PART: Learning 3D Part Assembly and Retrieval with Transformers

PART is a transformer-based framework that performs 3D part retrieval and assembly by selecting appropriate parts from a library and predicting their 6‑DoF poses to reconstruct a target shape. It tackles the combinatorial search space, variable‑length outputs, and continuous pose estimation by formulating the task as set prediction and jointly training with a segmentation‑enhanced optimization module. The authors also introduce a large‑scale dataset of over 80,000 shapes and demonstrate that PART generalizes to scene layouts, image targets, and real‑world scans.

Artic-O: End-to-End Articulated Object Reconstruction via Latent Geometry Learning

Artic-O is an end‑to‑end, feed‑forward framework that reconstructs articulated objects from sparse images by learning latent geometry. It maps multi‑state observations into a pretrained latent geometry space, uses a frozen flow‑matching decoder for complete‑shape priors, and fuses visual tokens with geometry latents in an image‑grounded part‑reasoning module to segment active parts and predict articulation. Trained with a geometry‑to‑articulation curriculum and a decoupled two‑pass strategy, Artic‑O achieves high reconstruction quality and articulation accuracy while drastically reducing inference time from 9 minutes to about 0.3 seconds per object.

FAMOS: Feed-Forward 3D Articulation Modeling from Sparse Observations

FAMOS is a feed‑forward model that predicts movable‑part segmentation and joint parameters from a sparse, unordered set of partial point clouds. It jointly reasons over multiple observations using a Multi‑state Articulation Transformer that alternates state‑wise and global attention, and introduces an observed articulation span objective to supervise motion ranges across inputs. A procedural data generator supplies self‑annotated assets for training, and experiments on PartNet‑Mobility, ACD, and ArtiCraft‑10K show consistent improvements over existing feed‑forward and optimization‑based baselines.

SCULPT: Subtractive Composition for 3D Part Generation

Part-aware 3D generation aims to create digital assets that are coherent as complete objects while exposing structural parts for editing, material assignment, animation, and reuse. Existing methods impose this structure outside the native generation loop: segmentation-based methods partition an already generated shape, while additive methods synthesize parts from predefined layouts, boxes, or tokens and then reconcile them into a whole.

PWM-ArtGen: Part World Model for Articulated Object Generation

The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps.

PriorPose: Reference-Guided Joint Deformation and Alignment for Category-Level Object Pose Estimation

PriorPose introduces a reference-guided correspondence framework for category-level object pose estimation that jointly performs canonicalization and alignment in a shared feature space. By embedding partial observations and a category prior as token sets in a seeded transformer, the network predicts per-point NOCS fields and a canonical deformation, while a deep pose head regresses the similarity transform. A two-part shape consistency objective couples correspondence, deformation, and pose, reducing reliance on memorized canonical orientations and avoiding error cascades, leading to state-of-the-art results on standard and larger-category benchmarks, especially under strict pose thresholds.

FunArt: Decoding Functional Structure and Articulation from Generative 3D Latents

FunArt is a framework that builds articulation‑aware functional 3D scene graphs from a single static RGB‑D observation. It reconstructs object instances, converts their geometry into the O‑Voxel representation of TRELLIS.2, and uses a frozen sparse‑compression VAE as a structural prior. A lightweight query‑based decoder jointly segments movable parts and functional interactive elements while estimating motion type, axis, origin, and range, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on the Articulate3D dataset.
