Competition 2: Mesh Generation 🦾 Until now, our subnet... has focused on Gaussian splats. That work led to integrations with Unity, building the world’s largest 3D dataset, and early application deployments with real users and organic traffic growth. 🕹️ The next step is clear. Developers want native mesh generation that drops straight into existing game pipelines and unlocks real production use today. 🤖 Our competition format lets us move flexibly between goals, optimizing for near term commercial utility with meshes and balancing longer term research with Gaussian splat world models and digital twins. 📈 With significant open source mesh models releasing in the past weeks, the timing is right and the bar for miner innovation has never been higher. Mesh competition launches in 2 weeks!show more

📢 Our lab has been exploring 3D world models... for years — and we’re thrilled to share **PhysTwin**: a milestone that reconstructs object appearance, geometry, and dynamics from just a few seconds of interaction! Led by the amazing Hanxiao Jiang 👉 PhysTwin combines **Gaussian splatting** with **inverse dynamics optimization** based on simple **spring-mass** systems. ⚙️ The result? Real-time, action-conditioned 3D video prediction under novel interactions (i.e., 3D world models). 🔑 A few key takeaways: 1. Having the right structure (e.g., particles/masses) helps navigate the trade-off between sample efficiency, generalization, and broad applicability. 2. Visual foundation models (VFMs) have matured to the point where they can provide rich supervision for world modeling (e.g., tracking, shape completion). 3. Beyond VFMs, many crucial components have come together in recent years: Gaussian splats for rendering, NVIDIA Warp for high-performance simulation, and scene/asset generation from a wide range of labs and companies. The future of 3D world models is looking bright! ✨ 4. The resulting digital twin supports a wide range of downstream applications—especially in data generation and policy evaluation, thanks to its realistic rendering and simulation capabilities. 🎥 All code and data to reproduce the results, along with interactive demos, are available on the website. Check the following visualizations of: (1) observations, (2) reconstructed state/actions, (3) interactive digital twins, and (4) the overlays between real-world robot teleoperation and our model’s open-loop predictions.show more

GSTAR: Gaussian Surface Tracking and Reconstruction Contributions: • A... new framework for tracking and reconstructing dynamic scenes, combining 3D Gaussians and meshes to effectively manage changes in topology. • A method for Gaussian unbinding and surface re-meshing, allowing for the generation of new surfaces as topologies evolve. • A method for handling large or fast deformations of surfaces between frames using scene flow warping. Abstract (excerpt): However, tracking dynamic surfaces with 3D Gaussians remains challenging due to complex topology changes, such as surfaces appearing, disappearing, or splitting. To address these challenges, we propose GSTAR, a novel method that achieves photo-realistic rendering, accurate surface reconstruction, and reliable 3D tracking for general dynamic scenes with changing topology. Given multi-view captures as input, GSTAR binds Gaussians to mesh faces to represent dynamic objects. For surfaces with consistent topology, GSTAR maintains the mesh topology and tracks the meshes using Gaussians.show more

✨ From Mesh to 3D Gaussians - Shaded in... Deferred Style ✨ By Stefano Scolari (with link to repo in the comment) When converting a mesh to 3DGS model, the Gaussians are embedded with PBR properties and normal info during conversion. This prepares them for shading, similar to traditional geometry. In this scenario, Stefano used a deferred approach for shading to demonstrate how seamlessly it translates from triangle-based pipelines. 🔥 Fun fact: The mesh-to-splat conversion only needs to occur once, but it's so fast you could actually run it every frame. Here’s the full pipeline: - Mesh-to-splat conversion pass - Depth pre-pass - Sort - Gaussian pre-pass (projective computations, etc.) - GBuffer rendering pass - Shadow pass - Deferred lighting pass This is the same classic deferred pipeline, but with Gaussians instead of triangles. Real-time relighting of converted assets? Totally possible.show more

Apple just trained a 3D Gaussian head reconstruction model... on 10,000+ subjects. Feed-forward. No test-time optimization. New identity in, reconstructed Gaussian head out. The UV-parameterized Gaussian representation decouples the number of Gaussians from the number and resolution of input images, making it practical to train with many high resolution views. And the heads are not just static either: text-conditioned identity generation, plus blendshape-driven latent animation across identities. We've been building in the 3D Gaussian Splatting space for a while. The gap between "research demo" and "works on real people at scale" is closing fast.show more
