BlenderRAG: High-Fidelity 3D Object Generation via Retrieval-Augmented Code Synthesis

Automatic generation of executable Blender code from natural language remains challenging, with state-of-the-art LLMs producing frequent syntactic errors and geometrically inconsistent objects. We present BlenderRAG, a retrieval-augmented generation system that operates on a curated multimodal dataset of 500 expert-validated examples (text, code, image) across 50 object categories. By retrieving semantically similar examples during generation, BlenderRAG improves compilation success rates from 40.8% to 70.0% and semantic normalized alignment from 0.41 to 0.77 (CLIP similarity) across four state-of-the-art LLMs, without requiring fine-tuning or specialized hardware, making it immediately accessible for deployment. The dataset and code will be available at https://github.com/MaxRondelli/BlenderRAG.

Improving Diffusion Posterior Samplers with Lagged Temporal Corrections for Image Restoration

Diffusion-based posterior sampling (PS) is a leading framework for imaging inverse problems, combining learned priors with measurement constraints. Yet, its standard formulations rely on instantaneous data-consistent estimates, which induce temporal variability in the reverse dynamics. We reinterpret PS from a dynamical perspective, showing that the standard PS update corresponds to a first-order discretization of the diffusion dynamics plus a residual correction capturing the mismatch between the denoised prediction and the data-consistent estimate. A second-order discretization, however, naturally introduces a temporal correction based on the variation of consecutive estimates. Building on this, we propose LAMP, combining the second-order update with the residual correction characterizing a PS technique. LAMP thus inherits a lagged temporal correction, and it can be implemented as a modular plug-in over the PS backbone. We show that LAMP preserves the structure of a posterior sampler, and we perform a one-step risk analysis to characterize when LAMP improves the reverse transition via a bias-variance trade-off. Experiments across multiple imaging tasks demonstrate consistent improvements over strong baselines such as DiffPIR and DDRM, without increasing the number of denoising evaluations.
