This is my submission for the February, 2024 lighting... challenge in Academy Of Animated Art. Animated by Courtney Oberbeck. I handled the #LookDev, #Grooming, #Shading, #Environment, #Lighting and #Compositing. Rendering was done in #Cinema4D and #Arnold, with compositing in #Nuke. The majority of props and materials were sourced from the Quixel and Greyscalegorilla. Hope you like it and let me know what you think in the comments. The full breakdown you can see here -show more

Introducing Kaleido💮 from AI at Meta — a universal... generative neural rendering engine for photorealistic, unified object and scene view synthesis. Kaleido is built on a simple but powerful design philosophy: 3D perception is a form of visual common sense. Following this idea, we formulate rendering purely as a sequence-to-sequence generation problem, successfully unifying neural rendering with the architecture principles behind modern language and video models. Unlike traditional neural rendering methods, Kaleido learns 3D purely in a data-driven way, without explicit 3D representations or structures. It acquires spatial understanding directly through large-scale video pretraining, then multi-view 3D data finetuning, inspired by how LLMs acquire textual common sense from large corpora before specialising in domains like coding. Through extensive ablations, we progressively modernised the architecture design and training strategies and tackled key scaling challenges in sequence-to-sequence generative rendering, arriving at a design that’s simple, versatile, and scalable. Kaleido significantly outperforms prior generative models in few-view settings, and remarkably is the first zero-shot generative method matches InstantNGP-level rendering quality in multi-view settings. We view Kaleido also as an alternative step towards world modeling that flexibly spans a spectrum of “realities": with many views, it faithfully reconstructs grounded reality; with fewer views, it imagines plausible unseen details. 🔗 Explore more results and paper:show more

We just open-sourced 3DGS render blender addon v4.0 (... It has been a while, but we are still updating this 3D Gaussian Splatting tool! In this version, we added a real-time rendering mode, so say goodbye to those laggy displays in the viewport! Here is an example: I imported a file that contains one million gaussians, super smooth.show more

Haven't posted about Shadow in a while but today... there's a really cool new development. I got to try out a new tool that's in the works that allows for editing of the vfx files, and I made new effects for the Chaos Snap with it. Huge thanks to angryzor for the toolshow more
