3D Shape Editing

Follow this topic Ask about this topic

3D shape editing studies how to make targeted changes to a digital object while keeping its intended structure and other parts intact. Methods use mesh deformation, implicit or point-based representations, Gaussian splats, and generative models guided by text, images, sketches, masks, or semantic parts. Some rely on optimization or inversion for precise control, while feed-forward models aim to make edits faster and consistent across viewpoints. A central challenge is balancing strong, localized edits with preservation of unedited geometry, appearance, and identity; reliable evaluation of complex iterative edits remains difficult.

We introduce Discrete Voxel Diffusion (DVD), a discrete diffusion framework to generate, assess, and edit sparse voxels for SLat (Structured LATent) based 3D generative pipelines. Although discrete diffusion has not generally displaced continuous diffusion in image-like generation, we show that it can be an effective first-stage prior for sparse voxel scaffolds. By treating voxel occupancy as a native discrete variable, DVD avoids continuous-to-discrete thresholding and provides a simple framework for voxel generation, uncertainty estimation, and editing. Beyond quality gains, DVD provides more interpretable generation dynamics through explicit categorical modeling. Furthermore, we leverage the predictive entropy as a robust uncertainty metric to identify ambiguous voxel regions and complicated samples, facilitating tasks such as data filtering and quality assessment. Finally, we propose a lightweight fine-tuning strategy using block-structured perturbation patterns. This approach empowers the model to inpaint and edit voxels within a single sampling round, requiring negligible auxiliary computation and no additional model evaluations.
