3D generation has raised great attention in recent years. With the success of text-to-image diffusion models the 2D-lifting technique becomes a promising route to controllable 3D generation. However these methods tend to present inconsistent geometry which is also known as the Janus problem. We observe that the problem is caused mainly by two aspects i.e. viewpoint bias in 2D diffusion models and overfitting of the optimization objective. To address it we propose a two-stage 2D-lifting framework namely DreamControl which optimizes coarse NeRF scenes as 3D self-prior and then generates fine-grained objects with control-based score distillation. Specifically adaptive viewpoint sampling and boundary integrity metric are proposed to ensure the consistency of generated priors. The priors are then regarded as input conditions to maintain reasonable geometries in which conditional LoRA and weighted score are further proposed to optimize detailed textures. DreamControl can generate high-quality 3D content in terms of both geometry consistency and texture fidelity. Moreover our control-based optimization guidance is applicable to more downstream tasks including user-guided generation and 3D animation.
