| # 4DCodeBench-Synthetic |
|
|
| [Project page](https://4dcodebench.com) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2610.03715) | [Code](https://github.com/4DCodeBench/4DCodeBench) |
|
|
| The 100 synthetic cases of 4DCodeBench: a rendered video of a simulated scene and the ground-truth world behind it. The worlds come from ten simulators, and each carries the geometry of every frame and the trajectory of the moving matter, which is what a reconstruction is scored against. |
|
|
| ## Layout |
|
|
| ```text |
| videos/<case>.mp4 the reference video, as the benchmark reads it |
| worlds/<case>.h5 the ground-truth world, packed |
| ``` |
|
|
| 43 GB of worlds and 188 MB of video. `videos/<case>.mp4` is the same video that sits inside `worlds/<case>.h5`, byte for byte, so either copy can be used. |
|
|
| ## What a world holds |
|
|
| ```text |
| camera.json {"intrinsics": K, "extrinsic": E}, the fixed camera the video was rendered through |
| render.mp4 the reference video |
| meshes/<id> each rendered object's vertices and triangles at every frame |
| dynamics/<name> the moving matter: pos (frames, points, 3), column j the same material through time |
| solver/ a liquid solver's own bake, on the eight liquid cases |
| ``` |
|
|
| Positions are in world-space metres with Z up. A mesh may change its vertex count and topology from frame to frame, as a liquid surface or a fracture does; `dynamics/` is where the frame-to-frame correspondence lives. |
|
|
| The eight liquid cases (B_02, B_09, B_11, B_13, B_14, B_19, B_27, B_28) also carry `solver/manifest.json`, `solver/CACHE.json` and `solver/cache/`, the bake their surface was meshed from. |
|
|
| Unpack a world into a directory with `pack_world.py unpack worlds/<case>.h5 -o <dir>` from the benchmark's code release. The packing is lossless and bit-exact in both directions. |
