    Read the room. Plenty of people are interested in the aesthetics and the technology.

    Thank you! There are many ways to relight Gaussian splats. However, the highest quality results are currently coming from raytracing/path tracing render engines (such as Octane and…

    Thank you! Geometric analysis for Gaussian splatting is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. Gaussian splats are not really discrete geometry, and their power lies in overlappi…

    Yes, it's quite trivial to convert traditional CG to Gaussian splats. We can render our scenes/objects just as we would capture physical spaces. The additional benefits of using sy…

    First, all credit for execution and vision of Helicopter go to A$AP, Dan Streit, and Grin Machine ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/grin-machine/about/ ). Evercoast and Wild Captu…

    I believe most of the "voxel" approaches also require some type of inference (MLP). This limits the use case and ability to finely control edits. Gaussian splatting is amazing beca…

    That's hurtful.

    Grin Machine knocked this out of the park! Great job, Chris and crew!

    Some companies have a proprietary file format for compressed 4D Gaussian splatting. For example: https://www.gracia.ai and https://www.4dv.ai . Check this project, for example: htt…

    The ghost effect is pretty cool, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQGtimwfpIo

    There's a ton of fun tricks you can perform with Gaussian splatting! You're right that you can intentionally under-construct your scenes. These can create a dream-like effect. It's…

    I have. Personally, I'm a big fan of hybrid representations like this. An underlying mesh helps with relighting, deformation, and effective editing operations (a mesh is a sparse n…

    Yes: https://irrealix.com/plugin/gaussian-splatting-davinci-resol... (I'm not the author.) You can train your own splats using Brush or OpenSplat

    My wife said the same thing, but it gets better after the intro.

    My friend and colleague shared a link with me. Pretty cool to see this trending here. I'm very passionate about Gaussian splatting and developing tools for creatives. And thank you…

    I think it's because they already had proven capture hardware, harvest, and processing workflows. But yes, you can easily use iPhones for this now.

    Aha: https://www.red.com/stories/evercoast-komodo-rig So likely RealSense D455.

    I was not involved in the capture process with Evercoast, but I may have heard somewhere they used RealSense cameras. I recommend asking https://www.linkedin.com/in/benschwartzxr/ …

    Sure! Gaussian splatting is a bit like photogrammetry. That is, you can record video or take photos of an object or environment from many angles and reproduce it in 3D. Gaussians h…

    Gaussian splatting is not NeRF (neural radiance field), but it is a type of radiance field, and supports novel view synthesis. The difference is in an explicit point cloud represen…
