PhysForge: Generating Physics-Grounded 3D Assets for Interactive Virtual World
PhysForge proposes a two-stage framework with a VLM "physical architect" and physics-grounded diffusion model, supported by PhysDB, a 150K-asset dataset with four-tier physical annotations for interactive 3D asset generation.
Excerpt
Yunhan Yang, Chunshi Wang, Junliang Ye, Yang Li, Zanxin Chen — Synthesizing physics-grounded 3D assets is a critical bottleneck for interactive virtual worlds and embodied AI. Existing methods predominantly focus on static geometry, overlooking the functional properties essential for interaction. We propose that interactive asset generation must be rooted in functional logic and hierarchical physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce PhysForge, a decoupled two-stage framework supported by PhysDB, a large-scale dataset of 150,000 assets with four-tier physical annotations. First, a VLM acts as a "physical architect" to plan a "Hierarchical Physical Blueprint" defining material, functional, and kinematic constraints. Second, a physics-grounded diffusion model realizes this blueprint by synthesizing high-fidelity geometry alongside precise kinematic parameters via a novel KineVoxel Injection (KVI) mechanism. Experiments demonstrate that PhysForge produces functionally plausible, simulation-ready assets, providing a robust data engine for interactive 3D content and embodied agents.
