🚀We have PhD openings in my lab! 3D got pretty interesting :) Generation is getting better, which makes real scenes more interesting: things get used, opened, moved, etc We want to understand that in 3D: function, dynamics, physics 👉apply 3dunderstanding.org/openings.html or via ELLIS

📢WorldMesh is accepted to #ECCV2026, and we're releasing the code today! 🎉 Led by Manuel Schneider: navigable, multi-room 3D scenes from a text prompt, with a mesh scaffold conditioning image diffusion for global consistency + photorealistic detail. 👇 t.co/8fXCl2flIu

📢UnfoldArt recovers articulated 3D objects from image or text! Amine Boudjoghra uses 🤖multi-agent reasoning for articulation +🎥 video priors for high-fidelity geometry & interiors → Get interactable URDFs for furniture, helicopters, humanoids, & more! 👉https://aminebdj.github.io/unfoldart/

Check out our #ECCV2026 work on visibility-guided flow matching for scan completion, mesh-guided 3d world generation, artist-like 3d mesh generation, & agentic 3D world synthesis! Congrats Quan Meng, Manuel Schneider, Haoxuan Li, Ziya Erkoc for amazing work :)

Come by our ScanNet++ workshop at #CVPR June 3 in 710, 1:00pm onwards! 5 exciting keynotes on world models, NVS & 3D gen+perception and more, from Andrea Tagliasacchi, David Novotny, Or Litany, Peter Hedman, Deva Ramanan, and talks from benchmark winners! Check it out: t.co/DtU3Qg3jqd

📢Seen2Scene Real-world 3D is incomplete, typically requiring training on synthetic scene data. Quan Meng introduces visibility-guided flow matching, enabling training on real partial scans for scan completion & text-to-3D scene generation! Check it out: quan-meng.github.io/projects/see...

📢Lookalike3D: Seeing Double in 3D @cyeshwanth.bsky.social enables holistic, instance-consistent 3D object reconstruction & part segmentation by detecting identical and near-identical objects from multiview images. Built on a dataset of 76k curated object pairs cy94.github.io/lookalike3d/

Image & video synthesis struggle with the scale of truly large 3D scenes. Manuel Schneider presents a geometry-first approach: - geometric structure first: mesh scaffold defining the scene - then appearance: mesh-conditioned image generation Check it out: mschneider456.github.io/world-mesh/
