PhysForge: Material-Controllable 3D Reconstruction with Separable Components

Therefore, we present PhysForge, a Video Diffusion Model (VDM)-based framework for addressing these challenges, comprising two complementary modules for material-controllable physical fitting and componentlevel interaction modeling.

Key points

  • Recent advances in physical 3D generation have enabled visually faithful assets with simulatable mechanical behavior.
  • However, existing methods provide limited control over material behavior beyond appearance-based inference and struggle to estimate physical properties from complex interactions between objects and semantic parts.
  • The first, PhysFit, leverages material-conditioned VDM dynamics as references for physical-property fitting, introducing windowed fitting to focus on material-revealing interactions and Hallucinated Forcing to disentangle nonphysical motion hallucinated by the VDM from material responses.
  • Experiments on PhysAssets and Google Scanned Objects demonstrate that, compared with existing methods, PhysForge provides stronger control over material-dependent physical responses while supporting component-level physical modeling for complex interactions.
