Scanning large surface with PBR maps? No problem! Still... polishing the methodologies and approach but initial tests are very promising. Here is a 130 x 50 cm tabletop, tricky reflective surface especially if we are aiming for smooth reconstruction.show more

More tests. It's not possible to make the squishy... surface for a full character with this method, but it's promising to see and fun to play around on!show more

We can 3D scan even the hardest objects -... dark, low-contrast, and nearly featureless surfaces are no longer a challenge - all with full PBR material stack. Need this level of precision for your production? Let me know! #photogrammetry #photometryshow more

"No dad, this surface looks smooth and shiny, I... feel safe here"show more

That's a hammer time again - just another prop... from recent random scans - full PBR stack, automated capture, zero manual cleanup - just plug & play in your engine. We provide top quality 3D scanning services for games, film, fashion, and e-commerce.show more

Efficiency surface polishing

A wet evening and night for some of us,... especially in northern England and Wales 🌧️ The rain is still largely welcome after the extended dry period over the summer, however expect some large puddles and surface water on the roads if you're travelling first thing on Friday 🚙show more

Introducing sigmaPBR - our new PBR solver which is... currently in closed beta testing. sigmaPBR uses photometric images, camera poses, and input geometry to reconstruct accurate physically based material properties for use in rendering, ML training and 3D scanning pipelines.show more

Yesterday we talked about the real alpha: Joining a... Node Community. Some of you dove in. Some are still circling the surface. But here's what we want to know: If you've already formed or joined a community… How deep is your tribe swimming?👇show more

🎨🛠️ To prove this is a 3D charcoal system... running realtime, here are some tests! Including 3D, light and smoothness. The grid was a tile under-tone PBR texture setup, but ayo!show more

Adaptive and Temporally Consistent Gaussian Surfels for Multi-view Dynamic... Reconstruction Contributions: • A method for efficiently reconstructing dynamic surfaces from multi-view videos using Gaussian surfels. • A unified and gradient-aware densification strategy for optimizing dynamic 3D Gaussians with fine details. • A temporal consistency approach that ensures stable and coherent surface reconstructions across frames by enforcing consistency on curvature maps. • Extensive experiments that demonstrate our method’s advantages including fast training, high-fidelity novel view synthesis, and accurate surface geometry.show more

Just sunlight on a reflective surface: it can create... the most mesmerizing visuals.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

The only problem with not using your Tesla brakes... much is that almost everyone has some surface rust build up. It’s incredibly common, especially in colder climates. Tesla made it easy to remove the surface rust by adding a dedicated Brake Burnishing feature in the car’s native Service Mode. You just follow the visual guides for optimal speed and pedal pressure in order to safely remove surface rust. They make it so easy. 👌🏻show more

A pair of oarfish caught on video swimming at... the surface, these are fish that usually stay thousands of feet below the surface. Legend says they can predict when an earthquake is about to happen and move closer to the surface.show more

A thin coating of glaze ice on a surface,... especially on roads is known as black ice. The ice itself is not black, but visually transparent, often resulting in very slippery and hazardous conditions. [📹 John Kriesel]show more

Heating plastic with a torch melts the faded surface,... removing oxidation and making it smooth and shiny again like new!show more
