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.

IntrinSync: Joint Intrinsic Decomposition and Reciprocal Rendering

IntrinSync is a unified framework that jointly decomposes an RGB image into albedo, shading, surface normal, roughness, and metallic maps through a 1-to-N mapping, allowing information exchange across channels. It also establishes inverse-forward reciprocity via a dual cycle-consistent objective that aligns predictions across a closed loop, improving coherence and physical consistency. The method demonstrates competitive performance on three datasets and offers a physically grounded interface for image editing by manipulating intrinsic properties and rendering them back into RGB images.

Generative Relightable Avatars

We present Generative Relightable Avatars (GRA), a person-specific method for photorealistic free-view rendering and environment-map relighting of full-body humans. We postulate that modeling fine-grained appearance details is inherently a one-to-many problem that can benefit from a generative formulation.

GLOW: Global Illumination-Aware Inverse Rendering of Indoor Scenes Captured with Dynamic Co-Located Light & Camera

GLOW is a Global Illumination‑aware inverse rendering framework for indoor scenes captured with dynamic co‑located light and camera setups. It combines a neural implicit surface representation with a neural radiance cache to jointly optimize geometry and reflectance, while introducing a dynamic radiance cache and a surface‑angle‑weighted radiometric loss to handle near‑field motion, strong inter‑reflections, and specular highlights. Experiments demonstrate that GLOW significantly outperforms prior methods in estimating material reflectance under both natural and co‑located illumination.
