This t ask is very challenging due to the lack of dedicated representations and d atasets for learning coherently-connected bricks arrangements, as well as an immense design space that is combinatorial in nature. We approach this task by focusing on creating LEGO micro buildings. Our contributions are f our-fold. First, we propose the LEGO semantic volume representation to enc ode LEGO models, considering the bricks types and bricks connections, whil e allowing back-propagation learning. Second, we further consider the tran sformative nature of LEGO to atomize the semantic volume and formulate a g enerative model to learn the representation. Third, we build a rich datase t of LEGO micro buildings for model learning. Last, we design the progress ive LEGO decoder to reconstruct LEGO models from the generated representat ions, while ensuring bricks connections. We employed our pipeline to creat e LEGO micro buildings with a wide array of brick types, demonstrating its strong capability of learning diverse micro-building styles and producing assemble-able LEGO models. Further, we performed various quantitative eva luations, ablations, and a user study to show the compelling capability of our approach in terms of generative quality, fidelity, and diversity.\n\n Registration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Form at: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Manolis Savva (Simon Fraser Univers ity) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_104&sess=sess136 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
