ROAD is a 3D shape generation model that transfers discriminative 3D semantics into the generative process through global feature alignment and token-level matching. It is built on the Step1X-3D rectified-flow framework and uses a frozen Uni3D teacher during alignment training.

Task

ROAD is designed for conditional 3D shape generation from visual inputs. Because this task does not currently map cleanly to a dedicated Hugging Face pipeline, the repository uses the supported other pipeline tag.

Input and Output

Input

One or more reference images representing an object
Optional model and sampling configuration

Output

A generated 3D object representation
The resulting geometry can be exported or processed as a 3D mesh, such as a GLB asset

Repository Contents

This repository contains model files and related resources for ROAD. The accompanying source repository provides:

ROAD and baseline training configurations
Step1X-3D-based training code
Uni3D global feature alignment
Token-level Hungarian matching
Uni3D-I and ULIP-I evaluation tools
Data preparation and training scripts

Model files in this repository should be used with the implementation and setup instructions provided in the GitHub project.

Usage

Download this repository with the Hugging Face CLI:

huggingface-cli download H-EmbodVis/ROAD --local-dir pretrained/road

Alternatively, clone it with Git LFS:

bash

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/H-EmbodVis/ROAD

Place the downloaded files in the location expected by the ROAD configuration, then follow the training or inference instructions in the source repository.
