I asked my husband if there is a French equivalent of "sticks and stones will break my bones" and he gave me "the toad's drool doesn't reach the white dove" and "the train of your insults is rolling on the rails of my indifference" and now I would like both of these on a t-shirt

Editing appearance, geometry, lighting with precision is easy with a 3D scene representation. But it's so much more difficult with just an image or photograph. Enter IntrinsicEdit: Precise generative image manipulation in intrinsic space (SIGGRAPH 2025)! intrinsic-edit.github.io

IntrinsicEdit: Precise generative image manipulation in intrinsic space

We present a powerful generative editing workflow built on the RGB-X diffusion framework, enabling pixel-precise, semantic image manipulation across tasks like relighting, color adjustment, and object...

⭐ Image editing without paired data, delivering on the promise of RGB<->X! Edit in Intrinsic space, get back your image with the desired modification! The method is quite fun too, conditional token optimization and noise inversion.

Recent progress in multi-view 3D object capture is stunning! But is there a limit? In our upcoming #SIGGRAPH2025 paper "Uncertainty for SVBRDF Acquisition using Frequency Analysis," we show how to answer this question for material estimation. 1/6

The figure illustrates a pipeline for estimating uncertainty and spatially-varying material properties of a plush dinosaur toy. On the left, a rendered model shows the input: incoming lighting, the BRDF, and outgoing lighting from multi-view captures. Three plots in the center display spherical harmonics power spectra for incoming lighting, BRDF, and outgoing lighting. Right side: first, a colored uncertainty map (entropy) over the dinosaur surface is shown, computed within 0.5 milliseconds. Then, three images show estimated base color, roughness, and metallicity maps, computed in about 3 seconds.

Valentin Deschaintre @vdeschaintre.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

This was a blast to work on, understanding the signal available to estimate the uncertainty in your material recovery! And it's fast enough to inform your future capture steps in real time!

Let me repeat a few points. 1) There are in France tenured research positions that do not have conditions of citizenship (at CNRS, INSERM, INRIA etc.). The deadline for 2025 has passed at CNRS and INSERM but is February 10 for INRIA. There will (normally) be positions in 2026 too.
