3D editing is hard: you need to ground an image + instruction and generate a faithful 3D shape in one forward pass -- no test-time optimization. So, we steer pretrained image-to-3D representations to do text-guided 3D edits; no massive 3D edit-pair dataset needed. Key trap: the “no-edit” solution is a nasty local minimum. We fix it with preference optimization, pushing the model to actually edit. Steer3D is the second work that adapts alignment ideas from LLMs to the 3D modality. SAM 3D also used DPO to improve its 3D generations.

DreamCraft3D: Hierarchical 3D Generation with Bootstrapped Diffusion Prior paper page: present DreamCraft3D, a hierarchical 3D content generation method that produces high-fidelity and coherent 3D objects. We tackle the problem by leveraging a 2D reference image to guide the stages of geometry sculpting and texture boosting. A central focus of this work is to address the consistency issue that existing works encounter. To sculpt geometries that render coherently, we perform score distillation sampling via a view-dependent diffusion model. This 3D prior, alongside several training strategies, prioritizes the geometry consistency but compromises the texture fidelity. We further propose Bootstrapped Score Distillation to specifically boost the texture. We train a personalized diffusion model, Dreambooth, on the augmented renderings of the scene, imbuing it with 3D knowledge of the scene being optimized. The score distillation from this 3D-aware diffusion prior provides view-consistent guidance for the scene. Notably, through an alternating optimization of the diffusion prior and 3D scene representation, we achieve mutually reinforcing improvements: the optimized 3D scene aids in training the scene-specific diffusion model, which offers increasingly view-consistent guidance for 3D optimization. The optimization is thus bootstrapped and leads to substantial texture boosting. With tailored 3D priors throughout the hierarchical generation, DreamCraft3D generates coherent 3D objects with photorealistic renderings, advancing the state-of-the-art in 3D content generation.

Atlas is our production-ready application layer for creators, studios, and enterprises. It is also one of the strongest proof of enterprise adoption for 404, because it helps studios take 3D assets from generation into real production workflows. Atlas provides the depth production teams need, from watertight meshes with retopology to UVs, PBR textures, and rigs, while keeping creators in control at every step.

Introducing WorldView 3D, a first-of-its-kind satellite tasking product that delivers up-to-date 3D ground truth anywhere on Earth. From GPS-denied autonomy and intelligence analysis to consumer-grade mapping and disaster response, the world's most important missions increasingly depend on accurate, up-to-date 3D terrain. But for years, keeping 3D maps current at global scale hasn't been possible. WorldView 3D changes that. Built on Vantor’s trusted spatial foundation, our new tasking capability empowers customers to task and receive updated 3D data within 24 hours of image collection. For missions that require greater fidelity, they can also produce high-definition 3D maps anywhere in the world. 3D is the future of spatial intelligence, and Vantor is leading the change. Our trusted spatial foundation already includes 100 million sq km of the world mapped inhighly accurate 3D. Now customers can update the locations that matter most with the speed, scale, and fidelity required for critical missions. Read the full announcement:
