DiffSoup: Direct Differentiable Rasterization of Triangle Soup for Extreme Radiance Field Simplification

CVPR 2026

Radiance field reconstruction aims to recover high-quality 3D representations from multi-view RGB images. Recent advances, such as 3D Gaussian splatting, enable real-time rendering with high visual fidelity on sufficiently powerful graphics hardware. However, efficient online transmission and render

HyPINO: Multi-Physics Neural Operators via HyperPINNs and the Method of Manufactured Solutions

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

We present HyPINO, a multi-physics neural operator designed for zero-shot generalization across a broad class of parametric PDEs without requiring task-specific fine-tuning. Our approach combines a Swin Transformer-based hypernetwork with mixed supervision: (i) labeled data from analytical solutions…

VLMaterial: Procedural Material Generation with Large Vision-Language Models

ICLR 2025spotlight

Procedural materials, represented as functional node graphs, are ubiquitous in computer graphics for photorealistic material appearance design. They allow users to perform intuitive and precise editing to achieve desired visual appearances. However, creating a procedural material given an input imag…

Monocular Reconstruction of Neural Face Reflectance Fields

CVPR 2021poster

The reflectance field of a face describes the reflectance properties responsible for complex lighting effects including diffuse, specular, inter-reflection and self shadowing. Most existing methods for estimating the face reflectance from a monocular image assume faces to be diffuse with very few ap…

Efficient FEM-Based Simulation of Soft Robots Modeled as Kinematic Chains

ICRA 2018poster

In the context of robotic manipulation and grasping, the shift from a view that is static (force closure of a single posture) and contact-deprived (only contact for force closure is allowed, everything else is obstacle) towards a view that is dynamic and contact-rich (soft manipulation) has led to a…
