The field of 3D generative modeling has seen a groundbreaking advancement with the introduction of a new technology called GaussianCube, which surpasses the traditional NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) and brings revolutionary changes to 3D modeling.

GaussianCube is an explicit structured 3D representation method. It achieves high-precision fitting of 3D assets through a novel density-constrained Gaussian fitting algorithm, while ensuring a fixed number of free Gaussians are used during the fitting process.

This technology utilizes an optimal transport algorithm to rearrange Gaussians into a predefined voxel grid, maintaining their spatial structural relationships. This allows researchers to directly adopt a standard 3D U-Net network as the backbone for diffusion modeling without complex network design. The compactness of GaussianCube significantly reduces the parameter requirements for 3D generative modeling, greatly decreasing the number of parameters compared to traditional methods, thus simplifying the modeling process.

Researchers have conducted extensive experiments in various aspects, including unconditional and conditional 3D object generation, digital avatar creation, and text-to-3D content synthesis. The experimental results are remarkable, with GaussianCube achieving a performance improvement of up to 74% on multiple datasets, leading the industry both in numerical metrics and visual quality.

The framework of GaussianCube includes two main stages: representation construction and 3D diffusion. During the representation construction stage, a density-constrained Gaussian fitting algorithm is used to obtain a fixed number of 3D Gaussians, which are then structured into GaussianCube using an optimal transport algorithm. In the 3D diffusion stage, a 3D diffusion model generates GaussianCube from Gaussian noise, supporting various conditional signals to control the generation process.

This technology not only generates high-quality 3D assets but also provides highly attractive visual effects, demonstrating its great potential as a universal representation for 3D generation. The introduction of GaussianCube marks a significant leap in 3D generative modeling technology, providing a powerful tool for future 3D content creation.
