ArtiFixer: Generative 3D Scene Reconstruction from Text or Few Views
By
–
ArtiFixer doesn't just clean up 3D meshes—it is a robust generative engine. Even if you entirely drop the initial 3D rendering conditions, the model can rely on text prompts or just a few reference views to reconstruct the high-level structure of the scene and synthesize

ArtiFixer delivers sharp results, outperforming baselines by 1-3 dB PSNR
By
–
The results are incredibly sharp. When benchmarked on challenging datasets with sparse views like Mip-NeRF 360 and DL3DV, ArtiFixer handles highly degraded initial renderings effortlessly. It outperforms existing baselines (like GenFusion and 3DGUT) by a massive 1–3 dB PSNR

ArtiFixer uses DMD to make bidirectional video models 70x faster
By
–
Bidirectional video models provide great coherence but are computationally heavy. ArtiFixer solves this via Self-Forcing-style Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD). By distilling the bidirectional model into a causal auto-regressive one, ArtiFixer achieves up to a 70x

Opacity Mixing: Balancing Consistency and Hallucination in Video
By
–
How do you keep the generated video consistent with existing views without losing the ability to hallucinate new content? The answer is Opacity Mixing. Instead of starting from pure noise, ArtiFixer:
> Downscales the rendering's opacity map.
> Mixes Gaussian noise specifically -

ArtiFixer combines 3D reconstruction and video generation in two phases
By
–
Instead of treating 3D reconstruction and video generation as standalone alternatives, ArtiFixer combines their strengths. > Phase I: Trains a powerful bidirectional generative video model to transport degraded renderings into clean frames.
> Phase II: Distills the teacher model -
