3D object generation has undergone significant advancements yielding high-quality results. However fall short in achieving precise user control often yielding results that do not align with user expectations thus limiting their applicability. User-envisioning 3D object generation faces significant challenges in realizing its concepts using current generative models due to limited interaction capabilities. Existing methods mainly offer two approaches: (i) interpreting textual instructions with constrained controllability or (ii) reconstructing 3D objects from 2D images. Both of them limit customization to the confines of the 2D reference and potentially introduce undesirable artifacts during the 3D lifting process restricting the scope for direct and versatile 3D modifications. In this work we introduce Interactive3D an innovative framework for interactive 3D generation that grants users precise control over the generative process through extensive 3D interaction capabilities. Interactive3D is constructed in two cascading stages utilizing distinct 3D representations. The first stage employs Gaussian Splatting for direct user interaction allowing modifications and guidance of the generative direction at any intermediate step through (i) Adding and Removing components (ii) Deformable and Rigid Dragging (iii) Geometric Transformations and (iv) Semantic Editing. Subsequently the Gaussian splats are transformed into InstantNGP. We introduce a novel (v) Interactive Hash Refinement module to further add details and extract the geometry in the second stage. Our experiments demonstrate that proposed Interactive3D markedly improves the controllability and quality of 3D generation. Our project webpage is available at https://interactive-3d.github.io/.
