WorldGrow: Infinite 3D World Generation from a Single Seed Block (AAAI 2026 Oral)

tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-05

WorldGrow is a novel hierarchical generative framework capable of creating infinite open-ended 3D worlds from a single seed block via block-wise synthesis and coarse-to-fine refinement.

The system produces coherent global layouts and detailed local geometry/appearance. The generated scenes are walkable and suitable for navigation and planning evaluations. Developed collaboratively by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Huawei, and HUST, the project has been accepted as an AAAI 2026 Oral presentation and is open-sourced on GitHub.
