Recent advances in 3D multimodal large language models (3D-MLLMs) have enabled unified solutions for 3D scene understanding tasks, including visual question answering, captioning, and referring segmentation. However, existing 3D-MLLMs remain largely object-centric, limiting their ability to model fine-grained part structures that are essential for embodied interaction with 3D environments. In this work, we present PAR3D, a unified part-aware 3D-MLLM framework that enables models to understand, reason about, and ground both objects and their parts in 3D scenes. To enable training and evaluation of part-aware 3D scene understanding, we introduce ScenePart, a synthetic 3D scene dataset with part-level annotations and language instructions. We further develop Part-Aware 3D Representation Learning to enrich 3D visual representations with fine-grained part-level semantics, and propose Hierarchical Segmentation Query Generation to ground part targets via hierarchical object-part queries. Extensive experiments show that our method substantially improves part-level question answering and referring segmentation, while also achieving strong performance across object-level vision-language tasks.

Bridging natural language and 3D geometry is a crucial step toward flexible, language-driven scene understanding. While recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled fast and high-quality scene reconstruction, research has also explored incorporating open-vocabulary understanding into 3DGS. However, most existing methods require iterative optimization over per-view 2D semantic feature maps, which not only results in inefficiencies but also leads to inconsistent 3D semantics across views. To address these limitations, we introduce a training-free framework that constructs a superpoint graph directly from Gaussian primitives. The superpoint graph partitions the scene into spatially compact and semantically coherent regions, forming view-consistent 3D entities and providing a structured foundation for open-vocabulary understanding. Based on the graph structure, we design an efficient reprojection strategy that lifts 2D semantic features onto the superpoints, avoiding costly multi-view iterative training. The resulting representation ensures strong 3D semantic coherence and naturally supports hierarchical understanding, enabling both coarse- and fine-grained open-vocabulary perception within a unified semantic field. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art open-vocabulary segmentation performance, with semantic field reconstruction completed over $30\times$ faster.

Reconstructing 3D objects from a single image remains challenging, especially under real-world occlusions. While recent diffusion-based view synthesis models can generate consistent novel views from a single RGB image, they typically assume fully visible inputs and fail when parts of the object are occluded, resulting in degraded 3D reconstruction quality. We propose DeOcc-1-to-3, an end-to-end framework for occlusion-aware multi-view generation that synthesizes six structurally consistent novel views directly from a single occluded image, enabling reliable 3D reconstruction without prior inpainting or manual annotations. Our self-supervised training pipeline leverages occluded-unoccluded image pairs and pseudo-ground-truth views to teach the model structure-aware completion and view consistency. Without modifying the original architecture, we fully fine-tune the view synthesis model to jointly learn completion and multi-view generation. Additionally, we introduce the first benchmark for occlusion-aware reconstruction, covering diverse occlusion levels, object categories, and masking patterns, providing a standardized protocol for future evaluation.
