LDM, developed by researchers at Zhejiang University and collaborators, introduces a feed-forward framework that generates high-fidelity, illumination-decoupled textured meshes from single images or text prompts in seconds. It produces smoother geometries and textures that enable flexible relighting and material editing for downstream 3D applications.

Key insights

  • Tensorial SDFs, combined with a decoupled color field, effectively represent both geometry and illumination-independent textures, enabling high-fidelity and reusable 3D assets.
  • An adaptive, optimizable parameter for SDF-to-density conversion enhances training stability and geometric quality for diverse objects in a generative setting.
  • A two-stage training strategy, combining initial volume rendering with subsequent differentiable mesh extraction, allows for learning global structure and refining local details.
