Autoregressive 3D Scene Generation

Generating complete 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained views is a fundamental challenge in 3D vision which requires reasoning beyond observed content while remaining computationally tractable. Existing feed-forward reconstruction methods are inherently limited to content visible in the input images, while 3D generative modeling is hindered by the high computational cost of dense volumetric representations and the scarcity of large-scale 3D supervision. We introduce SPAR3S, a sparse voxel-aligned 3D latent generative model for conditional scene completion without requiring ground-truth 3D data for supervision. Our key insight is to formulate 3D scene generation in a structured, compact, voxel-aligned 3D latent space where only occupied voxels are represented. We learn this sparse latent space directly from multi-view images using photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting. Given a partial set of observed voxels encoded from sparse input views, scene completion reduces to predicting the missing latent tokens and their spatial support within the voxel grid. To this end, we train a masked autoregressive transformer that jointly models voxel occupancy and latent token values, enabling efficient and spatially consistent generation of unseen regions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on synthetic indoor scenes, achieving higher novel-view quality than prior work. We further validate its generalization on RealEstate10k, highlighting its applicability to real-world data.

We present OctWorld, a video diffusion framework with persistent 3D memory for generating explorable, world-consistent, and high-fidelity visual scenes. Given a single image, OctWorld performs stable autoregressive world generation along user-specified camera trajectories. We focus on long-range generation, characterized by extended camera paths and wide viewpoint coverage, where preserving spatial consistency is particularly challenging when previously generated regions are revisited. To address this problem, we introduce OctMap, an extensible and spatially adaptive 3D memory that progressively fuses generated visual observations and their corresponding depth maps into a global representation. OctMap employs TSDF fusion within a dynamic sparse octree whose spatial resolution adapts to image evidence. This design preserves geometric and appearance details across diverse scene scales while maintaining low memory overhead. Experiments demonstrate that OctWorld generates long-range, spatially consistent videos and outperforms prior methods on both existing benchmarks and challenging long-range generation settings. OctMap also provides clear advantages over point-based caches and fixed-resolution TSDF volumes. Project page: https://maxtirerror.github.io/octworldpage/

Part-aware 3D object generation is essential for graphics applications such as controllable modeling, editing, and articulation, where objects are represented as coherent assemblies of semantic parts. However, existing part-aware generation methods, do not scale well to highly complex objects. As the number of parts increases, generating detailed geometry becomes prohibitively expensive in token length and memory. We introduce MegaParts, a scalable autoregressive 3D generation framework to address this challenge by combining structured sequence modeling with a token-efficient vector-quantized shape tokenizer. Our tokenizer learns discrete latent representations for part-level geometry by minimizing token usage subject to high-fidelity reconstruction, enabling adaptive-length tokenization based on geometric complexity. On top of this compact representation, we train a large language model to generate object bounding boxes, part bounding boxes, and part shape tokens within a unified structured sequence. Combined with efficient long-context training strategy, our token-efficient formulation scales to objects with up to 300 parts and sequence lengths up to 256k tokens. This substantially extends the scale of part-aware 3D generation while preserving compositional structure and enabling fine-grained part-level control. Our method achieves higher mesh quality than baseline autoregressive and diffusion models, showing that compressed discrete part tokens improve not only scalability but also the achievable fidelity of generated geometry. These results suggest that LLM native token-efficient autoregressive modeling is a compelling alternative to diffusion for large-scale part-aware 3D generation.

Mesh subdivision is a fundamental operation for converting coarse, editable meshes into high-resolution surfaces, with broad applications in digital asset creation. Classical rule-based schemes rely on fixed local refinement rules and often produce over-smoothed surfaces. Recent neural subdivision methods improve detail synthesis, but remain constrained by local modeling and exhibit limited generalizability. We present SubdivAR, a neural mesh subdivision framework based on our proposed Mesh Autoregressive Representation (MAR). MAR arranges meshes at different subdivision levels into an ordered scale sequence, reformulating subdivision as autoregressive next-scale prediction. To support this formulation, we introduce a Hybrid Topology-Aware Transformer that combines global semantic attention with topology-constrained local feature aggregation. SubdivAR adopts a next-scale coordinate prediction paradigm, regressing vertex offsets at each refinement stage to preserve subdivision topology while recovering fine-grained geometric details. To enable reliable learning, we construct FII-40K, a curated dataset of nearly 40,000 high-quality meshes with multi-level subdivision supervision. Experiments show that SubdivAR outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, reducing Hausdorff Distance and Chamfer Distance by 18.8% and 14.2%, respectively, and demonstrates strong robustness on complex open-surface geometries.

Autoregressive multimodal large language models (MLLMs) enable 3D generation but struggle to scale to high-resolution shapes due to inadequate 3D tokenizations. Compact set-based representations discard deterministic spatial ordering, leading to ambiguous sequence prediction, while uniform or octree-based voxel grids preserve ordering at the cost of severe redundancy and excessively long sequences. This structural trade-off limits stable and efficient autoregressive 3D generation. We present SuperVoxelGPT, a representation-first framework that resolves this tension through adaptive and deterministically ordered supervoxel tokenization. Given a prompt, we first predict a coarse geometric saliency distribution and construct a shape-adaptive supervoxel partition using saliency-guided centroidal Voronoi tessellation, allocating fine-grained cells to complex regions and larger cells to smooth regions. Conditioned on this prompt and ordered supervoxel layout, we introduce a SuperVoxelVAE and fine-tune a pretrained MLLM to autoregressively generate supervoxel tokens. Experiments using Trellis-500K data show that SuperVoxelGPT reduces token sequence length to 12.8% of uniform voxel tokenization while achieving state-of-the-art generation quality and an average 10x speedup over prior methods.

While autoregressive models have advanced 3D generation, creating physically stable brick structures remains a challenge due to the strict requirements of gravity and interconnectivity. Existing approaches rely on external physical simulators during inference to perform rejection sampling and brick-by-brick rollbacks, which severely bottlenecks efficiency. To address this, we propose a reinforcement learning paradigm that shifts physical validity enforcement from test-time correction to training-time policy optimization. By utilizing assembly-level rewards, the model optimizes for collision avoidance, global connectivity, structural interlocking, and shape conformity. This paradigm allows the model to internalize physical priors, enabling the first rollback-free generation of stable brick structures. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art generation quality while accelerating inference speed by orders of magnitude.

We introduce LaviGen, a framework that repurposes 3D generative models for 3D layout generation. Unlike previous methods that infer object layouts from textual descriptions, LaviGen operates directly in the native 3D space, formulating layout generation as an autoregressive process that explicitly models geometric relations and physical constraints among objects, producing coherent and physically plausible 3D scenes. To further enhance this process, we propose an adapted 3D diffusion model that integrates scene, object, and instruction information and employs a dual-guidance self-rollout distillation mechanism to improve efficiency and spatial accuracy. Extensive experiments on the LayoutVLM benchmark show LaviGen achieves superior 3D layout generation performance, with 19% higher physical plausibility than the state of the art and 65% faster computation. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/fenghora/LaviGen.

Recent text-to-scene generation approaches largely reduced the manual efforts required to create 3D scenes. However, their focus is either to generate a scene layout or to generate objects, and few generate both. The generated scene layout is often simple even with LLM's help. Moreover, the generated scene is often inconsistent with the text input that contains non-trivial descriptions of the shape, appearance, and spatial arrangement of the objects. We present a new paradigm of sequential text-to-scene generation and propose a novel generative model for interactive scene creation. At the core is a 3D Autoregressive Diffusion model 3D-ARD+, which unifies the autoregressive generation over a multimodal token sequence and diffusion generation of next-object 3D latents. To generate the next object, the model uses one autoregressive step to generate the coarse-grained 3D latents in the scene space, conditioned on both the current seen text instructions and already synthesized 3D scene. It then uses a second step to generate the 3D latents in the smaller object space, which can be decoded into fine-grained object geometry and appearance. We curate a large dataset of 230K indoor scenes with paired text instructions for training. We evaluate 7B 3D-ARD+, on challenging scenes, and showcase the model can generate and place objects following non-trivial spatial layout and semantics prescribed by the text instructions.

Recent multimodal large language models have achieved strong performance in unified text and image understanding and generation, yet extending such native capability to 3D remains challenging due to limited data. Compared to abundant 2D imagery, high-quality 3D assets are scarce, making 3D synthesis under-constrained. Existing methods often rely on indirect pipelines that edit in 2D and lift results into 3D via optimization, sacrificing geometric consistency. We present Omni123, a 3D-native foundation model that unifies text-to-2D and text-to-3D generation within a single autoregressive framework. Our key insight is that cross-modal consistency between images and 3D can serve as an implicit structural constraint. By representing text, images, and 3D as discrete tokens in a shared sequence space, the model leverages abundant 2D data as a geometric prior to improve 3D representations. We introduce an interleaved X-to-X training paradigm that coordinates diverse cross-modal tasks over heterogeneous paired datasets without requiring fully aligned text-image-3D triplets. By traversing semantic-visual-geometric cycles (e.g., text to image to 3D to image) within autoregressive sequences, the model jointly enforces semantic alignment, appearance fidelity, and multi-view geometric consistency. Experiments show that Omni123 significantly improves text-guided 3D generation and editing, demonstrating a scalable path toward multimodal 3D world models.

Auto-regressive frameworks for next-scale prediction of 2D images have demonstrated strong potential for producing diverse and sophisticated content by progressively refining a coarse input. However, extending this paradigm to 3D object generation remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we introduce auto-regressive Gaussian splatting (ARGS), a framework for making next-scale predictions in parallel for generation according to levels of detail. We propose a Gaussian simplification strategy and reverse the simplification to guide next-scale generation. Benefiting from the use of hierarchical trees, the generation process requires only $\mathcal{O}(\log n)$ steps, where $n$ is the number of points. Furthermore, we propose a tree-based transformer to predict the tree structure auto-regressively, allowing leaf nodes to attend to their internal ancestors to enhance structural consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach effectively generates multi-scale Gaussian representations with controllable levels of detail, visual fidelity, and a manageable time consumption budget.

Most recent advances in 3D generative modeling rely on diffusion or flow-matching formulations. We instead explore a fully autoregressive alternative and introduce GaussianGPT, a transformer-based model that directly generates 3D Gaussians via next-token prediction, thus facilitating full 3D scene generation. We first compress Gaussian primitives into a discrete latent grid using a sparse 3D convolutional autoencoder with vector quantization. The resulting tokens are serialized and modeled using a causal transformer with 3D rotary positional embedding, enabling sequential generation of spatial structure and appearance. Unlike diffusion-based methods that refine scenes holistically, our formulation constructs scenes step-by-step, naturally supporting completion, outpainting, controllable sampling via temperature, and flexible generation horizons. This formulation leverages the compositional inductive biases and scalability of autoregressive modeling while operating on explicit representations compatible with modern neural rendering pipelines, positioning autoregressive transformers as a complementary paradigm for controllable and context-aware 3D generation.

Tokenization is a fundamental technique in the generative modeling of various modalities. In particular, it plays a critical role in autoregressive (AR) models, which have recently emerged as a compelling option for 3D generation. However, optimal tokenization of 3D shapes remains an open question. State-of-the-art (SOTA) methods primarily rely on geometric level-of-detail (LoD) hierarchies, originally designed for rendering and compression. These spatial hierarchies are often token-inefficient and lack semantic coherence for AR modeling. We propose Level-of-Semantics Tokenization (LoST), which orders tokens by semantic salience, such that early prefixes decode into complete, plausible shapes that possess principal semantics, while subsequent tokens refine instance-specific geometric and semantic details. To train LoST, we introduce Relational Inter-Distance Alignment (RIDA), a novel 3D semantic alignment loss that aligns the relational structure of the 3D shape latent space with that of the semantic DINO feature space. Experiments show that LoST achieves SOTA reconstruction, surpassing previous LoD-based 3D shape tokenizers by large margins on both geometric and semantic reconstruction metrics. Moreover, LoST achieves efficient, high-quality AR 3D generation and enables downstream tasks like semantic retrieval, while using only 0.1%-10% of the tokens needed by prior AR models.

We introduce PixARMesh, a method to autoregressively reconstruct complete 3D indoor scene meshes directly from a single RGB image. Unlike prior methods that rely on implicit signed distance fields and post-hoc layout optimization, PixARMesh jointly predicts object layout and geometry within a unified model, producing coherent and artist-ready meshes in a single forward pass. Building on recent advances in mesh generative models, we augment a point-cloud encoder with pixel-aligned image features and global scene context via cross-attention, enabling accurate spatial reasoning from a single image. Scenes are generated autoregressively from a unified token stream containing context, pose, and mesh, yielding compact meshes with high-fidelity geometry. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show that PixARMesh achieves state-of-the-art reconstruction quality while producing lightweight, high-quality meshes ready for downstream applications.

Generative world models for autonomous driving (AD) are of great value in applications such as data augmentation, closed-loop simulation, and safety-critical scenario evaluation. Unlike the widely studied image modality, in this work we explore generative world models for LiDAR data. Existing generation methods for LiDAR predominantly focus on single frame generation or lack the capacity for interactive simulation, while existing prediction approaches require multiple frames of historical input and can only deterministically predict multiple frames at once. Both paradigms fail to support long-horizon interactive generation. To this end, we introduce LaGen, which, to the best of our knowledge is the first autoregressive framework capable of generating long-horizon LiDAR scenes in a frame-by-frame, interactive manner. LaGen is able to take a single-frame input as a starting point and effectively utilize bounding box information as conditions to generate high-fidelity 4D scene. In addition, we introduce a scene decoupling estimation module to enhance the model's interactive generation capability for object-level content, as well as a noise modulation module to mitigate error accumulation during long-horizon generation. We extensively evaluate LaGen's performance in controlled data generation and long-horizon scene generation on the nuScenes dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that LaGen achieves state-of-the-art performance, especially on later frames. The code is publicly available at: https://github.com/szzhou88/LaGen.
