4DAnyone outperforms prior methods in both novel-view video quality and downstream 4DGS reconstruction, with robust in-the-wild generalization.
Abstract
We present 4DAnyone, a framework for reconstructing 4D humans from an uncalibrated monocular video by generating reconstruction-grade multiview-consistent videos and lifting them into 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS). Existing camera-controlled video diffusion models synthesize plausible novel-view videos but fail to maintain consistency when scaled to the tens of target views required for 4DGS reconstruction. We identify this failure as a bounded-attention-context problem: when target views exceed the capacity of a single DiT forward pass, they must be split into groups, exposing two coupled bottlenecks. On the reference-context side, conditioning on all previously generated views grows as $O(N)$, weakening cross-view appearance guidance. On the target-context side, disjoint groups cannot directly exchange information, causing global structural drift. 4DAnyone addresses both bottlenecks with two complementary designs: Reference Context Packing (RCP) compresses growing reference views into a fixed-length mixed-resolution context with $O(1)$ reference-context complexity, while Target Context Routing (TCR) rotates target-view groupings during denoising to share context across groups at high-noise steps and stabilize details at low-noise steps. We further build the MVGameHuman dataset using our in-house game engine and combine it with light-stage and in-the-wild video datasets for training. Experiments on DNA-Rendering and DyMVHumans show that 4DAnyone outperforms prior methods in both novel-view video quality and downstream 4DGS reconstruction, with robust in-the-wild generalization.

Direct latent-to-4D generation is introduced and instantiate it as Latent-to-4D, which bypasses RGB by aligning a video latent with the token grid of a pretrained 4D decoder and refining it through frame-wise and global spatiotemporal attention.
We address the problem of reconstructing a high-fidelity, freely navigable 3D scene from a single $360^\circ$ panorama, without per-scene optimization or multi-view capture. Existing methods either lack metric trajectory control, which hinders reliable downstream 3D reconstruction, or struggle with large disocclusions under long-range camera motion while requiring high-end multi-GPU servers.We present Genie Sim PanoWorld, a two-stage feed-forward pipeline that bridges generation and reconstruction via an explicit, trajectory-controllable panoramic video. A NavMesh-planned $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ roaming trajectory is injected into a latent video diffusion model through dense geometry-warped conditioning; long--short trajectory mixed training and a self-consistency objective based on shortcut models together yield high-fidelity video in four CFG-free denoising steps. A feed-forward panoramic reconstructor then lifts the generated video into a high-fidelity 3D Gaussian scene that supports real-time, free-viewpoint roaming and can be directly used as a simulation-ready asset for embodied AI applications. Experiments show that Genie Sim PanoWorld outperforms geometry-conditioned baselines in both panoramic video generation and downstream 3D reconstruction, while generalizing zero-shot to unseen indoor scenes.

Axolotl3D is presented, a multi-modal and occlusion-aware 3D generation model that jointly conditions on images, visibility masks, camera parameters, and a partial point cloud that synthesizes diverse conditioning regimes from large-scale 3D data, enabling robust cross-modal reasoning.
Generating high-quality 360-degree dynamic human assets from text prompts is challenging. Existing methods usually synthesize monocular or multi-view videos first and then fit a 4D representation, which is expensive and often causes incomplete geometry or view-inconsistent renderings. We present 4DHumanDiff, a diffusion framework that directly generates dynamic humans represented by 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) from text prompts. By modeling the structured 4D representation space end-to-end, 4DHumanDiff avoids video pre-generation and per-scene reconstruction, making it better suited for view-consistent and temporally coherent asset generation. The model uses a 3D U-Net backbone with temporal attention for motion-aware generation. We further construct a large-scale text-to-4DGS dataset with 60,000 high-quality pairs, and introduce 2D regularization and training-free 4D interpolation to improve rendering quality and motion smoothness. Experiments show that 4DHumanDiff generates consistent 360-degree dynamic humans within one minute, achieves better temporal and multi-view consistency, and reduces inference time by more than 10x.
We introduce Point4D, a feed-forward model for 4D reconstruction of long-range video sequences. Point4D is able to reliably infer dense per-point 3D trajectories across multi-hundred-frame videos, unlike existing 4D methods that are limited to short input windows of at most a few dozen frames. A key innovation that enables this is our flexible 3D query-based motion decoder that decouples trajectory prediction from image-plane visibility. The predicted 3D endpoints are then directly re-queried in the next chunk without re-projection or matching. Furthermore, we show that extracting and reusing a visual descriptor from an arbitrary frame where the point is visible leads to better performance than relying solely on the source patch. Overall, Point4D achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse long-video tracking benchmarks spanning over 200 frames and largely outperforms previous feed-forward 4D method.

This work revisits the role of positional encoding in video diffusion transformers and shows that it provides a useful spatial bias for geometry-aware control, and introduces a geometry-aware cross-attention mechanism that enables target video latent tokens to attend to structured context tokens derived from reference images or frames.
