π Overview
RelightFormer revolutionizes image relighting by replacing traditional, computationally expensive inverse rendering with a feed-forward generative Transformer. By seamlessly injecting target lighting into spatial features and processing multiple views symmetrically, it delivers highly photorealistic results. Trained on the newly introduced, large-scale open-source Laval-Objaverse Dataset (LOD), RelightFormer achieves state-of-the-art quality and remarkable generalization across diverse scenes.
β¨ Key Features
- πΉ Feed-Forward Architecture: No iterative optimization required, enabling rapid generation.
- π Multi-View Consistency: Coherent and physically plausible relighting across all viewpoints.
- β‘ Performant Inference: Highly optimized and expeditious execution on modern GPUs.
- π¨ Competitive Quality: State-of-the-art, photorealistic relighting results.
π Quick Start
You can easily load and run the model using the diffsynth library in our GitHub Repository.
We provide two revisions: main (RelightFormer) and post (RelightFormer-Post, fine-tuned for enhanced quality).
from diffsynth import RelightFormerPipeline
# Use revision='main' for RelightFormer, or 'post' for RelightFormer-Post
pipe = RelightFormerPipeline.from_pretrained(
"vLAR/RelightFormer",
revision="main"
)
# Example inference (adjust inputs according to your specific pipeline API)
# output = pipe(image=..., lighting=..., ...)

π¦ Dataset
This model is trained on the Laval-Objaverse Dataset (LOD), comprising 90,545 high-quality 3D assets and 39,008 diverse illumination conditions.

ποΈ Training Details
RelightFormer is fine-tuned from the Wan 2.1 base model. The training pipeline consists of two stages:
- Main Training: Trained on the full LOD dataset to learn multi-view relighting priors.
- Post-Training: A secondary fine-tuning stage to further enhance photorealism and consistency.
Detailed training configurations, hardware requirements (e.g., 4Γ H200 GPUs), and scripts are available in the GitHub Repository.
