TaoTex: Boosting Texture Detail Fidelity for Native 3D Material Generation

Recent 3D generation models can produce accurate geometries while still struggling to reconstruct detailed textures. We propose a diffusion-based native 3D material generation model TaoTex, which faithfully recovers intricate textures through tailored strategies and improvements. First, we develop a data construction agent to create high-frequency textured 3D assets to bridge the data gap in public datasets. Training with these data significantly enhances the ability of TaoTex to recover challenging details such as text and patterns. Second, we design a multi-level feature fusion (MLFF) module to adaptively integrate local and global features of the conditional input, providing more complete texture cues for the diffusion model and thereby enhancing reconstruction fidelity. To alleviate VAE reconstruction errors, we adopt a latent-to-pixel space loss transition, further improving the pixel-level details and generation quality. Finally, we scale TaoTex to multi-view inputs by incorporating learnable viewpoint embeddings, achieving accurate and consistent material reconstruction across views. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing approaches in preserving texture details in both single- and multi-view settings.
