Great work! There are more awesome splats on the author's profile page: https://superspl.at/user?id=danylyon

#22Gaussian splats look really good from a distance, but as soon as you zoom in, they really fall off a cliff :/

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
It was mounted at the bottom.. and I can't quite reach it with my camera. Might have to try some two pass way.
Mount it on a needle/skewer, it should let you capture it in one pass.
Assuming that the person that did this has not tried that. If you look at the setup photos, the grape is resting on a couple of nails. This suggests that many different things have been tried.

#24Someone: Please combine microscopy with gaussian splatting.
This was also my first thought when I zoomed in into the strawberry. I wonder if you can achieve a microscope like effect with a more suitable setup. E.g. better lighting, zoom, lens, etc.
I have done 2x macro (an ant).. and want to try 5x.. but as you get closer, the depth of field becomes really shallow. You can do focus stacking but you risk that the individual areas in focus are less ideal aligned and the tracking can't make any sense out of the geometry anymore.

Don't know if this would be in your wheelhouse, but for very nice macro splats, check out the work by Dany Bittel: https://danybittel.ch/macro.html
For example this bumblebee: https://superspl.at/scene/cf6ac78e
Edit: I completely missed that this was posted by him (:

#26this is awesome, I wonder what's under there, looks black, maybe thats where they mounted and rotated the strawberry...

#27Dany, this is so cool.
I'm wondering if the splat community has decided this paper is valuable -- https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/Self-Organizing-Gaussians -- looking at all the detail in the strawberry splat made me wonder how small one can get the download, and what the current state of the art is for compression.

Yes mounting.. and I can't quite reach all the way from below.
Re: Show HN: Gaussian Splat of a Strawberry
#29You might want to throw that one away :)
It is in fact still on it's mount and slowly rotting / molding.. for a second capture :-)

#30Lovely! How was the mechanical setup to ensure that all those shots are consistent, and how long did it take?
I posted some pictures.. takes only 20 min!
