arXiv:2611.07049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hybrid Mesh-Gaussian rendering combines compact textured surfaces with flexible 3D Gaussian primitives, offering an efficient alternative to purely Gaussian scene representations for structured environments. Existing scene-reconstruction hybrids commonly follow an additive formulation, where Gaussian residuals compensate for errors left by the mesh. However, not every Mesh-Gaussian conflict is caused by missing content: residual geometry errors, occlusion mismatch, texture-projection artifacts, and view-dependent appearance can make the same mesh content consistent in one view but inconsistent in another. We therefore formulate hybrid rendering as a multi-view inconsistency problem and present Gaussolve, a subtract-and-refill framework that selectively dissolves inconsistent mesh content before residual Gaussians refill the revealed regions. We introduce a lightweight Neural Dissolve Field, parameterized by scalar spherical-harmonic Gaussians, to learn where and from which viewing directions mesh content should be dissolved. A continuous transmittance fusion rule progressively exposes residual Gaussians behind the dissolved mesh, preserving their reconstruction gradients and avoiding hard visibility discontinuities. Experiments on structured and semi-structured scenes demonstrate higher visual fidelity with fewer Gaussian primitives and faster rendering.
