects. The proposed framework is generalized, fully differentiable, modular, and compatible with biped, quadruped, and non-living articulated characters. Experiments demonstrate that our approach produces temporally coherent, text-aligned animations that outperform baseline motion transfer methods that lack generative priors or explicit physical constraints. We will make our code and dataset publicly available.

3D editing is a fundamental capability for scalable 3D content creation. While image editing has rapidly evolved toward large-scale feedforward generative paradigms, 3D AI generation remains dominated by training-free editing pipelines. A central challenge of feedforward 3D editing lies in the lack of high-quality paired supervision. Editable 3D assets require simultaneous preservation of geometry, multi-view consistency, structural coherence, and localized edit controllability. Existing 3D editing datasets often rely on independently generated assets, image-mediated reconstruction or narrow edit taxonomies, leading to inaccurate localization, weak preservation, blurred edit boundaries, and limited semantic consistency. In this work, we introduce a new perspective: scalable feedforward 3D editing should be learned from semantic-part transformations. Based on this insight, we propose Pxform, a high-quality 3D editing dataset with over 100K consistent before/after editing pairs across seven edit types. Instead of treating objects as unstructured shapes, our pipeline grounds edits directly in semantic 3D parts. Built upon Pxform, we further propose PartFlow, a feedforward 3D editing network that injects source-aware latent control into pretrained 3D generative priors. PartFlow introduces mask-aware velocity preservation and render-space consistency supervision to jointly improve edit fidelity and source preservation, while requiring no 3D edit mask during inference. Extensive experiments demonstrate that high-quality semantic-part supervision substantially improves scalable 3D editing, enabling PartFlow to achieve state-of-the-art performance on both geometric and appearance editing benchmarks.

Animation elevates digital documents into immersive experiences, yet creating custom motion paths remains cumbersome, requiring designers to manually select presets, plot Bézier points, and configure timing properties. We introduce Generative Animations, a system that transforms natural language prompts into production-ready animations. By chaining Large Language Models (LLMs) for semantic parsing with the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for visual grounding, our pipeline automatically generates motion paths that respect scene geometry, handle depth-based occlusions, and honor 3D perspective transforms. We demonstrate the system through three use cases: contour-following trajectories, orbital animations with z-order awareness, and perspective-aligned motion on transformed objects.

Generating complete digital twins from videos requires precise camera control, global scene coverage, and strict spatial-temporal consistency constraints that remain challenging for perspective video generators due to their limited field of view (FoV). Their narrow FoV forces long or multi-view trajectories, amplifying cross-view inconsistency and temporal drift. We argue that 360° video generation offers a natural solution: panoramic coverage simplifies trajectory design and provides a strong global context for maintaining coherence. We introduce Pantheon360: Taming Digital Twin Generation via 3D-Aware 360° Video Diffusion, a controllable 360° video generation framework that synthesizes high-fidelity videos from sparse 360° inputs. The key idea is an explicit 3D Cache, reconstructed from the input, which serves as a geometric scaffold for any user-defined camera path. This allows the diffusion model to focus on photorealistic texture refinement while the 3D Cache enforces global geometric consistency. Experiments show that Pantheon360 achieves superior visual quality and unmatched geometric coherence, enabling reliable and flexible 360° scene generation for downstream simulation and digital-twin applications.

High-fidelity 3D Gaussian head avatar generation is critical for applications such as AR/VR, telepresence, and digital humans. Existing methods depend on multi-view datasets, 3D captures, or intermediate 2D view synthesis. In contrast, we learn both conditional and unconditional 3D head models from randomly sampled 2D images alone, without using multi-view data, 3D supervision, or intermediate view generation. We introduce MVCHead, a single-shot state space model that enforces multi-view consistency (MVC) directly in the 3D representation while regressing 3D Gaussians under these constraints. At its core, we propose a Hierarchical State Space (HiSS) block that progressively refines Gaussians from coarse to fine, while capturing long-range dependencies. Within each HiSS block, we modify Mamba's standard unidirectional scan with the proposed Hierarchical Bi-directional State Scan (HiBiSS) that aligns recurrence with the axes along which multi-view inconsistencies are strongest. Finally, we design an SE(3) Multi-view Critic that judges whether a set of self-renders arises from a single underlying 3D configuration, rewarding cross-view pixel alignment without observing real multi-view pairs. MVCHead achieves state-of-the-art perceptual quality, surpasses prior methods in both texture and geometric consistency, and maintains comparable shape consistency. To demonstrate scalability, we release FaceGS-10K, the first large-scale dataset of ready-to-use 3D Gaussian head assets for training and evaluation of 3D head models. Project Page and code: https://humansensinglab.github.io/MVCHead/

Large-scale controllable 3D assets are critical for computer graphics, embodied AI, robotics, and interactive content creation, yet creating diverse 3D assets remains challenging due to the high cost of manual modeling and rigging. Shape deformation offers a natural way to generate variations from existing meshes, but existing data-driven methods often rely on sparse user inputs, while parametric editing frameworks require manually designed control structures and category-specific configurations. Inspired by natural creatures, where a central spine governs global shape and cross-sectional ribs control local variation, we introduce Fishbone, a unified rib-spine representation for general shapes that supports controllable parametric mesh deformation, reduced-space dynamics, and animation. Given an input mesh, Fishbone computes a geodesic scalar field with an adaptive heat method, extracts iso-contours as cross-sectional ribs, constructs a smooth geometry-aware spine through rib centers, and associates surface vertices with nearby rib and spine structures using Gaussian-weighted skinning. The resulting representation enables real-time and predictable deformation: ribs control local profiles such as thickness, orientation, and cross-sectional variation, while the spine controls global bending, twisting, and stretching. The same structure also supports reduced-space simulation and keyframe animation. We further construct Fishbone-136K by augmenting Hunyuan3D with rib-spine structures, and demonstrate applications in controllable 3D generation, deformation-based data augmentation for robot learning, interactive mesh editing, and agentic generation. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency, and versatility of the proposed framework.

Recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) GANs for human heads synthesize and render photorealistic 3D models in real-time and offer a vast variety in identity and appearance. However, controlling specific semantic attributes such as hair color or glasses remains challenging, as edits in the entangled latent space often induce unintended changes in identity or appearance. Although there are several methods that aim to disentangle the latent space post training by estimating directions that only modify certain features, these methods cannot guarantee complete disentanglement and often require pre-trained classifiers. In our approach, we propose a new generator architecture that synthesizes components, such as hair, skin, glasses, and torso, completely independently. This allows for changing the latent vector for one region while keeping the remaining parts fixed. Further, we achieve this separation using only sparse information such as the hair or skin color, eliminating the requirement of segmentation masks or geometric priors, often seen in prior work. To ensure matching shape and lighting conditions during editing, we allow minimal shared information via context tokens between the independent generators. These tokens even allow us to control the shape and light, without any prior annotation. Compared to existing works on GAN-based generation and editing, our method shows better disentanglement, more precise editing control, and competitive visual quality.

We introduce a new approach to high-fidelity 3D scene reconstruction from multi-view RGB images that tightly couples reconstruction with a strong generative 3D prior. We cast scene reconstruction as conditional 3D generation over a set of spatially-localized, overlapping chunks that together tile the scene, scaling generation to large scene extents. Crucially, we inherit the fidelity and completeness of state-of-the-art generative shape models -- we use Trellis.2 as an example -- which we generalize to the scene level. To this end, we propose a projection-based conditioning mechanism that lifts posed multi-view image features into a coherent 3D representation aligned with the generative model, independent of view ordering and spatially anchored to the scene, yielding high-fidelity, multi-view consistent generated geometry. This enables lifting the strong object-level prior of Trellis.2 to multi-view, scene-scale generation, producing faithful, editable PBR mesh reconstructions of indoor environments. As a result, we obtain high-fidelity results that outperform cutting-edge reconstruction methods by 16%.

This paper addresses the challenge of reconstructing photorealistic and animatable 3D human avatars from monocular videos. While existing methods rely on combining per-subject optimization with generic human priors, they often fail to capture fine-grained details when training frames are limited. To mitigate this data scarcity, we propose TrioMan, a systematic tri-module framework for augmented 3D avatar learning. Our approach comprises three synergistic components. The Generator creates diverse unseen samples by imposing Gaussian perturbations on pose and camera. The Refiner improves the quality of generated data through one-step diffusion guided by texture and geometry cues. The Examiner selects subject-consistent samples using a dual-branch attention-based similarity evaluation. Experiments on the X-Humans and NeuMan benchmarks show that TrioMan outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

While 3D generation is progressing rapidly, recent work has often focused on obtaining high-resolution assets, leaving user experience and deployability as afterthoughts. We present AssetGen, a 3D generator that focuses instead on these two aspects. Given one reference image, in 30 seconds it produces a high-quality mesh with baked normals, a color texture, and a controlled polygon budget suitable for real-time rendering, including mobile use cases. The AssetGen Flash variant further reduces latency to 14 seconds for interactive and agentic creation loops. Our model generates the object geometry with a coarse-to-refine VecSet framework, which implements mesh simplification, cleaning, and normal baking on the GPU, and a fast parallel UV unwrapping. It then generates textures in a multi-view fashion, followed by backprojection and 3D inpainting. Model distillation, kernel optimization, and pipeline parallelization are co-designed to accelerate the system end-to-end. We introduce numerous automated and blind human evaluations and demonstrate competitive visual quality against leading commercial solutions in 30 seconds and preview-quality results in less than 15 seconds. The final result is a system that supports AI-assisted, deployable 3D content creation in interactive workflows.

View-conditioned 3D generators such as SAM 3D, TRELLIS, and Hunyuan3D produce high-quality object reconstructions from a single view, but real-world visual observation often arrives as long monocular streams. Naively applying these generators to each streaming frame independently leads to severe temporal inconsistency in the generated results. To address this problem, we propose Stream3D, the first training-free streaming mechanism that turns a frozen view-conditioned 3D generator into a streaming generator with constant cross-chunk memory. Stream3D achieves this by maintaining a compact evidential memory, which selectively caches the most informative historical frames based on a proposed evidence score mechanism. As the stream progresses, the memory dynamically updates to retain a fixed number of informative frames, preventing the memory footprint from growing linearly with sequence length. This also prevents degradation over long sequences and keeps the underlying generator completely unchanged without retraining, architectural modifications, or auxiliary losses. Evaluated on both realistic and synthetic streaming benchmarks, Stream3D outperforms latent-transport baselines, including KV-cache reuse and flow-based feature editing, across both photometric and geometric metrics.

Single-image-to-3D generative models can now produce high-quality geometry, yet conditioning on a single view inevitably introduces ambiguity about unseen regions. Multi-view conditioning can reduce this ambiguity, but existing methods either require fixed canonical viewpoints or rely on external reconstruction modules that impose heavy training costs and limit generation quality. We observe that pretrained single-view models already possess strong 2D-to-3D grounding that can be reused for multi-view conditioning. However, a closer analysis reveals that their conditioning mechanism entangles orientation control with geometry transfer, two functions that conflict when images from different viewpoints are naively combined. Based on this analysis, we propose ROAR-3D, a lightweight method that upgrades a pretrained single-view model to accept an arbitrary number of unposed images. A token-wise view router assigns each 3D latent token to its most relevant view, implicitly establishing 2D-to-3D correspondences without explicit pose input. A dual-stream attention design preserves the pretrained primary-view behavior while routing auxiliary views through a separate path dedicated to geometric enrichment. An orientation perturbation strategy ensures the auxiliary path learns orientation-independent geometry transfer. These components introduce minimal trainable parameters and add negligible inference overhead relative to the single-view baseline. ROAR-3D achieves state-of-the-art multi-view 3D generation quality and supports test-time view scaling from 1 to 12+ views with consistent improvements.
