Magpie: Real-Time World Renderer for Interactive Games

Modern game development relies heavily on conventional graphics pipelines. High-quality visual content requires modeling, material authoring, animation, lighting, effects, and runtime optimization, making asset production expensive and extending the development cycle of game prototypes. Recently, video foundation models are beginning to change film and video production, but games differ from linear media, they require not only continuous and realistic imagery, but also stable and reproducible gameplay rules, object states, and interaction outcomes. We present Magpie, a real-time generative world-rendering system for interactive games. Magpie separates gameplay execution from visual generation. Designers define scenes and rules in a game engine. At runtime, the Game Engine resolves player actions and maintains world state, while an independent Render Server generates visual output from white-box frames produced by the engine. Magpie provides a system-level implementation path for applying generative models to real-time game rendering. It preserves gameplay designability and reproducibility, and reduces the dependence of early game prototypes on complete visual assets.

KV-Control: Parameter-Efficient K/V Injection for Trajectory-Controlled Text-to-Motion

Text-conditioned 3D human motion models now synthesize plausible motions from prompts, but practical animation and embodied-agent workflows rarely stop at text: a character may need to follow a sketched root path, hit an end-effector target, or satisfy a multi-joint trajectory while still preserving the gait, style, and intent described by language. This exposes a control trade-off. A trajectory controller should be precise without overwriting the pretrained text-conditioned motion prior, yet existing solutions either duplicate large portions of the generator to regain per-layer control access or move much of the cost to test-time optimization. We introduce KV-Control, a compact attention-side control interface for frozen masked text-to-motion transformers. The key idea is to make geometric constraints available as memory inside self-attention rather than injecting them through a global pose token or enforcing them only at the output side. To support this interface, we co-design a part-tokenized motion substrate and controller: \textbf{PartVQ} learns anatomy-aligned part codebooks, T-Concat exposes each frame--part token as an attention-addressable site, and KV-Control injects control-conditioned key/value memories at every self-attention layer while preserving the pretrained query stream, text cross-attention, FFN, and all backbone weights. The resulting adapter adds only trainable injection parameters atop a shared trajectory encoder, yet tracks root and multi-joint constraints with sub-centimeter accuracy under the inherited refinement protocol while retaining text-conditioned motion quality. KV-Control reframes trajectory conditioning as lightweight memory retrieval, providing a small, precise, and transparent control interface for text-to-motion generation.

AnchorRoute: Human Motion Synthesis with Interval-Routed Sparse Contro

Sparse anchors provide a compact interface for human motion authoring: users specify a few root positions, planar trajectory samples, or body-point targets, while the system synthesizes the full-body motion that completes the under-specified intent. We present AnchorRoute, a sparse-anchor motion synthesis framework that uses anchors as a shared scaffold for both generation and refinement. Before generation, AnchorRoute converts sparse anchors into anchor-condition features and injects the resulting condition memory into a frozen Transition Masked Diffusion prior through AnchorKV and dual-context conditioning. This preserves the generation quality of the pretrained text-to-motion prior while learning sparse spatial control. After generation, the same anchors are evaluated as residuals: their timestamps define refinement intervals, and their residuals determine where correction should be concentrated. RouteSolver then refines the motion by projecting soft-token updates onto anchor-defined piecewise-affine interval bases. This couples generation-time anchor conditioning with residual-routed refinement under one anchor scaffold. AnchorRoute supports root-3D, planar-root, and body-point control within the same formulation. In benchmark evaluations, AnchorRoute outperforms prior sparse-control methods under the sparse keyjoint protocol and consistently improves anchor adherence across control families. The results show that the learned anchor-conditioned generator and RouteSolver refinement are complementary: the generator preserves text-motion quality, while RouteSolver provides a controllable path toward stronger anchor adherence.

UMo: Unified Sparse Motion Modeling for Real-Time Co-Speech Avatars

Speech-driven gestures and facial animations are fundamental to expressive digital avatars in games, virtual production, and interactive media. However, existing methods are either limited to a single modality for audio motion alignment, failing to fully utilize the potential of massive human motion data, or are constrained by the representation ability and throughput of multimodal models, which makes it difficult to achieve high-quality motion generation or real-time performance. We present UMo, a unified sparse motion modeling architecture for real-time co-speech avatars, which processes text, audio, and motion tokens within a unified formulation. Leveraging a spatially sparse Mixture-of-Experts framework and a temporally sparse, keyframe-centric design, UMo efficiently performs real-time dense reconstruction, enabling temporally coherent and high-fidelity animation generation for both facial expressions and gestures. Furthermore, we implement a multi-stage training strategy with targeted audio augmentation to enhance acoustic diversity and semantic consistency. Consequently, UMo preserves fine-grained speech-motion alignment even under strict latency constraints. Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations show that UMo achieves better output quality under low latency and real-time performance constraints, offering a practical solution for high-fidelity real-time co-speech avatars.

BrepGaussian: CAD reconstruction from Multi-View Images with Gaussian Splatting

The boundary representation (B-Rep) models a 3D solid as its explicit boundaries: trimmed corners, edges, and faces. Recovering B-Rep representation from unstructured data is a challenging and valuable task of computer vision and graphics. Recent advances in deep learning have greatly improved the recovery of 3D shape geometry, but still depend on dense and clean point clouds and struggle to generalize to novel shapes. We propose B-Rep Gaussian Splatting (BrepGaussian), a novel framework that learns 3D parametric representations from 2D images. We employ a Gaussian Splatting renderer with learnable features, followed by a specific fitting strategy. To disentangle geometry reconstruction and feature learning, we introduce a two-stage learning framework that first captures geometry and edges and then refines patch features to achieve clean geometry and coherent instance representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our approach to state-of-the-art methods.

Flatten The Complex: Joint B-Rep Generation via Compositional $k$-Cell Particles

Boundary Representation (B-Rep) is the widely adopted standard in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and manufacturing. However, generative modeling of B-Reps remains a formidable challenge due to their inherent heterogeneity as geometric cell complexes, which entangles topology with geometry across cells of varying orders (i.e., $k$-cells such as vertices, edges, faces). Previous methods typically rely on cascaded sequences to handle this hierarchy, which fails to fully exploit the geometric relationships between cells, such as adjacency and sharing, limiting context awareness and error recovery. To fill this gap, we introduce a novel paradigm that reformulates B-Reps into sets of compositional $k$-cell particles. Our approach encodes each topological entity as a composition of particles, where adjacent cells share identical latents at their interfaces, thereby promoting geometric coupling along shared boundaries. By decoupling the rigid hierarchy, our representation unifies vertices, edges, and faces, enabling the joint generation of topology and geometry with global context awareness. We synthesize these particle sets using a multi-modal flow matching framework to handle unconditional generation as well as precise conditional tasks, such as 3D reconstruction from single-view or point cloud. Furthermore, the explicit and localized nature of our representation naturally extends to downstream tasks like local in-painting and enables the direct synthesis of non-manifold structures (e.g., wireframes). Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method produces high-fidelity CAD models with superior validity and editability compared to state-of-the-art methods.

DOGE: Differentiable Bezier Graph Optimization for Road Network Extraction

Automatic extraction of road networks from aerial imagery is a fundamental task, yet prevailing methods rely on polylines that struggle to model curvilinear geometry. We maintain that road geometry is inherently curve-based and introduce the B\'ezier Graph, a differentiable parametric curve-based representation. The primary obstacle to this representation is to obtain the difficult-to-construct vector ground-truth (GT). We sidestep this bottleneck by reframing the task as a global optimization problem over the B\'ezier Graph. Our framework, DOGE, operationalizes this paradigm by learning a parametric B\'ezier Graph directly from segmentation masks, eliminating the need for curve GT. DOGE holistically optimizes the graph by alternating between two complementary modules: DiffAlign continuously optimizes geometry via differentiable rendering, while TopoAdapt uses discrete operators to refine its topology. Our method sets a new state-of-the-art on the large-scale SpaceNet and CityScale benchmarks, presenting a new paradigm for generating high-fidelity vector maps of road networks. We will release our code and related data.

MatMart: Material Reconstruction of 3D Objects via Diffusion

Applying diffusion models to physically-based material estimation and generation has recently gained prominence. In this paper, we propose \ttt, a novel material reconstruction framework for 3D objects, offering the following advantages. First, \ttt\ adopts a two-stage reconstruction, starting with accurate material prediction from inputs and followed by prior-guided material generation for unobserved views, yielding high-fidelity results. Second, by utilizing progressive inference alongside the proposed view-material cross-attention (VMCA), \ttt\ enables reconstruction from an arbitrary number of input images, demonstrating strong scalability and flexibility. Finally, \ttt\ achieves both material prediction and generation capabilities through end-to-end optimization of a single diffusion model, without relying on additional pre-trained models, thereby exhibiting enhanced stability across various types of objects. Extensive experiments demonstrate that \ttt\ achieves superior performance in material reconstruction compared to existing methods.

LoG3D: Ultra-High-Resolution 3D Shape Modeling via Local-to-Global Partitioning

Generating high-fidelity 3D contents remains a fundamental challenge due to the complexity of representing arbitrary topologies-such as open surfaces and intricate internal structures-while preserving geometric details. Prevailing methods based on signed distance fields (SDFs) are hampered by costly watertight preprocessing and struggle with non-manifold geometries, while point-cloud representations often suffer from sampling artifacts and surface discontinuities. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel 3D variational autoencoder (VAE) framework built upon unsigned distance fields (UDFs)-a more robust and computationally efficient representation that naturally handles complex and incomplete shapes. Our core innovation is a local-to-global (LoG) architecture that processes the UDF by partitioning it into uniform subvolumes, termed UBlocks. This architecture couples 3D convolutions for capturing local detail with sparse transformers for enforcing global coherence. A Pad-Average strategy further ensures smooth transitions at subvolume boundaries during reconstruction. This modular design enables seamless scaling to ultra-high resolutions up to $2048^3$-a regime previously unattainable for 3D VAEs. Experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in both reconstruction accuracy and generative quality, yielding superior surface smoothness and geometric flexibility.

Actial: Activate Spatial Reasoning Ability of Multimodal Large Language Models

Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly improved 2D visual understanding, prompting interest in their application to complex 3D reasoning tasks. However, it remains unclear whether these models can effectively capture the detailed spatial information required for robust real-world performance, especially cross-view consistency, a key requirement for accurate 3D reasoning. Considering this issue, we introduce Viewpoint Learning, a task designed to evaluate and improve the spatial reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. We present the Viewpoint-100K dataset, consisting of 100K object-centric image pairs with diverse viewpoints and corresponding question-answer pairs. Our approach employs a two-stage fine-tuning strategy: first, foundational knowledge is injected to the baseline MLLM via Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on Viewpoint-100K, resulting in significant improvements across multiple tasks; second, generalization is enhanced through Reinforcement Learning using the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) algorithm on a broader set of questions. Additionally, we introduce a hybrid cold-start initialization method designed to simultaneously learn viewpoint representations and maintain coherent reasoning thinking. Experimental results show that our approach significantly activates the spatial reasoning ability of MLLM, improving performance on both in-domain and out-of-domain reasoning tasks. Our findings highlight the value of developing foundational spatial skills in MLLMs, supporting future progress in robotics, autonomous systems, and 3D scene understanding.

InternSVG: Towards Unified SVG Tasks with Multimodal Large Language Models

General SVG modeling remains challenging due to fragmented datasets, limited transferability of methods across tasks, and the difficulty of handling structural complexity. In response, we leverage the strong transfer and generalization capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to achieve unified modeling for SVG understanding, editing, and generation. We present the InternSVG family, an integrated data-benchmark-model suite. At its core is SAgoge, the largest and most comprehensive multimodal dataset for SVG tasks, encompassing both static graphics and dynamic animations. It covers icons, long-sequence illustrations, scientific diagrams, and dynamic animations, supporting tasks of varied difficulty levels and providing deeper hierarchies with richer attributes compared to previous datasets. Based on this resource, we introduce SArena, a companion benchmark with comprehensive task definitions and standardized evaluation that aligns with the domains and difficulty spectrum covered by SAgoge. Building on these foundations, we propose InternSVG, a unified MLLM for SVG understanding, editing, and generation with SVG-specific special tokens, subword-based embedding initialization, and a two-stage training strategy that progresses from short static SVGs to long-sequence illustrations and complex animations. This unified formulation induces positive transfer and improves overall performance. Experiments on SArena and prior benchmark confirm that InternSVG achieves substantial gains and consistently outperforms leading open and proprietary counterparts.

P3-SAM: Native 3D Part Segmentation

Segmenting 3D assets into their constituent parts is crucial for enhancing 3D understanding, facilitating model reuse, and supporting various applications such as part generation. However, current methods face limitations such as poor robustness when dealing with complex objects and cannot fully automate the process. In this paper, we propose a native 3D point-promptable part segmentation model termed P$^3$-SAM, designed to fully automate the segmentation of any 3D objects into components. Inspired by SAM, P$^3$-SAM consists of a feature extractor, multiple segmentation heads, and an IoU predictor, enabling interactive segmentation for users. We also propose an algorithm to automatically select and merge masks predicted by our model for part instance segmentation. Our model is trained on a newly built dataset containing nearly 3.7 million models with reasonable segmentation labels. Comparisons show that our method achieves precise segmentation results and strong robustness on any complex objects, attaining state-of-the-art performance.

StableIntrinsic: Detail-preserving One-step Diffusion Model for Multi-view Material Estimation

Recovering material information from images has been extensively studied in computer graphics and vision. Recent works in material estimation leverage diffusion model showing promising results. However, these diffusion-based methods adopt a multi-step denoising strategy, which is time-consuming for each estimation. Such stochastic inference also conflicts with the deterministic material estimation task, leading to a high variance estimated results. In this paper, we introduce StableIntrinsic, a one-step diffusion model for multi-view material estimation that can produce high-quality material parameters with low variance. To address the overly-smoothing problem in one-step diffusion, StableIntrinsic applies losses in pixel space, with each loss designed based on the properties of the material. Additionally, StableIntrinsic introduces a Detail Injection Network (DIN) to eliminate the detail loss caused by VAE encoding, while further enhancing the sharpness of material prediction results. The experimental results indicate that our method surpasses the current state-of-the-art techniques by achieving a $9.9\%$ improvement in the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of albedo, and by reducing the Mean Square Error (MSE) for metallic and roughness by $44.4\%$ and $60.0\%$, respectively.

GaRe: Relightable 3D Gaussian Splatting for Outdoor Scenes from Unconstrained Photo Collections

We propose a 3D Gaussian splatting-based framework for outdoor relighting that leverages intrinsic image decomposition to precisely integrate sunlight, sky radiance, and indirect lighting from unconstrained photo collections. Unlike prior methods that compress the per-image global illumination into a single latent vector, our approach enables simultaneously diverse shading manipulation and the generation of dynamic shadow effects. This is achieved through three key innovations: (1) a residual-based sun visibility extraction method to accurately separate direct sunlight effects, (2) a region-based supervision framework with a structural consistency loss for physically interpretable and coherent illumination decomposition, and (3) a ray-tracing-based technique for realistic shadow simulation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework synthesizes novel views with competitive fidelity against state-of-the-art relighting solutions and produces more natural and multifaceted illumination and shadow effects.

Test-Time-Matching: Decouple Personality, Memory, and Linguistic Style in LLM-based Role-Playing Language Agent

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has enabled role-playing language agents to demonstrate significant potential in various applications. However, relying solely on prompts and contextual inputs often proves insufficient for achieving deep immersion in specific roles, particularly well-known fictional or public figures. On the other hand, fine-tuning-based approaches face limitations due to the challenges associated with data collection and the computational resources required for training, thereby restricting their broader applicability. To address these issues, we propose Test-Time-Matching (TTM), a training-free role-playing framework through test-time scaling and context engineering. TTM uses LLM agents to automatically decouple a character's features into personality, memory, and linguistic style. Our framework involves a structured, three-stage generation pipeline that utilizes these features for controlled role-playing. It achieves high-fidelity role-playing performance, also enables seamless combinations across diverse linguistic styles and even variations in personality and memory. We evaluate our framework through human assessment, and the results demonstrate that our method achieves the outstanding performance in generating expressive and stylistically consistent character dialogues.

SGCR: Spherical Gaussians for Efficient 3D Curve Reconstruction

Neural rendering techniques have made substantial progress in generating photo-realistic 3D scenes. The latest 3D Gaussian Splatting technique has achieved high quality novel view synthesis as well as fast rendering speed. However, 3D Gaussians lack proficiency in defining accurate 3D geometric structures despite their explicit primitive representations. This is due to the fact that Gaussian's attributes are primarily tailored and fine-tuned for rendering diverse 2D images by their anisotropic nature. To pave the way for efficient 3D reconstruction, we present Spherical Gaussians, a simple and effective representation for 3D geometric boundaries, from which we can directly reconstruct 3D feature curves from a set of calibrated multi-view images. Spherical Gaussians is optimized from grid initialization with a view-based rendering loss, where a 2D edge map is rendered at a specific view and then compared to the ground-truth edge map extracted from the corresponding image, without the need for any 3D guidance or supervision. Given Spherical Gaussians serve as intermedia for the robust edge representation, we further introduce a novel optimization-based algorithm called SGCR to directly extract accurate parametric curves from aligned Spherical Gaussians. We demonstrate that SGCR outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in 3D edge reconstruction while enjoying great efficiency.

Bernstein Bounds for Caustics

Systematically simulating specular light transport requires an exhaustive search for primitive tuples containing admissible paths. Given the extreme inefficiency of enumerating all combinations, we propose to significantly reduce the search domain by sampling such tuples. The challenge is to design proper sampling probabilities that keep the noise level controllable. Our key insight is that by bounding the range of irradiance contributed by each primitive tuple at a given position, we can sample a subset of primitive tuples with potentially high contributions. Although low-contribution tuples are assigned a negligible probability, the overall variance remains low. Therefore, we derive vertex position and irradiance bounds for each primitive tuple, introducing a bounding property of rational functions on the Bernstein basis. When formulating position and irradiance expressions into rational functions, we handle non-rational components through remainder variables to maintain validity. Finally, we carefully design the sampling probabilities by optimizing the upper bound of the variance, expressed only using the position and irradiance bound. The proposed primitive sampling is intrinsically unbiased. It can be seamlessly combined with various unbiased and biased root-finding techniques within a local primitive domain. Extensive evaluations show that our method enables fast and reliable rendering of complex caustic effects.

TransparentGS: Fast Inverse Rendering of Transparent Objects with Gaussians

The emergence of neural and Gaussian-based radiance field methods has led to considerable advancements in novel view synthesis and 3D object reconstruction. Nonetheless, specular reflection and refraction continue to pose significant challenges due to the instability and incorrect overfitting of radiance fields to high-frequency light variations. Currently, even 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS), as a powerful and efficient tool, falls short in recovering transparent objects with nearby contents due to the existence of apparent secondary ray effects. To address this issue, we propose TransparentGS, a fast inverse rendering pipeline for transparent objects based on 3D-GS. The main contributions are three-fold. Firstly, an efficient representation of transparent objects, transparent Gaussian primitives, is designed to enable specular refraction through a deferred refraction strategy. Secondly, we leverage Gaussian light field probes (GaussProbe) to encode both ambient light and nearby contents in a unified framework. Thirdly, a depth-based iterative probes query (IterQuery) algorithm is proposed to reduce the parallax errors in our probe-based framework. Experiments demonstrate the speed and accuracy of our approach in recovering transparent objects from complex environments, as well as several applications in computer graphics and vision.
