This survey paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in neural 3D mesh texturing, organizing diverse methods for texture synthesis, transfer, and completion into a coherent taxonomy.

Key insights

  • Neural 3D mesh texturing has evolved from early methods relying on weak 2D supervision to leveraging powerful pre-trained 2D generative priors like vision-language models and large-scale diffusion models.
  • Differentiable rendering is a fundamental enabler, bridging 2D image-space supervision with 3D mesh properties to facilitate gradient-based texture optimization and ensure multi-view consistency.
  • There is a growing trend towards generating physically based rendering (PBR) material maps for improved realism and editability, with specialized techniques emerging for domains like 3D human texturization.
