Luce: Relightable Gaussians for 3D Asset Generation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Fusion-Aware Direct 3D Gaussian Generation with Structured Patch Latent Flows

The paper introduces a fusion‑aware hierarchical Gaussian patch representation that enables direct class‑guided generation of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) objects. By decomposing irregular Gaussian sets into canonical local patches and encoding them as structured tokens, the method fuses global class semantics with patch‑level geometry, appearance, spatial correspondence, and rendering‑sensitive cues. A structure‑aware rectified flow model, conditioned on patch positions and coupled with global‑local velocity prediction and density‑aware weighting, produces class‑conditioned 3DGS objects within seconds, achieving more coherent geometry, sharper local details, and better multi‑view consistency than baseline models.

SUPRA-TEX: 3D Generation with Super-Aligned Texture

SUPRA-Tex is a new method for single‑image 3D generation that dresses a 3D mesh with relightable materials while preserving the visual details of a reference image. It decouples visible‑material estimation, surface alignment, and observation‑guided 3D completion, allowing a 3D generator trained on limited data to focus on preserving visible evidence and completing unobserved surfaces. The approach uses an MLLM‑based image editor to predict lighting‑separated PBR maps, projects them onto the visible surface, encodes them with a pretrained material VAE, and employs an interleaved flow transformer to generate complete material latents, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on geometry‑conditioned texturing and end‑to‑end asset generation.

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.
