This is amazing! How can I learn to do this?

looks like a landslide, not a glacier collapse?

It is indeed a glacier collapse. I live not so far away. It is a big thing in the news here.

Virtual production democratized. 3D scan any space or place, reconstruct it using 3D Gaussian Splatting (eg Polycam) and use it as an environment you can film in — all using the iPhone in your pocket 🤯

#3D model using Gaussian splatting with approx. 1400 photos of a drone flight over the Kastel-Staadt hermitage near #Trier. I had already calculated a photogrammetry model last year, the details of the plants in this model are fantastic.

WATCH: A village in Switzerland was buried in a recent glacier collapse. “Almost the entire Birch Glacier, located above Blatten, collapsed, causing a gigantic landslide,” the government of the canton of Valais said in a statement translated from French.

📢 I’m testing ViggleAI new AI tool, PINOC, and it’s seriously impressive. You can create 3D Gaussian splatting models from just one image and animate them with a video! It’s the first AI I’ve tried that can animate Gaussian splatting models. I also talked to someone from Viggle, and they might add the option to import your own Gaussian splatting models and animate them. If that happens, I’ll probably make a video tutorial showing how to boost the detail level of a Gaussian splatting model by 4x to create highly realistic animated characters.

This is the Swiss village of Blatten - completely devastated after Earthquakes caused a Glacier to completely collapse. This is of course exceptionally rare, but we also live in exceptional times.

Gaussian Garments: Reconstructing Simulation-Ready Clothing with Photorealistic Appearance from Multi-View Video Contribution quote from the paper: In summary, our main contributions are • a comprehensive pipeline for reconstructing the shape, appearance, and behavior of real-world garments using Gaussian splatting, • an algorithm for registering garment meshes to multi- view videos with an optimization procedure based on Gaussian splatting, and • a Gaussian Garment representation that combines triangle meshes with Gaussian textures to capture photorealistic appearance and can be used as a fully controllable 3D asset.

🇨🇭 GLACIER COLLAPSE BURIED SWISS VILLAGE A massive chunk of glacier broke off in the Swiss Alps, unleashing a tidal wave of mud and rock that buried 90% of the village of Blatten. 1 person is missing. The village had been evacuated just days earlier over fears of a rockslide. Turns out, the warnings weren’t dramatic—they were dead-on. The mayor says they’ll rebuild, but for now, Blatten is gone.

HoloDreamer can generate enclosed 3D scenes from text descriptions! It does so by first creating a high-quality equirectangular panorama and then rapidly reconstructing the 3D scene using 3D Gaussian Splatting. Links ⬇️
