The latest Procedural Content coverage curated for game developers.
arXiv cs.GR details Mira-Scene, a 3D scene reconstruction method that aligns generated objects to pixels instead of relying on sparse pose guesses. For game teams building scene tools or AI-assisted …
arXiv cs.GR details a method that pushes physically based rendering into the latent space used by diffusion models. The approach aims to make image generation more controllable by simulating light …
arXiv cs.GR details PART, a transformer-based system that can retrieve 3D parts from a library and assemble them into a target shape. The approach tackles variable part counts and 6-DoF …
KaiNinja extends native 3D generation from whole objects to editable parts, targeting the pain point of fused meshes that are awkward to rig, simulate, or modify. Built on TRELLIS.2, it …
ATOP is a new 3D part-articulation method that lets creators drive object motion from text and personalize it with motion examples. For game teams, that points to faster iteration on …
Researchers have introduced Grow3D, a hierarchical octree-based method for generating 3D shapes with higher fidelity and faster inference. The approach predicts the next scale of an octree step by step, …
SNAP3D tackles a common failure mode in part-aware 3D generation: parts that look right but cannot actually assemble. The system uses physics feedback to reduce interpenetration, infer contact relationships, and …
New research shows off-the-shelf vision-language models can be pushed toward SVG generation with constrained decoding and iterative refinement. The biggest win is higher compilation success, but the models still struggle …
arXiv cs.GR details MultiCube, a 3D generation method that gives creators part-level control over both meaning and placement. It builds compositional meshes from a text prompt, a part schema, and …
MeshFlow generates triangle meshes directly with equivariant flow matching, sidestepping long autoregressive mesh sequences. The method respects face and vertex permutation symmetries and reports quality on par with leading mesh …
A new 3D creation pipeline pairs a custom DSL with a multi-agent LLM workflow to make programmatic content generation less brittle. The system replaces fragile absolute coordinates with relational operators, …
MegaParts pushes part-aware 3D generation to 300 parts by pairing an autoregressive model with a token-efficient VQ shape tokenizer. For game teams, the practical angle is finer control over complex …
RealMat combines Stable Diffusion XL with reinforcement learning to generate more believable material maps for 3D authoring. The pipeline starts from synthetic 2×2 material grids, then pushes the model toward …
Meshy T2 can turn an image into a mesh in a median of 6 seconds, using flow matching instead of slow autoregressive token decoding. The system generates topology natively, preserving …
A new geometric-mechanics formulation reframes elastic curves as critical points of length with fixed area and volume vectors, which is a cleaner fit for rigid-body symmetries. For graphics and simulation …
Nova3D turns 3D asset generation into executable Blender code instead of a sealed mesh. The system produced valid outputs for all 54 benchmark items, with named parts, assembly trees, numeric …
A new HCI/graphics prototype called Spatula generates on-demand, in-situ controls for motion graphics attributes, aiming to make iterative tuning feel closer to direct manipulation. In a 12-person study, it was …
A new 3D generative modeling framework uses concept bottlenecks to make geometry models more interpretable and steerable. In a proof-of-concept part-manipulation test, it reached 88.8% concept prediction accuracy and a …
MeshFlow replaces slow auto-regressive mesh tokenization with a continuous latent VAE plus a rectified-flow transformer, and it claims 18x faster generation than the fastest AR baseline. For graphics and tools …
CompoSE is a new 3D shape synthesis system that lets creators place coarse part layouts and get back editable, part-separated objects. It uses a diffusion transformer to balance local part …
