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.
