CoGrad3D: Spatially-Coupled Timestep Optimization with Orthogonal Gradient Fusion for 3D Generation

Score Distillation Sampling has driven recent advances in text-to-3D generation. However, current approaches often fail to produce 3D assets that are both rich in detail and consistent across viewpoints. These limitations primarily arise from imbalanced guidance on fine-grained details and an overdependence on single-view optimization—issues exacerbated by the excessive randomness in selecting diffusion timesteps and camera configurations. Such deficiencies commonly lead to blurry textures and inter-view inconsistencies, which degrade visual realism and hinder practical deployment.

To tackle these challenges, we introduce CoGrad3D, a unified generative refinement framework that adopts a continuously adaptive optimization strategy. By dynamically modulating the optimization focus based on real-time convergence signals, CoGrad3D ensures balanced progress toward both geometric completeness and high-fidelity detail. Concretely, we propose an adaptive region sampling strategy that emphasizes under-converged viewing areas, promoting stable and uniform optimization. To facilitate the transition from coarse geometry to fine-grained reconstruction, we develop a region-aware temporal scheduling scheme that integrates global training dynamics with local convergence feedback. Furthermore, we introduce a gradient fusion mechanism that consolidates historical gradients from adjacent viewpoints, mitigating view-specific artifacts and promoting the emergence of coherent 3D structures. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoGrad3D substantially surpasses existing methods in both geometric consistency and texture fidelity, enabling the generation of high-quality, view-consistent 3D models from textual descriptions.
