Any3DAvatar: Fast and High-Quality Full-Head 3D Avatar Reconstruction from Single Portrait Image

Reconstructing a complete 3D head from a single portrait remains challenging because existing methods still face a sharp quality-speed trade-off: high-fidelity pipelines often rely on multi-stage processing and per-subject optimization, while fast feed-forward models struggle with complete geometry and fine appearance details. To bridge this gap, we propose Any3DAvatar, a fast and high-quality method for single-image 3D Gaussian head avatar generation, whose fastest setting reconstructs a full head in under one second while preserving high-fidelity geometry and texture. First, we build AnyHead, a unified data suite that combines identity diversity, dense multi-view supervision, and realistic accessories, filling the main gaps of existing head data in coverage, full-head geometry, and complex appearance. Second, rather than sampling unstructured noise, we initialize from a Plücker-aware structured 3D Gaussian scaffold and perform one-step conditional denoising, formulating full-head reconstruction into a single forward pass while retaining high fidelity. Third, we introduce auxiliary view-conditioned appearance supervision on the same latent tokens alongside 3D Gaussian reconstruction, improving novel-view texture details at zero extra inference cost. Experiments show that Any3DAvatar outperforms prior single-image full-head reconstruction methods in rendering fidelity while remaining substantially faster.

Towards Source-Aware Object Swapping with Initial Noise Perturbation

Object swapping aims to replace a source object in a scene with a reference object while preserving object fidelity, scene fidelity, and object-scene harmony. Existing methods either require per-object finetuning and slow inference or rely on extra paired data that mostly depict the same object across contexts, forcing models to rely on background cues rather than learning cross-object alignment. We propose SourceSwap, a self-supervised and source-aware framework that learns cross-object alignment. Our key insight is to synthesize high-quality pseudo pairs from any image via a frequency-separated perturbation in the initial-noise space, which alters appearance while preserving pose, coarse shape, and scene layout, requiring no videos, multi-view data, or additional images. We then train a dual U-Net with full-source conditioning and a noise-free reference encoder, enabling direct inter-object alignment, zero-shot inference without per-object finetuning, and lightweight iterative refinement. We further introduce SourceBench, a high-quality benchmark with higher resolution, more categories, and richer interactions. Experiments demonstrate that SourceSwap achieves superior fidelity, stronger scene preservation, and more natural harmony, and it transfers well to edits such as subject-driven refinement and face swapping.
