GS-PI: An Optimization-Decoupled Appearance Decomposition Approach for Generating PBR Gaussian Assets

GS-PI introduces an optimization‑decoupled framework that transforms Gaussian Splatting (GS) assets into physically based rendering (PBR) compatible Gaussian assets. By treating PBR material generation as a geometry‑conditioned diffusion process on 3D point clouds, it achieves multi‑view consistency and avoids the pixel‑correspondence problems of 2D diffusion. The method employs a multi‑scale cross‑view conditioning mechanism—combining global semantic priors, photometric cues, and spatial view‑direction signals—to prevent specular highlights from baking into intrinsic colors, and then distills the predicted attributes back into a fully relightable PBR‑GS asset without requiring proxy meshes.

Intrinsic decomposition and editing of 3D Gaussian splats

arXiv:2606. 31637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intrinsic decomposition which expresses image colors as the product of diffuse albedo and shading, possibly augmented with view-dependent residuals has a long history in image editing as it enables the modification of object colors and textures without altering lighting.

RelightFormer: Feed-forward Generative Transformer for Multiview Object Relighting

RelightFormer is a feed‑forward generative Transformer that performs single‑ and multi‑view image relighting without explicit intrinsic property estimation. It incorporates a latent illumination module that injects target environment maps into spatial features via cross‑attention, and uses permutation‑invariant positional encodings to process unordered multi‑view inputs symmetrically. Trained on the large Laval Objaverse Dataset, the model achieves state‑of‑the‑art visual and photorealistic relighting quality, and demonstrates strong zero‑shot generalization across various relighting tasks.

UniQueR: Unified Query-based Feedforward 3D Reconstruction

UniQueR is a unified query‑based feedforward framework that reconstructs 3D scenes from unposed images by treating reconstruction as a sparse 3D query inference problem. It learns a compact set of 3D anchor points that serve as explicit geometric queries, allowing the network to infer scene structure—including occluded geometry—in a single forward pass. By encoding spatial and appearance priors directly in global 3D space and using a decoupled cross‑attention design, UniQueR achieves strong geometric expressiveness while reducing memory and computational cost, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art feedforward methods on Mip‑NeRF 360 and VR‑NeRF with far fewer primitives.

WilLaGS: Latent-Conditional 3D Appearance Fields for Robust Gaussian Splatting In-the-Wild

WilLaGS introduces a unified framework that enhances 3D Gaussian Splatting for in-the-wild scenes by learning a continuous global appearance manifold with a β‑VAE and generating dynamic Tri‑Plane features for spatially‑varying local illumination. It also incorporates a self‑supervised perceptual masking mechanism using a Teacher‑Student EMA architecture to suppress transient artifacts and identify inconsistent regions. Experiments on multiple datasets show that WilLaGS achieves state‑of‑the‑art reconstruction quality and novel view synthesis while preserving real‑time rendering efficiency.
