Neural Voxel Dynamics: Learning Volumetric Feature Advection for 3D Physics in V-JEPA Latent Space

Neural Voxel Dynamics introduces a self‑supervised framework that learns 3D latent dynamics from monocular video by unprojecting V‑JEPAs features into a voxel grid using depth priors. It then applies Volumetric Feature Advection, an action‑conditioned transition model, to predict the evolution of these latent features directly in 3D, without relying on privileged physics‑engine states. The method is evaluated on synthetic and real datasets, demonstrating predictive fidelity, 3D geometric consistency, and physical plausibility via Physics‑IQ metrics.

AutoPhyX: Automatic Text-Condition Physics Property Generation

AutoPhyX is a text-conditioned framework that predicts spatially-varying physical properties for 4D physical simulation. It uses a novel part-controllable data generation pipeline to create fine-grained, semantically distinct 3D assets paired with diverse parameters and text descriptions. The model employs cross-modal modulation to dynamically adjust visual features based on text, enabling accurate, physically plausible parameter assignment across various 3D representations in a single forward pass.

Sparse auto-regressive modeling for scene generation from multi-view images

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. By representing only occupied voxels in a compact latent space and training a masked autoregressive transformer with photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, the method predicts missing latent tokens and spatial support, enabling efficient and spatially consistent generation of unseen regions. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k demonstrate higher novel‑view quality and real‑world applicability compared to prior work.

It learns a compact voxel‑aligned latent space using photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, and employs a masked autoregressive transformer to predict missing voxel occupancy and latent tokens. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k show that SPAR3S achieves higher novel‑view quality than prior methods and generalizes to real‑world data.
