arXiv:2605. 14398v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Video-based world models generate visually plausible rollouts, but since they infer dynamics in latent states, they enforce no explicit physical constraints: contacts drift, shapes distort, and motion loses consistency.

Most recent 3D reconstruction and editing systems operate on implicit and explicit representations such as NeRF, point clouds, or meshes. While these representations enable high-fidelity rendering, they are fundamentally low-level and hard to control programmatically.
LLM agents are increasingly used to translate natural language into 3D scenes in a procedural way, but existing systems focus on static output. Dynamic 4D scenes from text alone, in which liquids flow, particles emit, rigid bodies cascade, and articulated mechanisms move, remain largely unexplored despite their value as editable content and as physics-grounded training data for video generation and embodied AI.
arXiv:2606. 01057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Procedural 3D modeling through code is emerging as a versatile paradigm, offering deterministic, engine-ready, and precisely editable assets that neural 3D generators inherently lack.

HARMONY is a hierarchical chain-of-thought framework that reconstructs complete 3D indoor scenes from a single monocular image. It combines agentic reasoning with visual geometry foundation models, starting with camera calibration and semantic layout recovery, then placing objects hierarchically while refining geometry with point cloud estimations. The method achieves semantically consistent scenes that align perceptually with the input image, outperforming existing baselines on synthetic and real-world data.

SceneTeract is a verification interface that separates semantic action understanding from physical feasibility in indoor 3D scenes. It decomposes activities into atomic actions and performs explicit geometric checks to determine executability, providing diagnostic traces for failures. The system reveals widespread functional and accessibility issues in synthetic scenes, shows that existing VLMs over‑predict action feasibility, and improves VLM performance through post‑training with verifier feedback, with benefits that generalize to real‑world scenes.

Procedura is a new 3D modeling agent that treats 3D shape as code, using a large language model to generate a procedural assembly from a text prompt. It constructs an assembly graph, writes a parametric program with named parts and typed mates, and verifies each part through compile, mate, and connectivity checks before adding it. A vision critic refines the assembly step‑by‑step, and the resulting program includes per‑part materials and simulator‑validated articulation, producing sharp edges and editable, part‑structured outputs that outperform existing native 3D generators on P3D‑Bench and MechBench‑36.
