Abstract

We introduce ReRef-3D, a benchmark for language-guided placement in 3D scenes. It contains 33,826 instructions across 998 CLEVR-derived scenes, spanning 16 placement families and direct, one-hop, and two-hop references. Each instruction must be resolved into a valid new placement position. Given that an instruction defines a region of acceptable placements rather than one coordinate, our evaluation inserts a prediction into the scene, recomputes relations, and tests relation satisfaction and physical validity. Each instruction also includes a verified naturalized rewrite. After fine-tuning, LLaVA-3D, 3D-LLM, and PlaceIt3D produce valid placements for 68.3%, 31.6%, and 22.4% of instructions, respectively. Across models, relation satisfaction surpasses physical validity, relations such as nearest and between are the most difficult, and phrasing has minimal effect on performance.

What Makes a 3D Scene Editable? A Factorized Benchmark of Fidelity, Locality, Consistency, and Preservation

Neural 3D scene editing is often evaluated by semantic alignment alone, although a convincing result may alter unrelated content or become inconsistent across views. We introduce EditBench3D, a representation-agnostic benchmark that treats editing as controlled information replacement. It evaluates four complementary properties: instruction fidelity, spatial locality, cross-view consistency, and preservation of non-target content. The protocol combines visibility-aware 3D target supports, paired descriptions, held-out cameras, and five edit families covering appearance, material, geometry, and object-level changes. We evaluate eight representative NeRF, 3D Gaussian Splatting, hybrid, and proxy-based editors on 240 scene-edit pairs. The study shows that semantic fidelity is only weakly associated with the other editing properties, and that no single method is optimal across all dimensions. Explicit Gaussian editors offer a strong overall balance, whereas direct proxy manipulation provides the most conservative edits at the cost of open-ended fidelity. These findings support reporting editability as a multi-objective profile rather than a single semantic score.

OmniMech: All-in-one Multimodal Mechanical Benchmark for 3D Reconstruction

OmniMech is introduced, the first million-scale benchmark for evaluating VLMs on executable CAD generation from industrial manufacturing data, and experiments show that current VLMs and CAD-specialized models still struggle with executable program synthesis, fine-grained 3D reconstruction, and reliable enforcement of dimensions and tolerances.

SceneBench: A Hierarchical Benchmark for Vision-Language Understanding of 3D Scenes

Vision-language models excel at 2D image understanding but remain limited in 3D spatial reasoning. Progress is hindered by limitations in current benchmarks. First, 3D datasets often rely on point clouds that capture geometry but discard rich visual features like texture, text, and materials. Second, annotations treat objects in isolation while ignoring real-world hierarchical organization (scenes, rooms, functional areas, object groups). Third, evaluation tasks focus narrowly on basic recognition rather than multi-step spatial reasoning. In this context, we introduce SceneBench, a benchmark of 966 photorealistic 3D scenes reconstructed with Gaussian Splatting and densely annotated with hierarchical semantics spanning scenes, rooms, functional areas, object groups, and individual objects. These annotations are produced through a human-in-the-loop pipeline combining vision-language models with roughly 1,500 human-hours of iterative refinement and verification, producing over 183K annotated nodes with textual descriptions and 3D bounding boxes. Building on this representation, we define three evaluation tasks: Existence-Based Questions probing object attributes, Spatial Intelligence Questions covering counting, size comparison, distance, and directional relations, and Grounded Question-Reasoning-Answer (QRA) triplets requiring multi-step reasoning across semantic levels. Experiments with state-of-the-art vision-language models show that while models perform well on basic recognition tasks (e.g., up to 85% accuracy for detection), performance drops substantially on hierarchical and compositional reasoning (e.g., down to 60% for counting), revealing limitations not captured by existing benchmarks. SceneBench provides a realistic testbed for developing and evaluating models capable of fine-grained spatial reasoning in photorealistic 3D environments.

Semantic 3D Gaussian Splatting: A State-of-the-Art Review

A unified multi-axis taxonomy is introduced that enables us to classify the available methods in 3D Gaussian splatting methods in terms of five complementary categories: semantic vocabulary space, representation form, functional role, knowledge source, and query mechanism.

Engine-Native Editable 3D World Reconstruction with Objects and Lighting

Editable 3D scene creation requires object instances and lights that can be inspected, moved, and imported into standard engines, yet existing single-image methods largely stop at room-scale geometry, baked/global illumination, or text-driven generation. We introduce Lumera (Light-aware Unified Engine-native Reconstruction and Assembly), a benchmark and reference pipeline for engine-native, light-aware 3D scene parsing from a single image. Lumera-2K is built from 2,513 UE5 projects and provides 3.73M components, 63M object instances, 102.6K engine-native parametric lights, and 95.1K camera views. On this data, Lumera-Box and Lumera-Light adapt VLM to parse object boxes and parametric light tuples (x,y,z,r,g,b,I), which are assembled with per-object mesh reconstruction, HDR environment estimation, and a bounded agentic refinement loop. In a sanitized box benchmark against DetAny3D, SpatialLM, N3D-VLM, and WildDet3D, Lumera-Box obtains the strongest overall detection, geometry, semantic, and layout scores (merged mAP 0.1141, IoU-B 0.2472, F-score 0.2762), while WildDet3D remains stronger on anchor recall. For lights, Lumera-Light recovers almost all non-empty scenes (recall 0.998) but remains limited at individual-light localization (F1 0.209 at 0.5 m); matched lights have median position error 0.261 m, median {\Delta}E2000 4.59, and intensity Pearson r=0.628. These results establish parametric lights as a measurable editable-scene target and expose remaining bottlenecks in relation structure, light recall/intensity, and cross-engine generalization.

Global Graph-Validated Optimization for VLM-based 3D Indoor Scene Generation

This work presents a graph-based intermediate representation that separates semantic coherence from physical feasibility, together with a hybrid search-and-refinement strategy that moves layout generation beyond local relational modeling and initialization-sensitive optimization toward globally consistent reasoning and search.
