TAPESTRY: From Geometry to Appearance via Consistent Turntable Videos
This work addresses the challenge of automatically generating realistic and view-consistent appearances for untextured 3D models—a critical task in digital content creation. The authors propose a geometry-conditioned video diffusion approach that leverages multimodal geometric feature encoding to constrain the generation of 360-degree turntable videos. A novel 3D-aware inpainting mechanism is introduced to reconstruct self-occluded regions, ensuring complete surface coverage. By explicitly integrating geometric priors into the video diffusion framework, the method produces high-quality, temporally coherent dynamic previews suitable for direct use in UV texture back-projection or as supervision for neural rendering pipelines. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements over existing techniques in both view consistency and 3D reconstruction fidelity, enabling fully automated production of ready-to-use 3D assets.
