Researchers have developed PhysiFormer, a novel diffusion transformer capable of simulating physically plausible 3D object motions. Unlike previous methods that operate in pixel space, PhysiFormer works directly with 3D meshes in world coordinates, eliminating the need for explicit inductive biases. Trained on over 100,000 simulated trajectories, the model demonstrates strong performance in predicting rigid and elastic mechanics, generalizing to various materials and object counts, and outperforming autoregressive baselines in accuracy and physical consistency.
