Abstract
Recent progress has been made in 3D Gaussian representation for reconstruction, generation, and physical simulation. However, current approaches mainly concentrate on physics-based dynamic generation of solid objects and only handle single-phase collision interactions. We introduce VersaGauss, a unified framework for generation, simulation, and rendering that supports versatile physics-based dynamic generation, particularly for multiphase interactions. Our system takes a few images as input and produces a realistic, physics-driven 3D dynamic scene with multiple objects. To optimize the Gaussian kernel distribution, we develop a particle pruning algorithm. We also propose the Coupled Multiphase Point Method (CMPM) to effectively model and generate multiphase interactions. Additionally, harmonic interpolation within CMPM and a Gaussian evolution strategy are introduced to achieve realistic fluid rendering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework can simulate interactions among various materials such as fluid, rubber, sand, snow, and others.
