Earlier 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.

#42Wow this is a time killer... ended up here: https://superspl.at/scene/ff1d0393 beautiful!

#43I read [1], but I still don't quite know what I'm looking at. My guess is a 3D model reconstructed from lots of detailed pictures? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_splatting
Lots of translucent blobs composited to produce the appearance of a strawberry.
There is no mesh or model. The visual surface of the strawberry could be made up of blobs spaced far apart physically and not where the surface appears to be.
This is why they are called radiance fields, they model the light not the geometry.
Practically the blobs positions/rotations can be constrained to better physically match the geometry of a strawberry.

I'm not sure i agree. The blobs are exactly where the surface appear to be because they are constrained by multiple viewing angles.
Otherwise the splat would fall apart as soon as the viewing angle is changed slightly (Which it absolutely does in many examples on supersplat, you cannot really create an out of distribution view with 3GS, it's not magic)

#45Imagine if we start designing GPUs around this technology as opposed to vectors. Imagine what voxel engines would look like. Would love a simulated experience or a small scale that theorizes about this.

#46My intuition is that in theory focus stacking should not be necessary as preprocessing step for 3dgs (or photogrammetry). Does anyone know if there is any recent developments in this regard? Focus stacking generally is not perfect process and can lead to artifacts/errors and I'd imagine those can then compound when stacked images are used for 3dgs. Also the image focus actually provides some depth data in itself that…
If you don't focus stack and try to train on partially unfocused images, the optimizer will try to match the rendered view to be also partially unfocused.
You would have to mask out the blurry areas for each image. I guess one could just implement a feature where the optimizer only optimizes gaussians within the sharp distances relative to the camera.

#47I built PlayCanvas in 2011 to power video games. Here we are in 2026 and it's powering strawberries.

#48I'm really interested to see what folks can do with animated Gaussian splats: https://youtu.be/X8yRlA7jqEQ?si=dXeHa03jO7MTBNLA
The filesize of a 3d animated splat is seemingly very small, and the method enables ~arbitrary FPS. But it seems the setup required to record it is still huge and expensive, which limits its usefulness.
Even with that there are some interesting use cases, eg. I'd love to be able to watch concerts this way, and freely move around the stage and crowd from any angle.

#49Beautiful. What I love about gaussian splats is the way they degrade - instead of a hard cutoff or LoD changing spheres into cubes etc., they get increasingly "dreamy" - the basic idea is still there, just less detailed. Take for example this scene: https://superspl.at/scene/e721ea7c If you navigate closer to the trees, things around you become blurry - as if the very fabric of reality unraveled.
I don't know anything about them but it's a cool effect. At least on this strawberry, you're not zooming in but rather traveling closer. I don't see the increasing (made up) detail you'd expect from a zoom, we sort of pop through the skin into an invented interior.

#50Just wow!
As I scrolled through the website, I was even more impressed with this one though!
