I am developing B3D, a minimal software 3D renderer... that supports triangle rasterization with depth buffering and clipping, perspective projection with a configurable FOV, model transformations (translation, rotation, scaling), and camera control.show more

Happy Monday! We just added raycast sensors to mjlab.... They let a robot sample the scene with virtual rays, returning distances and surface geometry. Rays can use orthographic projection for terrain scanning or perspective projection for simulating a depth camera.show more

Quick rendering math lesson (common trap): FoV in Unreal... Engine isn't interpolated correctly when blending between two cameras The current code does: FoV = lerp(FoVA, FoVB, Weight) however, that's not how you interpolate FoV! To be "perceptually" linear and also correct under aspect ratio scaling, FoV needs to be lerped in tangent space: FoV = atan(lerp(tan(FoVA*0.5), tan(FoVB*0.5), Weight)) * 2 First video showcasing the problem. Blending between a 32:9 camera with 98.21° FoV and a 16:9 camera with 60° FoV. Viewport is 32:9. Due to FoV scaling being Hor+ by default in UE, at 32:9 they should look identical. But during blends, they don't (the FoV isn't stable)! The relationship between FoV and aspect ratio isn’t linear, because FoV is angular In practice, it also means camera interps aren't as smooth as they could be, second video shows that. PR to fix the problem: hopefully it gets merged!show more

Going beyond the 3rd dimension in Blender. Here the... hypercubes for 4D-5D-6D, with some rotation and projection down to 3D. The shameful bit is having matrix multiplication implemented in GN via nested "Repeat Zone". #b3d #geometrynodes #hypercubeshow more

I am blown away 🤯. Check this out! CameraCtrl... II: Dynamic Scene Exploration via Camera-controlled Video Diffusion Models TL;DR: "To enable broader exploration of dynamic scenes, our model can generate new video clips of the same scene based on previously generated content and user-provided camera trajectories. This approach maintains dynamic capabilities, accurate camera control, and scene consistency throughout the extended exploration." "Our model enables precise camera control across diverse scenarios while preserving dynamic scene elements, e.g." "Our method can generate videos with strong 3D consistency, which enables high-quality 3D reconstruction using the camera-controlled videos." Contributions: 1) A systematic data curation pipeline for constructing a dynamic video dataset with camera trajectory annotations; 2) A lightweight camera control injection module and corresponding training strategy that preserves dynamic video generation capabilities while adding camera control effect; 3) A clip-wise autoregressive generation recipe that enables extended range exploration of generated scenes.show more

Art test I did a while back for a... mobile game studio. I don't think it fits my portfolio but I still had fun with it. Was given a brief and a style board and then had to come up with a design myself and model it out. #gameart #blender #b3d #SubstancePainter #3dart #3D #Stylizedshow more

A real-time AI motion capture model with 1B parameters.... Connects to a 1080P camera or processes uploaded video to generate 3D motion data in real time. Supports Unreal Engine, Unity, and Blender, requiring 8GB of GPU VRAM for real-time processing.show more

Math and Music: An animated Halvorsen attractor rendered in... 3D with glowing lines and smooth motion. Supports camera movement, dynamic lighting, and three visual themes that shift the mood and color of the form. Coded with Grok. 🔊show more

I ♥️clipping legwear to the leg & moving it... left/right for that "3D" effect but I hate the lack of perspective. With deformers I managed to move the fishnet around the leg AND have a "Wrap" effect! See the fishnet get tight as it turns around the leg edge? :3 #Live2d #vtubershow more

Simplify face manipulation in Plasticity with easy selection, movement,... rotation, and scaling—bypassing the need for intricate boolean setups. You can learn more about our powerful CAD software, Plasticity, at #CADforartists #plasticity3dshow more

Singular Value Decomposition is a matrix factorization that expresses... a matrix M as UΣVᵀ, where U and V are orthogonal matrices, and Σ is diagonal. It can interpreted as the action of a rotation, a scaling and a rotation/reflection.show more

Simple texture flow with RepeatZone. Can work as a... base color. Flow direction with shader nodes and some random rotation for dispersion. Base idea below. #b3d #shadermetrynodesshow more

Depth Anything V2 is a total beast for real-time... 3D. Built a website that hits 30fps+ depth reconstructions from a single camera feed, extruding 12k voxels via WebGPU. Pure ML running local Vision Transformers with Three.js and zero backend lag. Lmk in the comments if you want a copy! 🙌 Experience and music made with AI in Omma AI (tool by Spline).show more

Finished 3d Character Comm for ahlyess ! This is... of Zalgo Hellium, I had a fun time working with you and on this model! Thank you so much! (Will spoiler anything too up close!) Created with Zbrush, Blender, Marmoset toolbag, And substance painter(🧵) #themirrorbetweenwalls #b3dshow more

Went in with high expectations for Mahavatar Narsimha. I... already knew the story from my nani, so I was excited for the visual experience. But the animation felt too flat & illustrative, and 3D depth was so minimal that the glasses felt pointless.show more

If I’d known as a kid that one day,... I’d be able to design and animate something like this and 3D print it, all in an afternoon using free software… well I probably wouldn’t have cared but I think it’s cool now! #b3dshow more
