Abstract

Reference Inverse Rendering Forward Rendering Figure 1 . We present DIFFUSIONRENDERER, a general-purpose method for both neural inverse and forward rendering. From input images or videos, it accurately estimates geometry and material buffers, and generates photorealistic images under specified lighting conditions, offering fundamental tools for image editing applications.
