摘要

Latent 3D representations have significantly expanded the capabilities of modern shape modeling, enabling compact encoding of 3D scenes and supporting powerful 3D generative models. Despite this progress, current representations struggle to capture the fine details of complex objects, fundamentally limited by the capacity of their latents. However, scaling latent capacity at training time is computationally expensive and often infeasible under memory limits, and naively increasing the number of latents at inference fails to make effective use of the added capacity. In this paper, we address both challenges with \textit{split-and-scale}, a method that effectively expands latent capacity at inference while keeping training cost tractable. Our key observation is that by representing 3D scenes as continuous functions of 3D coordinates, a single pretrained tokenizer can be applied at inference to arbitrarily small sub-regions of a scene, allocating the same latent capacity to a smaller spatial extent and thus capturing far higher detail. We validate this insight by conducting extensive ablations to study the trade-offs between compute, memory, latent capacity, and reconstruction quality, demonstrating our inference-time scaling method achieves quality competitive with much larger models that exceed single-GPU memory limits. We further demonstrate that split-and-scale supports high-quality generative modeling, training an autoregressive 3D generator that performs competitively with state-of-the-art baselines.
