Excited to present DiffCAD coming to #SIGGRAPH2024! Daoyi Gao introduces the first probabilistic single-view CAD retrieval & alignment. We train only on synthetic -> generalize robustly to real images! Check out the code: daoyig.github.io/DiffCAD_/ w/David Rozenberszki, Stefan Leutenegger

#GCPR'24 and #VMV'24 will be held in Munich from September 10-13th! We have a fantastic set of keynote speakers and invited PI talks - check it out! gcpr-vmv.de/year/2024 Also the registration is open: early bird until **August 12th** - join us for an amazing event :)

📢MeshPad: Interactive Sketch-Conditioned Artist-Designed Mesh Generation and Editing📢 Users can interactively design 3D models just from a sketch-based interface - check out the demo :) We break down the design process into addition with an autoregressive generator and

📢Animating the Uncaptured 📢 We animate 3D humanoid meshes using video diffusion priors given a text prompt. 🎥youtu.be/_YL1J_V3smI 🌍marcb.pro/atu Realistic motion generation for 3D characters - without motion capture! 🚀 Great work by Marc Benedí Angela Dai

📢📢𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐀𝐈𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐈 📢📢 We’re building Spatial Foundation Models — a new paradigm of generative AI that reasons about space and time! Really stoked about our world-class team – it’s gonna be mind-boggling!

Seven papers accepted at #ICCV2025! Exciting topics: lots of generative AI using transformers, diffusion, 3DGS, etc. focusing on image synthesis, geometry generation, avatars, and much more - check it out! So proud of everyone involved - let's go🚀🚀🚀 niessnerlab.org/publications.h…

Check out our #ICCV2025 work on functional 3d scan editing, learning to optimize, multi-level 3d captioning, interactive mesh editing, audio-driven avatars, & shape matching! Congrats Mohamed El Amine Boudjoghra, Yueh-Cheng Liu, Chandan Yeshwanth, Haoxuan Li, Shivangi, Emery for amazing work!

Happy to share that GaussianSpeech has been accepted to #ICCV2025 !!!!
