Aren't they a faster, lower fidelity model, like all models?
It is a faster, lower fidelity model. but it's not JUST a faster, lower fidelity model. The new model can be queried in new ways. The encoding from the RenderMan scene into the neural proxy allows for differentiable relighting. Once you have differentiability, you can find out what inputs create a desired output with gradient descent, instead of trying every possible input. Neural proxies are also much, much faster f…
I am subscribed to the Disney research channel, and I see really cool stuff there all the time. its usually a bummer though when I find no public repo or code is available for their stuff. Every time feels like blue balled....
These days with LLMs, can't you get just ask the AI to do a reproduction if you really like the research?
