We introduce theHybrid Vector-Occupancy Field (HVOF), a new implicit 3D representation for reconstructing both \textit{open and closed} surfaces from sparse point clouds. Existing approaches, such as occupancy field and signed distance fields, face severe limitations. They struggle with open surfaces, while unsigned distance field and neural vector field exhibit directional instability in complex topologies and ridge regions. HVOF addresses these challenges by incorporating a smoothly decaying occupancy field around the surface, while capturing precise local geometry using truncated displacement vectors, naturally mitigating direction-field ambiguities near ridge regions. This unified design forms a robust hybrid representation that leverages both occupancy and vector fields. To fulfill it, we design a Hybrid Field variational autoencoder including a hierarchical cross-attention encoder and dual-branch decoder that jointly learn occupancy and vector fields through continuous weighting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HVOF consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods across ShapeNet, ABC, and MGN datasets, accurately reconstructing both open and closed surfaces while preserving fine geometric details in complex regions.
