PoseDreamer: Scalable and Photorealistic Human Data Generation Pipeline with Diffusion Models

PoseDreamer is a new pipeline that uses diffusion models to generate large‑scale synthetic datasets for 3D human mesh estimation, providing 3D mesh annotations that remain aligned with the generated images. The system incorporates controllable image generation, Direct Preference Optimization for control alignment, curriculum‑based hard sample mining, and multi‑stage quality filtering to produce over 500,000 high‑quality samples with a 76% improvement in image‑quality metrics over traditional rendering‑based datasets. Models trained on PoseDreamer match or surpass those trained on real‑world or conventional synthetic data, and combining PoseDreamer with synthetic datasets yields better performance than mixing real and synthetic data alone.

Cyc3D: Evaluating Cyclic Structural Stability and Asset Usability in Image-to-3D Generation

Cyc3D is a new benchmark for image‑to‑3D generation that evaluates both Cross‑View Object Consistency and Representation Quality. It introduces a closed‑loop View‑Cycle Structural Consistency protocol to measure geometric, perceptual, and semantic drift across repeated render‑regenerate cycles, and also assesses asset usability through geometric structure, fidelity, mesh discretization, and UV quality. Experiments show that closed‑source models outperform open‑source baselines yet still score below 48 on cycle stability, highlighting a gap between visual plausibility and robust 3D understanding.

3D-DefectBench: A Controlled Factorial Study of Vision-Language Model Evaluation Pipelines for Fine-Grained 3D Generation Defects

Automated evaluation is essential for scaling generative 3D systems, where exhaustive human review is costly and slow. However, the reliability of an automated judge depends on the entire evaluation pipeline, not only the underlying vision-language model (VLM), but also how assets are rendered, what visual evidence is provided, how the task is specified, and how human reference labels are constructed.
