Abstract
Achieving precise, object-level control in image editing remains challenging: 2D methods lack 3D awareness and often yield ambiguous or implausible results, while existing 3D-aware approaches rely on heavy optimization or incomplete monocular reconstructions. We present ObjectMorpher, a unified, interactive framework that converts ambiguous 2D edits into geometry-grounded operations. ObjectMorpher lifts target instances with an image-to-3D generator into editable 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), enabling fast, identity-preserving manipulation. Users drag control points; a graph-based non-rigid deformation with as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) constraints ensures physically sensible shape and pose changes. A composite diffusion module harmonizes lighting, color, and boundaries for seamless reintegration. Across diverse categories, ObjectMorpher delivers fine-grained, photorealistic edits with superior controllability and efficiency, outperforming 2D drag and 3D-aware baselines on KID, LPIPS, SIFID, and user preference.

WHY NOW
3D Image Editing moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 7.0/10.
our approach enables manipulation of both 6-DoF pose and non-rigid shape within 3D space.
Directly stated in the analysis section comparing to OBJECT-3DIT and Neural Assets, which are described as providing only rigid control.
partial
We choose the 3DGS output over the mesh decoder of TRELLIS for its better fidelity and editability... achieving higher realism and smoother gradients for manipulation.
Explicitly stated with reasoning about the advantages of 3DGS over mesh decoders in terms of fidelity and editability.
partial
the core Interactive Drag stage achieves a near-instantaneous latency of 10 ms,
Direct numeric claim provided in the runtime comparison section.
partial
ObjectMorpher delivers fine-grained, photorealistic edits with superior controllability and efficiency, outperforming 2D drag and 3D-aware baselines on KID, LPIPS, SIFID, and user preference.
Explicitly stated in the abstract as a key result, though specific numeric values are not provided in the given excerpts.
partial
using only Laplacian deformation... often distorts the local geometry. This is particularly evident under large rotations.
Directly stated in the ablation study section comparing deformation methods.
partial
The runtime of ObjectMorpher is primarily spent on Object Lifting (~10 s) and Diffusion Refinement (~10 s),
Direct numeric claim about runtime breakdown provided in the runtime comparison section.
partial
Image Sculpting relies on slow per-image SDS/textual inversion, limiting precision and efficiency and requiring over half an hour per image.
Direct numeric claim about competitor's limitations provided in the analysis section.
partial
We adopt an as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) deformation model to preserve local shape rigidity while allowing intuitive, non-rigid manipulation.
Directly stated in the technical description of the deformation method.
