Abstract: Diffusion Probabilistic Field (DPF) models the distribution of continuous functions defined over metric spaces. While DPF shows great potential for unifying data generation of various modalities including images, videos, and 3D geometry, it does not scale to a higher data resolution. This can be attributed to the ``scaling property'', where it is difficult for the model to capture local structures through uniform sampling. To this end, we propose a new model comprising of a view-wise sampling algorithm to focus on local structure learning, and incorporating additional guidance, e.g., text description, to complement the global geometry. The model can be scaled to generate high-resolution data while unifying multiple modalities. Experimental results on data generation in various modalities demonstrate the effectiveness of our model, as well as its potential as a foundation framework for scalable modality-unified visual content generation.
