EditFlow3D: Automated Local Editing of 3D Assets with Trajectory Preservation
EditFlow3D automates local 3D asset editing with trajectory preservation.
Key Findings
Methodology
EditFlow3D is a training-free framework for local 3D editing. It uses a VLM-driven workflow to interpret editing intent, automatically generating a visual guidance image and a refined 3D editing mask. Mask-guided differential flow focuses edits on the target region, while step-wise trajectory preservation maintains consistency in non-target areas without direct feature replacement.
Key Results
- EditFlow3D excels on EditFlow-Bench and Edit3D-Bench, achieving more accurate target-region editing and better non-target preservation.
- On EditFlow-Bench, EditFlow3D achieved a PSNR of 36.53 and SSIM of 0.904, outperforming other methods.
- Ablation studies show significant drops in performance when DFG or TPG is removed.
Significance
EditFlow3D addresses the shortcomings of existing methods in accurately localizing target regions and preserving non-target areas in 3D local editing. It achieves efficient 3D editing without training, offering significant academic and industrial value.
Technical Contribution
EditFlow3D introduces a novel approach combining mask-guided differential flow with step-wise trajectory preservation, significantly improving editing precision and non-target area preservation. It avoids direct intermediate feature replacement, preventing boundary artifacts.
Novelty
EditFlow3D is the first to achieve training-free 3D local editing using a VLM-driven workflow and differential flow guidance. It offers significant improvements in accuracy and preservation over existing methods.
Limitations

Abstract
Controllable local editing of 3D assets requires precise target localization and appropriate visual guidance. However, existing methods lack a simple yet accurate way to obtain 3D masks and struggle to achieve the desired edit while faithfully preserving the structure and appearance of non-target regions. To address these challenges, we present EditFlow3D, a training-free framework for local 3D editing. Given a source asset and an edit instruction, a VLM-driven workflow interprets the editing intent and automatically constructs a visual guidance image and a refined 3D editing mask, enabling localized editing in the native representation space of a pretrained 3D generative model. Specifically, mask-guided differential flow focuses the edit on the target region, while step-wise trajectory preservation maintains consistency between non-target regions and the source asset without directly replacing intermediate features. Since the existing Edit3D-Bench covers only a limited range of local editing categories, we further introduce EditFlow-Bench as a complementary benchmark encompassing a broader variety of structural and appearance edits, and evaluate EditFlow3D on both benchmarks. Quantitative results, qualitative comparisons, and a user study demonstrate that EditFlow3D achieves more accurate target-region editing and better preserves non-target regions than existing 3D editing methods.
