UniPart is a two-stage latent diffusion framework that generates controllable, semantically structured 3D shapes with parts from image prompts. It unifies geometry and part segmentation into a single "Geom-Seg VecSet" latent representation, achieving superior quantitative performance across geometry and segmentation metrics compared to existing part-level 3D generation methods.

Key insights

  • Part awareness can emerge implicitly during the learning process of whole-object geometry, suggesting that direct integration of segmentation into the latent space is feasible without requiring explicit segmenters.
  • Unifying geometry and segmentation within a single latent representation allows for inherent part reasoning and conditioning in the generative process, preserving reconstruction quality while enabling explicit part control.
  • Generating detailed part geometries in a normalized canonical space and then transforming them into global coordinates effectively mitigates fidelity loss for small or intricate parts and ensures consistent assembly.
