🎯 Overview

Geometry Forcing (GF) Overview. (a) Our proposed GF paradigm enhances video diffusion models by aligning with geometric features from VGGT. (b) Compared to DFoT, our method generates more temporally and geometrically consistent videos. (c) While baseline features fail to reconstruct meaningful 3D geometry, GF-learned features enable accurate 3D reconstruction.

Download Checkpoints and Data

1. Download pretrained checkpiont using huggingface:

bash scripts/hf_download_checkpoints.sh

2. Download pretrained checkpiont using modelscope:
