Abstract
Recent advances in physical 3D generation have enabled visually faithful assets with simulatable mechanical behavior. However, existing methods provide limited control over material behavior beyond appearance-based inference and struggle to estimate physical properties from complex interactions between objects and semantic parts. Therefore, we present PhysForge, a Video Diffusion Model (VDM)-based framework for addressing these challenges, comprising two complementary modules for material-controllable physical fitting and componentlevel interaction modeling. The first, PhysFit, leverages material-conditioned VDM dynamics as references for physical-property fitting, introducing windowed fitting to focus on material-revealing interactions and Hallucinated Forcing to disentangle nonphysical motion hallucinated by the VDM from material responses. The second, PhysComp decomposes complex interactions into individual objects and semantic components, enabling their physical parameters to be optimized independently and flexibly composed for joint simulation. Experiments on PhysAssets and Google Scanned Objects demonstrate that, compared with existing methods, PhysForge provides stronger control over material-dependent physical responses while supporting component-level physical modeling for complex interactions. It achieves the best CLIP and physical controllability scores on both common and uncommon materials, with qualitative comparisons, component-level ablations, and a user study further supporting these improvements.
