Plain-Language Brief

The researchers introduce OrbitForge, a method that converts single text-generated videos into 3D scenes using frozen video priors and per-prompt Gaussian Splatting reconstruction optimization. The method uses 3D reconstruction as an anchor to improve the consistency of the generated video by addressing issues such as camera motion control, partial view coverage, and frame inconsistencies. OrbitForge requires no specific video or multiview fine-tuning and outperforms MedianGS-only reconstruction in terms of ImageReward.

What the Document Says

  • OrbitForge is an adapter for text-to-video models that converts single text-generated videos into 3D scenes using frozen video priors and per-prompt Gaussian Splatting optimization.
  • The method uses a preliminary 3D reconstruction from a first generated video via Deformable Gaussian Splatting with a robust MedianGS proxy.
  • OrbitForge renders views from a prescribed orbit to detect missing viewpoints and completes only the missing views.
  • It reconstructs the completed orbit into a final Gaussian Splatting scene.
  • The method does not require task-specific video or multiview fine-tuning, avoids per-prompt score-distillation optimization, and does not progressively generate views one step at a time.
  • On a frozen 300-prompt T3Bench-derived audit, OrbitForge reconstruction attains a 359.0-degree measured median span.
  • OrbitForge raises originally unsupported-bin Q10 ImageReward from 8.07 to 16.36 relative to MedianGS-only reconstruction.

Raw Abstract / Excerpt

Generic text-to-video models can be used as rich open-world scene priors. Despite the high quality of today's generated videos, they do not directly yield reliable 3D assets: camera motion is difficult to control, view coverage is partial, and frames often contain inconsistencies across time. We introduce OrbitForge, an adapter built from frozen video priors and per-prompt Gaussian Splatting reconstruction optimization that converts a single text-generated video into a canonical closed-orbit 3D Gaussian Splatting scene. We use 3D reconstruction as an anchor to improve the 3D consistency of the generated video. We obtain a preliminary 3D reconstruction from a first generated video via Deformable Gaussian Splatting with a robust MedianGS proxy. We render views from a prescribed orbit to detect missing viewpoints. OrbitForge uses the text-to-video model to complete only the missing views, and reconstructs the completed orbit into a final Gaussian Splatting scene. This design requires no task-specific video or multiview fine-tuning, avoids per-prompt score-distillation optimization, and does not progressively generate views one step at a time. We further argue that this setting demands coverage-aware evaluation: local smoothness alone rewards methods that never attempt a full orbit. On a frozen 300-prompt T3Bench-derived audit, OrbitForge reconstruction attains a 359.0-degree measured median span, raises originally unsupported-bin Q10 ImageReward from 8.07 to 16.36 relative to MedianGS-only reconstruction, while remaining competitive with VideoMV on the coverage-quality.
