Luce: Relightable Gaussians for 3D Asset Generation

Luce is a 3D representation that unifies geometry and physically based rendering (PBR) materials within a voxelized multimodal Gaussian cloud, using dedicated Gaussian primitives for each modality. A variational autoencoder compresses this representation into a unified material‑aware latent space, which a rectified‑flow transformer generates from a single image conditioned on multi‑layer features from a pretrained image encoder. The latent decodes into relightable PBR Gaussians and an optional textured mesh with a tangent‑space normal map, achieving state‑of‑the‑art single‑image‑to‑3D generation on Toys4K and improving CLIP image‑alignment scores on a benchmark of AI‑generated images.
