Know3D Lets Users Control the Hidden Back Side of 3D Objects with Text Prompts
Researchers from several Chinese universities introduced Know3D, a system that lets users shape the hidden backside of a 3D object using natural‑language prompts. The approach bridges a large language model, an image‑generation model, and Microsoft’s Trellis.2 3D generator, extracting intermediate visual states to guide geometry. By tapping multimodal knowledge, Know3D outperforms existing single‑image methods on the HY3D‑Bench benchmark for both semantic alignment and geometric quality. The technique demonstrates that text‑driven control can produce physically plausible rear views without additional images.
