Edit4D: Editable 4D Scene Generation with Textual Control

We introduce Edit4D, an editable text-to-4D scene generation framework that constructs 4D scenes from separate background and dynamic character representations.

Key points

  • Recent advances in generative models have enabled text-driven dynamic scene synthesis, but editable 4D scene generation remains challenging due to the need to preserve spatial geometry and temporal dynamics.
  • Using these prompts, we synthesize multi-view scene images with text-to-image and camera-conditioned generative priors and reconstruct a background 3D Gaussian splatting representation.
  • We then generate a character image, animate it with an image-conditioned video prior, reconstruct a 4D mesh, and bind Gaussian primitives to obtain a character representation.
  • By integrating stage-specific components, Edit4D enables controllable camera motion, flexible object-level editing, and the practical construction of editable 4D scenes.
