Summary

PhysForge fits physical properties and separates interacting components.

PhysForge uses video-diffusion references to fit material behavior and decomposes complex interactions into separately adjustable components. The authors report improved controllability on two asset datasets. Its tests concern generated, simulatable assets; they do not certify a material's real-world properties.
