From the link: "Shot from 90 perspectives, 88 focus stacked images each. Nikon Z8, full frame, f/7.1, exposure 1/160, ISO 100, Laowa 180mm macro lens, with LED light and bluescreen." Insane!

What? KIRI Engine makes splats. I always wondered what 3DGS might mean.

Yes. I knoweth what "splats" are: They are splats of fuzzy blobs on the display surface.

You might want to throw that one away :)

not sure if that's a joke but i think that's just the effect of the strawberry being placed on a glass/plastic surface to be filmed from underneath

Yup. It's rotten on the other side. Or maybe lead poisoned

Sorry if I fell for Poe's law, but just for clarity, the strawberry's rotten underside is most likely missing splats in the rendering.

It was mounted at the bottom.. and I can't quite reach it with my camera. Might have to try some two pass way.
