At its core is a generalized 3D head decoder trained with perceptual supervision from DINOv2 and SAM 2.1. We find that our new perceptual loss formulation improves reconstruction fidelity compared to commonly-used methods such as LPIPS. Our trained reconstruction model is able to generate 3D-consistent heads from a single input image. Even with challenging side-view inputs, the model robustly infers missing regions for a coherent, high-fidelity output. In addition, our architecture seamlessly adapts to downstream tasks: by swapping the encoder, we can transform the model into a disentangled 3D editing pipeline. In this scenario, we can control geometry through - potentially hand-drawn - segmentation maps, and condition style via image or text prompt. We also provide an interactive GUI to enable the exploration of our editing pipeline. 🌍 📽️ Great work by Antonio Oroz and Tobias Kirschstein

📢 SHeaP: Self-Supervised Head Predictor Learned via 2D Gaussians 📢 Given a single input image, we predict accurate 3D head geometry, pose, and expression. Previous works (e.g. DECA, EMOCA) use differentiable mesh rasterization to learn a self-supervised head geometry predictor via a photometric reconstruction loss. We borrow these ideas, but our key insight is to replace the mesh rendering with 2D Gaussian Splatting. This leads to much higher accuracy of the underlying predicted geometry and thus more gradient signal during training. 🌍 🎥 Great work by Liam Schoneveld Davide Davoli Jiapeng Tang

📢📢GenRecon: Bridging Generative Priors for Multi-View 3D Scene Reconstruction📢📢 Reconstructing high-fidelity 3D scenes from sparse RGB input is hard. It needs a strong 3D prior! We reformulate multi-view scene reconstruction as conditional 3D generation over overlapping spatial chunks, lifting posed image features into a generative shape prior via 3D conditioning. As an example prior, we build on Trellis2, and train it such that its reconstruction is pixel aligned and matches from all views. GenRecon achieves unprecedented reconstruction quality from any sparse RGB input sequence, even from a phone capture. The reconstruction also includes PBR materials which facilitates relighting and virtual object insertion. Amazing work by Katharina Schmid, Nicolas von Lützow, Jozef, Angela Dai

🚀Announcing NeRSemble 3D Head Avatar Benchmark v2 Version 2 of the NeRSemble 3D Head Avatar Benchmark systematically evaluates several aspects of 3D head avatar creation. Our goal is to drive progress toward more realistic, robust, and generalizable avatar methods. 🔬Benchmark Tasks The NeRSemble Benchmark v2 features three core challenges: - Dynamic Novel View Synthesis - Monocular FLAME-driven Avatar Creation (updated) - Single-view 3D Face Reconstruction (new) 👉Explore the online leaderboard and submission system: 🆕What's new? 1. New Task: Single-view 3D Face Reconstruction Given a single portrait image, reconstruct an accurate 3D mesh either showing the input expression or a fully neutral one. Unlike prior benchmarks, the NeRSemble benchmark emphasizes diverse and challenging facial expressions, better reflecting real scenarios. For technical details, see the Pixel3DMM paper. 2. Updated task: Monocular FLAME-driven Avatar Creation We have improved the FLAME tracking that is used for both avatar creation from the monocular videos and avatar driving on the hidden test sequences. The updated benchmark task has: - more stable torso tracking - more expressive lip closures during speech - Improved mouth tracking for challenging facial expressions We hope that these improvements to the benchmark help drive the field forward. 🏆 CVPR 2026 Workshop & Prizes The NeRSemble benchmark will be featured at the CVPR 2026 Workshop on Photo-realistic 3D Head Avatars. Participants in the new and updated tasks have the opportunity to win: - 🎁RTX 5080 GPUs (sponsored by NVIDIA) - 🎤15-minute oral presentation at the workshop ⏰ Submission Deadline - May 26, 2026 Reach out to the amazing Tobias Kirschstein and Simon Giebenhain for more details :)

📢📢 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐭𝟑𝐫 📢📢 Avat3r creates high-quality 3D head avatars from just a few input images in a single forward pass with a new dynamic 3DGS reconstruction model. Video: Project: Our core idea is to make Gaussian Reconstruction Models animatable. We find that a simple cross-attention to an expression code sequence is already sufficient to model complex facial expressions. We then incorporate position maps from DUSt3R and feature maps from Sapiens to facilitate the prediction task. While DUSt3R's position maps act as a pixel-aligned initialization for the Gaussians' positions, the Sapiens feature maps help the cross-view transformer to match corresponding image tokens in the 4 input images. One major challenge in creating a 3D head avatar from smartphone images comes from inconsistent facial expressions when the subject could not remain perfectly static during the capture. We eliminate this static requirement by simply showing our model input images with different facial expressions during training. This technique makes our model robust to inconsistent input images later on. Finally, we show that despite the model has been trained with 4 input images, one can even create a 3D head avatar when only a single image is available. To achieve this, we employ a pre-trained 3D GAN to lift the single image to 3D and then render the 4 input images for our model. This allows us to create 3D head avatars from single images and even highly out-of-distribution examples like AI generated faces, paintings or statues.

Magic123: One Image to High-Quality 3D Object Generation Using Both 2D and 3D Diffusion Priors paper page: present Magic123, a two-stage coarse-to-fine approach for high-quality, textured 3D meshes generation from a single unposed image in the wild using both2D and 3D priors. In the first stage, we optimize a neural radiance field to produce a coarse geometry. In the second stage, we adopt a memory-efficient differentiable mesh representation to yield a high-resolution mesh with a visually appealing texture. In both stages, the 3D content is learned through reference view supervision and novel views guided by a combination of 2D and 3D diffusion priors. We introduce a single trade-off parameter between the 2D and 3D priors to control exploration (more imaginative) and exploitation (more precise) of the generated geometry. Additionally, we employ textual inversion and monocular depth regularization to encourage consistent appearances across views and to prevent degenerate solutions, respectively. Magic123 demonstrates a significant improvement over previous image-to-3D techniques, as validated through extensive experiments on synthetic benchmarks and diverse real-world images.
