• Abstract: The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps. Moreover, the limited scale and diversity of existing annotated datasets further hinder generalization to complex, real-world objects. To overcome these limitations, we propose to learn the joint distribution of visual dynamics and kinematic parameters. Recognizing that articulated objects can be formulated as dynamic systems, we propose a unified Part World Model called PWM-ArtGen. To leverage unannotated data, this model couples action diffusion and image diffusion with independent diffusion timesteps, which enables visual branch co-training. We further curate a photorealistic dataset of 19.7k part-level image pairs without kinematic annotations, to support co-training. Experiments demonstrate that PWM-ArtGen substantially outperforms existing baselines in the resting state and exhibits strong zero-shot generalization to out-of-distribution objects.
