AnyStyle: A Single LoRA is Sufficient for Image-Guided Style Transfer
2026-07-06 05:06:38Yongwen Lai, Chaoqun WangAbstract
Image-guided style transfer aims to apply the artistic characteristics of a style image to a content image while preserving its semantic structure and layout. Despite advances in diffusion-based methods, existing approaches often face challenges in disentangling content and style, particularly when independently optimized adapters are naively combined, causing conflicts between adapters and limiting controllability over the content-style balance in inference. We further demonstrate that training-free structural guidance directly derived from the content image through the internal attention of pre-trained model outperforms a dedicated content LoRA adapter in terms of structural fidelity and computational efficiency. Building on these observations, we propose AnyStyle, a streamlined framework for image-guided style transfer. The framework adopts a unified single-adapter paradigm for coherent style capture from the style image and incorporates training-free structural guidance from the content image, thus avoiding complex entanglement between multiple adapters and improving controllability and stability. Extensive experiments show that our method delivers competitive quantitative performance and significantly improved perceptual quality. Code is available at this https URL.

DICT: Data Injection and Contrastive Trajectory Refinement for Conditional Image Generation with Diffusion Models
2026-07-04 14:44:06Chunnan Shang, Xin Zhang, Zhizhong Wang, Hongwei WangAbstract
Diffusion models have become a dominant paradigm for conditional image generation, yet existing approaches generally follow two directions: task-specific designs that can improve performance but limit generalization, and training-free loss guidance that compresses rich conditions into scalar objectives and applies stepwise guidance, leading to information bottlenecks and error accumulation along the sampling trajectory. Given the urgent need for an effective unified framework across diverse conditional image generation tasks, we propose Data Injection and Contrastive Trajectory Refinement (DICT), a training-free inference method that enhances conditional image generation without introducing task-dependent architectures. DICT introduces Data Injection, where noise-perturbed conditional signals are integrated into early denoising stages; by performing guided denoising on these injected signals, DICT adaptively selects and distills task-salient information from the raw condition, effectively preserving spatial richness and ensuring precise condition-to-generation alignment. Furthermore, DICT applies Contrastive Trajectory Refinement across adjacent denoising states, enabling pairwise comparisons that progressively improve sample quality. These designs keep inference simple while improving cross-task transfer under a unified diffusion formulation. Extensive experiments on conditional image generation tasks (e.g., style transfer, image super-resolution, and image deblurring) show consistent gains in fidelity and perceptual quality over representative task-specific and loss-guided baselines.

Not All Prediction Targets Keep Training-Free Diffusion Guidance on the Manifold
2026-07-01 09:01:13Yunsung Lee, Hyeongmin LeeAbstract
Training-free guidance (TFG) steers a pretrained diffusion model toward a desired attribute at inference. To be effective, this guidance must be applied from the earliest, high-noise steps of sampling. Because its objective (a classifier or energy) is defined on clean images, $\epsilon$- and $v$-prediction models must first estimate the clean image $\hat{x}$ from the noisy state at each step, and the accuracy of that estimate determines how easily guidance drifts off the data manifold. $x$-prediction, a recent alternative, outputs the clean image directly, removing this source of error even at high noise. This is our motivation. We provide a theoretical analysis of how each prediction target shapes this accuracy, and introduce guided-class FID (Child FID), a metric that exposes the manifold damage standard evaluation misses. Experiments on a new fine-grained bird benchmark and on style transfer confirm that $x$-prediction keeps guided samples on the manifold most reliably, making it the strongest foundation for training-free guidance.

Illuminating Unified Multimodal Model for Free-form Interleaved Text-Image Generation
2026-06-29 09:45:15Chonghuinan Wang, Zhikai Chen, Chunwei Wang, Yecong Wan, Junwei Yang, Zhixin Wang, Wei Zhang, Jiaqi Xu, Renjing Pei, Xiaohe Wu, Fan Li, Wangmeng ZuoAbstract
The advancement of generative AI models capable of producing text and image marks a critical step forward in the realm of multimodal intelligence, particularly for tasks involving the interleaving of both modalities. To advance this intelligence to the next stage, it is crucial for models to autonomously generate free-form interleaved text-image sequences. In this paper, we introduce ILLUME-X, an advanced unified multimodal paradigm that enables high-quality, free-form interleaved text-image generation by improving multimodal data efficiency and stabilizing the multimodal training process. ILLUME-X comprises three key components: (i) an expanded training data pipeline optimized for interleaved text-image generation, (ii) a progressive training strategy with self-adaptive objectives for free-length multimodal token sequences, and (iii) an objective and comprehensive evaluation method ILScore for interleaved text-image sequences. Notably, our ILLUME-X outperforms previous unified models across multiple interleaved text-image generation tasks like style transfer, image decomposition and storytelling.

ASTAD: Asymmetric Style Transfer for Synthetic-to-Real Adaptation in Autonomous Driving
2026-06-28 09:15:15Dingyi Yao, Xinqi Zhang, Lihui Peng, Jianming Hu, Danya Yao, Yi ZhangAbstract
Synthetic data mitigates the data scarcity problem in autonomous driving perception. However, the synthetic-to-real gap leads to performance degradation, hindering real-world model generalization. Although current methods leverage diffusion models for photorealistic style transfer to bridge this gap, they critically ignore a practical asymmetry: while synthetic data possesses perfect pixel-level annotations, real-world style reference images generally lack corresponding labels. Consequently, existing methods relying on symmetric semantic guidance suffer from either prohibitive annotation costs or severe semantic misalignment. To address this dilemma, we formally propose a novel task: Asymmetric Style Transfer for Autonomous Driving (ASTAD), which requires semantically consistent transfer using only labeled synthetic content and unlabeled real-world references. We further introduce the ASTModel, a training-free two-stage framework designed to bridge this domain gap under asymmetric constraints. ASTModel first extracts a coarse semantic prior from the unlabeled target, followed by dynamic prior refinement and class-consistent style injection during the denoising process. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ASTModel significantly outperforms existing methods in downstream perception utility and structural fidelity, while offering a 3.2$\times$ inference speedup. This work aligns synthetic-to-real adaptation with practical constraints, holding the potential to accelerate the scalable deployment of robust autonomous driving systems. Code: this https URL.

H-Adapter: Pose-Robust Hairstyle Transfer via Attention-Derived, Source-Aligned Hair Masks
2026-06-24 08:52:06Seulgi Jeong, Yunseong Cho, Sanghun ParkAbstract
Hairstyle transfer has practical applications such as virtual try-on, yet remains challenging when the source and reference exhibit large head-pose discrepancies. We propose H-Adapter, which improves pose robustness by training with a region-specific loss that disentangles hair and non-hair objectives and thereby induces spatially disentangled cross-attention, from which a source-aligned hair edit mask is derived to guide diffusion-based inpainting. Experiments on pose-agnostic and pose-different subsets demonstrate strong quantitative results, including the best FID, $\mathrm{FID}_{\mathrm{CLIP}}$, and CLIP-I under pose differences, while maintaining competitive non-hair preservation and improving qualitative fidelity to fine-grained reference hairstyle details. Beyond source-conditioned transfer, H-Adapter supports practical extensions including text-to-image generation, auxiliary prompt-based hair color control, and compatibility with an identity-preserving IP-Adapter variant. We also introduce a VLM-as-a-judge protocol and observe consistent gains in hairstyle faithfulness, non-hair preservation, and artifact quality.

Geometry-Aware Style Transfer in 3D Gaussian Splatting
2026-06-23 04:53:56Min Hyeok Bang, Jun Hyeong Kim, Seung-Wook Kim, Se-Ho LeeAbstract
In this paper, we present a novel geometry-aware style transfer framework for 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) that simultaneously transfers appearance attributes and geometric structures. Unlike prior works that primarily focus on color-based stylization and often overlook structural adaptation, our method explicitly incorporates geometry adaptation through a decoupled optimization scheme that alternately updates color and geometry parameters. This strategy alleviates potential interference between color and geometry updates, leading to stable and consistent scene-level geometry transformation. The decoupled optimization is enabled by the proposed geometry-aware contrastive feature matching (GCFM). GCFM integrates RGB, depth, and edge cues into a contrastive objective and is employed in both optimization phases to effectively transfer structural characteristics from style images to Gaussian primitives. Extensive experiments show that our approach achieves superior performance in both qualitative fidelity and quantitative metrics, significantly outperforming existing 3DGS-based stylization methods.

Human-in-the-Loop Atlas-Based 3D Asset Segmentation for Interactive Content Workflows
2026-06-16 11:51:58Paul Julius K\"uhn, Saptarshi Neil Sinha, Jakob Hansen, Robin HorstAbstract
Segmenting 3D assets into meaningful regions remains challenging, especially when segmentation criteria are application-dependent and require user control. We present a human-in-the-loop pipeline for generating a segmented 2D parameterized atlas from a 3D model for interactive media, game, and XR content workflows. Our method first selects a compact set of rendered views using a greedy set cover strategy over sampled surface points, and then supports interactive segmentation of these views with SAM~2 and Label Studio. The resulting masks are back-projected onto the model's UV parameterization to produce a unified segmented atlas that supports downstream production tasks such as segment-wise material assignment, style transfer, and semantic labeling. We assess the pipeline through a demonstration-based technical evaluation on eight cultural heritage objects. The results show that the approach can generate usable segmented atlases across diverse geometries while revealing recurring sources of manual correction, particularly fine structures, cavities, and weak appearance boundaries.

ControlMap: Controllable High-Definition Map Generation for Traffic Scenario Simulation
2026-06-14 17:12:56Marwan Farag, Steffen W\"aldele, Yu YaoAbstract
Simulation is central to validating autonomous driving systems, yet current pipelines are limited by insufficient scenario diversity due to costly High Definition (HD) map creation. Scaling HD maps requires expensive data collection and manual processing. Moreover, existing generative models lack the fine-grained control necessary to target specific road topologies during generation. This paper presents a data-driven pipeline for controllable HD map generation using latent diffusion and ControlNet for spatial conditioning. To our knowledge, we are the first to inject spatial guidance signals into a diffusion model for HD map synthesis. Furthermore, our model supports adjustable conditioning strength through classifier-free guidance and city-level style transfer via city label conditioning. To complement existing metrics, we introduce two novel metrics to evaluate adherence to the control signal and similarity to ground-truth maps. Experiments demonstrate that our model generates realistic HD maps that faithfully follow input road topologies while accurately preserving city-specific details.

Non-Parametric Machine Text Detection via Multi-View Gaussian Processes
2026-06-12 03:11:25Aleem Khan, Nicholas AndrewsAbstract
Adversarial conditions such as paraphrasing and targeted style transfer sharply degrade the accuracy of machine text detectors. A document, however, carries multiple complementary signals (e.g., stylistic features, likelihood and rank-order features, and structural features), and an attack that suppresses one may leave others intact. While a parametric classifier can learn to combine these features given sufficient supervision, classifiers are prone to making confidently incorrect predictions when the distribution shifts (e.g., novel attacks or unseen language models). To address this, we propose a multi-view, non-parametric detection framework that extracts complementary feature views from the same document and aggregates per-view evidence through a Gaussian process ensemble. By aggregating evidence across views, an adversary must simultaneously defeat multiple independent axes of detection, substantially raising the cost of evasion. The Gaussian process formulation additionally provides calibrated probabilities and principled abstention on out-of-distribution inputs, supporting reliable deployment in high-stakes settings. We evaluate on three benchmarks spanning diverse generators and attacks: the DetectRL and RAID benchmarks, and the PAN2025 shared task and demonstrate that our multi-view detector maintains strong performance under the considered attacks, outperforming existing approaches against held out attacks.

Avatar V: Scaling Video-Reference Avatar Video Generation
2026-06-11 19:55:39Benjamin Liang, Ce Chen, Desmond Lin, Ivan Somov, Jiajun Zhao, Jiewei Yuan, Jingfeng Zhang, Junhao Huang, Nik Nolte, Pedram Haqiqi, Penghan Wang, Rong Yan, Rui Zhang, Sam Prokopchuk, Sivan Wang, Viktor Goriachko, Yi Ren, Yuanming Li, Yutao Chen, Zhenhui Ye, Zhibin Hong, Zilong Nie, Zujin GuoAbstract
Generating avatar videos that are not merely visually similar to a target individual but behaviorally recognizable, faithfully reproducing their talking rhythm, gestural tendencies, and expression dynamics, remains an open challenge. Existing methods predominantly condition on single static images, which provide insufficient identity information and cannot capture dynamic motion traits, while standard pixel-level objectives underserve the perceptually critical facial regions that determine avatar fidelity. We present Avatar V, a production-scale framework that addresses these limitations through video-reference-conditioned identity modeling. Rather than compressing identity into fixed-size embeddings, the model conditions directly on the full token sequence of a reference video, learning to reproduce both static identity attributes (facial geometry, skin texture) and dynamic behavioral patterns (talking rhythm, micro-expressions) through attention over the reference context. We introduce Sparse Reference Attention, an asymmetric mechanism achieving linear-complexity conditioning on arbitrarily long references; a motion representation stream enabling closed-loop talking style transfer; and an identity-aware super-resolution refiner inheriting the full reference conditioning. These are supported by a data engine curating 100M+ training clips from 50M raw videos, and a five-stage training pipeline with flow matching pre-training, personality fine-tuning, two-phase distillation (>10x acceleration), and RLHF alignment, deployed across thousands of GPUs. Avatar V generates 1080p videos of unlimited duration, achieving state-of-the-art identity preservation, lip synchronization, and generation quality on our cross-scene benchmark, consistently outperforming leading systems including Seedance 2.0, Kling O3 Pro, Veo 3.1, and OmniHuman 1.5 in both automated metrics and human evaluation.

Compressing Image Style Training into a Single Model Forward
2026-06-11 18:21:26Zhongjie Duan, Yingda ChenAbstract
Diffusion-based style transfer must balance inference efficiency with stylization fidelity. Adapter-based methods are efficient, but they inject style as an external condition and can either weaken reference-specific appearance or copy reference semantics into the generated image. Optimization-based personalization methods such as LoRA internalize style more effectively, but require a separate training process for every new style. We introduce i2L (image-to-LoRA), a framework that amortizes style LoRA training into a single forward pass. Given one or more reference images, i2L predicts LoRA weights for a text-to-image model, enabling immediate style instantiation without per-style optimization. The architecture combines an image encoder, learnable LoRA queries, and compressed decoding heads that generate adapted matrices. Training on semantically diverse style pairs encourages the predictor to preserve appearance cues while suppressing reference-content copying. Experiments on Z-Image, FLUX.2, and Hidream-O1 show that i2L improves style fidelity, prompt alignment, and perceptual quality over existing baselines. Because i2L produces explicit LoRA weights, it also supports asymmetric classifier-free guidance, multi-reference style fusion, and composition with controllable-generation modules.

HairPort: In-context 3D-aware Hair Import and Transfer for Images
2026-06-10 18:13:18Alireza Heidari, Amirhossein Alimohammadi, Wallace Michel Pinto Lira, Adi Bar-Lev, Ali Mahdavi-AmiriAbstract
Transferring hairstyles between images is an important but challenging task in computer graphics, computer vision, and visual effects. It enables users to explore new looks without physically altering their hair, with applications in virtual try-on systems, augmented reality, and entertainment. Most prior works operate best under small pose gaps, and they fall short under large viewpoint and scale differences, where missing hair content must be synthesized rather than transferred. We propose HairPort, a 3D-aware hairstyle transfer framework that attempts to solve these issues by explicitly separating hair removal from transfer and enforcing geometric consistency before synthesis. We introduce a Bald Converter, which produces realistic bald versions of faces through LoRA-based in-context adaptation of FLUX.1 Kontext. To train our Bald Converter, we introduce a new dataset, Baldy, containing 6,000 paired bald and original images across diverse identities and conditions. We also use a 3D-Aware Transfer Pipeline that reconstructs and re-renders the reference hairstyle from the target viewpoint before compositing it onto the source image. Being 3D aware, our method supports large pose and scale discrepancies between the source and target. Finally, a conditional flow-matching generator synthesizes the transferred result from the bald source and geometry-aligned reference guidance. Together, our method enables accurate, pose-consistent, and identity-preserving hairstyle transfer, outperforming existing methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.

RealMath-Eval: Why SOTA Judges Struggle with Real Human Reasoning
2026-06-08 23:40:34Yiteng Mao, Kenan Xu, Yijia Lyu, Wenhao Li, Jianlong Chen, Xiangfeng WangAbstract
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved near-perfect performance in \emph{solving} high-school mathematics, their ability to \emph{evaluate} the diverse reasoning processes of real human students remains under-examined. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{RealMath-Eval}, a rigorously annotated benchmark of 224 real-world exam responses from high schools. Our initial evaluation reveals that even state-of-the-art LLM judges struggle significantly on this task, exhibiting a high Mean Squared Error ($\sim$2.96) against expert human grading. To probe a plausible explanation, we contrast this performance with a control setting where the same judges evaluate synthetic LLM-generated solutions. We identify a stark ``Evaluation Gap'': judges are considerably more accurate and consistent on synthetic text (MSE $\sim$1.17) but struggle to generalize to authentic student reasoning. Through semantic embedding analysis, we find that synthetic errors suffer from a ``structural collapse'' into predictable, low-dimensional linear subspaces, whereas human errors form a more diverse error space. Furthermore, generative probability probes suggest that human reasoning involves significantly higher information-theoretic surprisal, indicating that student reasoning transitions are more out-of-distribution for current models. Finally, we find that surface-level style transfer fails to close this gap. Our findings suggest that current LLM evaluation pipelines relying heavily on synthetic data may not adequately capture the diversity of authentic student mathematical reasoning.

CoVEBench: Can Video Editing Models Handle Complex Instructions?
2026-06-07 02:29:41Jiangtao Wu, Jiaming Wang, Yiwen He, Yuanxing Zhang, Shihao Li, Dunyuan Liu, Xuedong Zhao, Jialu Chen, Zekun Moore Wang, Jiaheng LiuAbstract
While recent text-guided video editing models excel at elementary tasks (e.g., style transfer, object insertion), real-world user requests are highly compositional. A single prompt often demands multiple coupled edits, such as modifying subjects, actions, and camera views, while strictly preserving unrelated spatiotemporal content. Existing benchmarks, heavily constrained by isolated edits and coarse global metrics, fail to diagnose how models handle such complex workflows. To address this gap, we introduce CoVEBench, a compositional video editing benchmark comprising 416 curated source videos, 626 multi-point editing instructions, and 9,990 fine-grained checklist items. Covering diverse editing dimensions, CoVEBench evaluates models via MLLM-judged instruction compliance and video fidelity, alongside automated metrics for video quality. Extensive experiments reveal that compositional editing remains a profound challenge: current models frequently omit edits, violate preservation constraints, or introduce artifacts when handling multiple operations simultaneously. CoVEBench provides a challenging, diagnostic testbed to advance video editing toward realistic user workflows.

Style-CCL: Content-Preserving Style Transfer via Curriculum Continual Learning
2026-06-04 13:02:04Shiwen Zhang, Haoyuan Wang, Xianghao Zang, Haibin Huang, Chi Zhang, Xuelong LiAbstract
Content-Preserving Style transfer, given content and style references, remains challenging for Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) due to entangled content and style features. With a reverse triplet synthesis pipeline to build a million-scale training set and a dual-branch Style-Content DiT (SC-DiT) that decouples style and content via separate ROPE embeddings and causal masking, we observe that such a one-stage training paradigm on mixed style categories causes semantic styles to dominate, hindering texture style learning, and harming content preservation. To address these issues, we propose Style-CCL, a Multi-Stage Curriculum Continual Learning framework that trains SC-DiT from semantic (easy) to texture (hard) styles, and from clean to synthetic data, with Random Memory Rehearsal across stages to avoid catastrophic forgetting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our Style-CCL achieves state-of-the-art performance in three core metrics: style similarity, content consistency, and aesthetic quality.

Bionic Human-Motion Style Transfer for Physically Executable Whole-Body Control of Humanoid Robots
2026-06-02 11:59:01Tianchen Huang, Mingkuan Zhao, Yang Gao, Feiyang Yuan, Junchi Gu, Xiaohu Zhang, Dongdong Zhao, Shi Yan, Yu Wang, Wei Gao, Shiwu ZhangAbstract
Expressive whole-body motion is important for humanoid robots operating in human environments, where robots are expected to move stably while presenting readable and adjustable body behaviors. However, most expressive motions are still obtained from fixed demonstrations or manually designed scripts, making it difficult to reuse a demonstrated style across different motion contents. Inspired by the way human motion styles convey affective and intentional cues through gait rhythm, posture, arm swing and body sway, this paper proposes a bionic generation-to-control framework for exemplar-driven style transfer on humanoid robots. Given a short human style exemplar and a target content motion, the proposed framework generates a stylized whole-body reference that preserves the intended motion content while transferring the demonstrated style. A physics-aware multi-condition latent diffusion model is developed to fuse style, content and trajectory conditions, and classifier-free guidance is used to adjust the style intensity without retraining. To improve hardware executability, contact-consistency and temporal-smoothness regularization are imposed on decoded motions during training. The generated references are then converted into G1-compatible robot references and executed by a preview-based whole-body tracking policy trained with a cluster-and-distill strategy. Simulation and Unitree G1 experiments show that the proposed method can transfer short human style exemplars to diverse robot motion contents, reduce contact and jitter artifacts compared with animation-oriented style-transfer baselines, and achieve a 96.0% success rate over 125 reported real-robot trials. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using short human motion exemplars as reusable bionic sources for physically executable expressive humanoid motion.

Hist2Style: Histogram-Guided Stylization with Bilateral Grids
2026-06-01 07:34:10Dekel Galor, Adam Pikielny, Zhoutong Zhang, Ke Wang, Laura Waller, Jiawen Chen, Ilya ChugunovAbstract
Photorealistic style transfer aims to match the color and tone of an input image to that of a style target while preserving the content and details of the original scene. Although existing large image models can facilitate these kinds of appearance edits, their high computational demands, potential for hallucinations, and limited user control make them unsuitable for high-resolution, real-time workflows. We introduce Hist2Style, a bilateral-grid formulation for fast, edge-aware stylization that preserves visual fidelity by constraining operations to locally affine transforms in bilateral space. Our model distills a large image editing model into a lightweight network by training on a large supervised corpus generated with language and vision-language models, targeting spatially varying color edits. The network conditions on a histogram-based embedding of the style target to provide an interpretable interface for adjusting the output style by modifying the target color distribution. Overall, Hist2Style maintains content structure by construction, avoids hallucinations, and supports real-time, high-resolution photorealistic stylization with interactive user-controllable color and tone adjustments.

Mitigating Content Shift and Hallucination in GenAI Image Editing via Structural Refinement
Abstract
Generative AI (GenAI) image editors, such as Nano Banana, produce visually compelling results for retouching tasks, enabling non-experts to edit images through text prompts alone. However, the generative nature of these models often introduces spatial misalignment, texture distortion, and content hallucination, all of which are detrimental to downstream workflows that require pixel-level fidelity. We identify a problem setting we call "structure-preserving GenAI fusion" for black-box GenAI image retouching: retain the perceptual enhancements of a GenAI output while enforcing structural faithfulness to the original input image. To address this problem, we propose a post-processing framework that fuses an input image with its GenAI-enhanced counterpart by first establishing coarse spatial and photometric correspondences, then performing a fusion stage that transfers desired enhancements while suppressing hallucinated content. In the absence of direct prior work in this setting, we evaluate our framework against representative methods from photorealistic style transfer and image fusion. Our experiments demonstrate that our method better preserves aesthetic quality while maintaining pixel-level structural consistency and the input resolution.

Boosting Zero-Shot 3D Style Transfer with 2D Pre-trained Priors
2026-05-28 15:14:23Xin Dong, Yunzhi Teng, Wenfeng Deng, Yansong TangAbstract
In this work, we focus on zero-shot 3D style transfer that can generate multi-view consistent stylized views of the 3D scene given an arbitrary style image. We primarily tackle the issue of data scarcity in 3D style transfer, which arises when each model is trained on only a single scene, thereby limiting the number of available content images. This scarcity significantly hampers stylization performance, as model optimization relies on a sufficient number of content-style image pairs to provide supervisory signals. Our core idea is to integrate a decoder pre-trained on large-scale 2D image datasets into the 3D style transfer pipeline, thereby leveraging the prior knowledge encoded in the decoder from learning over numerous content-style image pairs. Our method combines feature Gaussian splatting and deferred stylization, enabling high-quality stylization with the data-sufficient decoder network while ensuring view consistency by unifying view-dependent operations into a view-invariant process. Experiments demonstrate that our Data-Sufficient StyleGaussian (DS-StyleGaussian) model outperforms existing zero-shot 3D style transfer methods in terms of visual quality across various datasets. This work also suggests that 2D pre-training can serve as a strong enhancement for 3D tasks, bridging the data gap between 2D and 3D.
