Luce: New 3D Representation for High-Fidelity Asset Generation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced Luce, a novel 3D representation designed for high-fidelity image-to-3D asset generation. Luce unifies geometry and physically based rendering (PBR) materials within a voxelized multimodal Gaussian cloud, enabling assets to be relit and integrated into standard rendering pipelines. The system utilizes a variational autoencoder for compression and a Rectified Flow transformer for generation from single images, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on the Toys4K dataset and improving CLIP image-alignment scores on AI-generated images. AI

IMPACT Enhances 3D asset creation pipelines by enabling relightable and materially faithful assets from single images.

    Luce: Relightable Gaussians for 3D Asset Generation

    arXiv:2608.23943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-fidelity image-to-3D generation requires a 3D representation that captures both geometry and appearance. To support relighting and integration into standard rendering pipelines, the representation should include physically ba…
