and demand tedious, manual input to operate. To address this, we develop automated techniques for locally editing 3D shapes using only the intuitive medium of text descriptions as guidance. We first explore an approach to text-driven region localization utilizing
the inherent semantic understanding of 2D generative models to extract explicit localizations on our 3D shape. Since our neural optimization is supervised by a pre-trained 2D model, we bypass the need for any 3D datasets or 3D annotations. We then discuss
how to incorporate local texture edits by simultaneously learning a localization and local texture which confor</span><span class="x_x_outlook-search-highlight" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666984558105px; color: rgb(7, 7, 6);">ms</span><span class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666984558105px;"> to

To enhance the details and resolution of our local edits, we supervise our optimization with generative priors learned from images at different resolutions, enabling control over both the granularity and global understanding of the supervision.</span><br class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">
