A Recipe for Generating 3D Worlds from a Single Image

ICCV 2025poster

We introduce a recipe for generating immersive 3D worlds from a single image by framing the task as an in-context learning problem for 2D inpainting models. This approach requires minimal training and uses existing generative models. Our process involves two steps: generating coherent panoramas usin…

FlowR: Flowing from Sparse to Dense 3D Reconstructions

ICCV 2025poster

3D Gaussian splatting enables high-quality novel view synthesis (NVS) at real-time frame rates. However, its quality drops sharply as we depart from the training views. Thus, dense captures are needed to match the high-quality expectations of applications like Virtual Reality (VR). However, such den…

Generative Gaussian Splatting: Generating 3D Scenes with Video Diffusion Priors

ICCV 2025poster

Synthesizing consistent and photorealistic 3D scenes is an open problem in computer vision. Video diffusion models generate impressive videos but cannot directly synthesize 3D representations, i.e., lack 3D consistency in the generated sequences. In addition, directly training generative 3D models i…

Volumetric Surfaces: Representing Fuzzy Geometries with Layered Meshes

CVPR 2025poster

High-quality view synthesis relies on volume rendering, splatting, or surface rendering. While surface rendering is typically the fastest, it struggles to accurately model fuzzy geometry like hair. In turn, alpha-blending techniques excel at representing fuzzy materials but require an unbounded numb…

MultiDiff: Consistent Novel View Synthesis from a Single Image

CVPR 2024poster

We introduce MultiDiff a novel approach for consistent novel view synthesis of scenes from a single RGB image. The task of synthesizing novel views from a single reference image is highly ill-posed by nature as there exist multiple plausible explanations for unobserved areas. To address this issue w…

WildFusion: Learning 3D-Aware Latent Diffusion Models in View Space

ICLR 2024poster

Modern learning-based approaches to 3D-aware image synthesis achieve high photorealism and 3D-consistent viewpoint changes for the generated images. Existing approaches represent instances in a shared canonical space. However, for in-the-wild datasets a shared canonical system can be difficult to de…

NeuralField-LDM: Scene Generation With Hierarchical Latent Diffusion Models

CVPR 2023poster

Automatically generating high-quality real world 3D scenes is of enormous interest for applications such as virtual reality and robotics simulation. Towards this goal, we introduce NeuralField-LDM, a generative model capable of synthesizing complex 3D environments. We leverage Latent Diffusion Model…

ARAH: Animatable Volume Rendering of Articulated Human SDFs

ECCV 2022poster

"Combining human body models with differentiable rendering has recently enabled animatable avatars of clothed humans from sparse sets of multi-view RGB videos. While state-of-the-art approaches achieve a realistic appearance with neural radiance fields (NeRF), the inferred geometry often lacks detai…

VoxGRAF: Fast 3D-Aware Image Synthesis with Sparse Voxel Grids

NeurIPS 2022accept

State-of-the-art 3D-aware generative models rely on coordinate-based MLPs to parameterize 3D radiance fields. While demonstrating impressive results, querying an MLP for every sample along each ray leads to slow rendering. Therefore, existing approaches often render low-resolution feature maps and p…

GRAF: Generative Radiance Fields for 3D-Aware Image Synthesis

NeurIPS 2020poster

While 2D generative adversarial networks have enabled high-resolution image synthesis, they largely lack an understanding of the 3D world and the image formation process. Thus, they do not provide precise control over camera viewpoint or object pose. To address this problem, several recent approache…

Towards Unsupervised Learning of Generative Models for 3D Controllable Image Synthesis

CVPR 2020poster

In recent years, Generative Adversarial Networks have achieved impressive results in photorealistic image synthesis. This progress nurtures hopes that one day the classical rendering pipeline can be replaced by efficient models that are learned directly from images. However, current image synthesis…
