My biggest Gaussian Splatting scene yet, stitching multiple scans together in one Unity scene with Aras Pranckevičius 🇺🇦🇱🇹 project. Inspired by Block-NeRF! I'm fading between each scan here, but working on seamless transitions next. Kew Palace captured with Insta360 RS 1”. #gaussiansplatting

Whoa. How many millions of splats is this total? (And what’s the performance)

grade eterna2 years ago

About 8 mil splats here in total, but only 2 mil at the same time. Deleted a lot of junk with your and @hybridherbst great editing tools! I used the "very high" preset, and it's running about 150fps in HDRP on my 3090.

@aras_p @insta360 I thought splats were already good for streaming, can we not stream segments between scenes anyways?

softyoda2 years ago

@aras_p @insta360 We need a new and that could render scene by octree (to be dependent of density and render with LOD/HLOD) for massive dataset (10k<200k images) ! Amazing work ! Did you use argument: --position_lr_init 0.000016 --scaling_lr 0.001"

grade eterna2 years ago

@aras_p @insta360 Thanks! I used close to default training settings with smaller scan chunks. I haven't had much luck using those scaling arguments with big datasets.

Vincent Bui2 years ago

@aras_p @insta360 Impressive! It seems the performance is here, are theses files big?

grade eterna2 years ago

@aras_p @insta360 Thanks! I used the highest quality preset, so all these scans are around 2GB. But if you used the "very low" preset it would be 18x smaller, and only 110mb!

3D scanning and rendering is moving so fast - got my splats up and running and I'm mind blown getting ~100fps for this complex 3D scene ⬇️ 🤯 1. WAY faster than NeRF: For comparison, NeRFs would takes around 10 seconds per frame (!) Instead I'm zipping around with FPV controls without breaking a sweat - though I do crash a few times towards the end of the video lol 2. Old Meets New: Gaussian Splatting is cool in that it fuses classical graphics and deep learning techniques. Like NeRFs, this is still a radiance field - just without the slower (ne)ural rendering part. 3. Explicit Representation: Instead you represent a 3D scene as a collection of ellipsoidal "splats" called gaussians. Each gaussian has a position, size, and color. Rendering in real-time is done by projecting into the image plane and alpha blending. 4. Photorealistic Effects: Gaussian splatting use spherical harmonics to represent the view-dependent effects and lighting - allowing surfaces to change color when viewed from different angles, enabling greater photorealism. It doesn't use a neural network, but the training loop is similar to deep learning. 5. Enables Direct Editing: But it's not just speed - with Gaussian Splatting you also get 3D editing support! So you can select, move, and delete stuff, even relight stuff. This type of editing has been more tedious to do with NeRFs and their implicit black box representations. 📲 More tests cooking! Much more to unpack here including simpler explanations. If you enjoyed this post, you might enjoy my feed: Bilawal Sidhu

$This is only the beginning. 🔊 Sound On What does it mean to explore a house built from memory — one that feels familiar, yet shifts each time you return? That question is at the heart of Memory House, a project that unfolds through space, silence, and surreal interruption. Grateful to the World Labs team for making this experiment possible — their latest tool Marble opens up a new way of building. With Gaussian splatting, a single 2D image becomes a 3D space you can step inside. From there, entire environments can grow by stitching rooms together, layering ambience, proximity, and subtle triggers for immersion. The teaser captures just the start of an exploration in narrative: waking up in bed, following the quiet sounds of home, and stepping into a kitchen where reality begins to fracture. But that’s only one fragment of a project now expanding into 30+ connected rooms. With Worldlabs, alongside tools like Veo3 and ElevenLabs, Memory House is evolving into a new form of storytelling — where memory isn’t told on a page, but experienced through space.$

'ROLLS' 🎞🎞🎞 Let’s see what develops. My newest project is inspired by the interesting overlaps of blockchain and photographic film technologies. Both of these systems can be seen as decentralized, immutable time chains- whose value is determined by distributed consensus mechanisms. ROLLS seeks to highlight and amplify these commonalities, while also exploring the nature of trust between artist and collector. ROLLS begins with 10 tokens to be auctioned off in sequence on SuperRare, starting on August 3rd, 2023. Each token is a placeholder that corresponds to one frame on one unshot roll of film. Once all tokens are sold, I'll go out with my Mamiya 7ii Medium Format Film camera and shoot this one roll of film. Once the ROLL is completed, token metadatawill “develop” and will be updated with the final art- high resolution film scans. The mechanics of this project effectively turn my camera shutter button into a "mint" button. Knowing who has collected each frame will add a gravity to the decision to expose that particular frame. The price, provenance, taste and character of each collector will affect my creative process and my decisions about what- and where- to create. I love the pressure and the dynamic this creates between us, and I'm up for the challenge. Let's run it! 🎞️🫡 Video by the amazing Sal

most people struggle to generate human faces consistently on seedance 2.0, especially when relying on character sheets a lot of the time, the system rejects it or the face breaks across scenes so I built a workflow that uses a base image as the anchor instead this keeps the face clean, natural, and consistent while still giving you full control for cinematic shots it’s a small change, but it makes a huge difference when working with human characters another thing I’ve learned, instead of generating scene by scene (which burns a lot of credits), it’s much more efficient to build multiple moments inside one 15s generation you can guide each second with slightly different prompt directions, then refine the final result with manual cut-to-cut editing this way you get more usable footage in one go and still keep control in post try it here: FLORA © #FLORATechnique

Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 built the same scroll-animated website from 1 skill in 32 minutes and only 1 of them made it feel like a film. Same prompt: boutique Japan travel brand, origami style. A subway pulls in, a paper house unfolds into a hotel, a bird takes flight as you scroll. Doing this by hand is brutal multiple videos, matched starting frames, frames ripped out 1 by 1 and synced to scroll position. The skill does all of it: Generate 1 anchor image and approve it every scene inherits the style Turn it into video through the Higgs Field MCP (Seedance), straight from the terminal FFmpeg pulls every frame Each frame maps to scroll position, so your scrollbar becomes the playhead Setup is just connecting the MCP and loading the skill works in Claude Code and Codex. It interviews you first about scenes, budget and mobile, then shows the anchor image before burning a single credit on video. Budget reality: 6 scenes runs ~800 credits and is overkill, 4 scenes is the sweet spot, crop-safe mobile is the cheap path. The verdict came down to transitions. GPT-5.6 Soul built strong scenes with incredible detail inside each one then hard cuts between scene 1 and 2, and again between 2 and 3. Fable 5 stitched them together: wires push out of the top of frame while the next scene blurs in behind, gains depth and locks into place. Same skill, same prompts, 10 generations each. Credit to Peter Wang for the original Scroll World skill open source, now forked with budget tiers and mobile fixes. Soul built 4 scenes. Fable built 1 film.

Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 built the same scroll-animated website from one skill in 32 minutes. Only one of them made it feel like a film. Same prompt. Boutique Japan travel brand, origami style. A subway pulls in, a paper house unfolds into a hotel, a bird takes flight as you scroll. Doing this by hand is brutal, so the skill handles everything automatically. Here is how it works: → One anchor image sets the visual style and every scene that follows inherits it automatically → Higgsfield generates the video straight from the terminal through the MCP connection, no manual exporting → FFmpeg rips every frame out of the generated video automatically → Each frame then gets mapped to a scroll position so your scrollbar literally becomes the playhead The verdict came down to transitions. GPT-5.6 built strong individual scenes with incredible detail inside each one, but then hard-cut between them with no connection. Fable 5 stitched everything together. Wires push out of the top of the frame while the next scene blurs in behind it, gains depth and locks into place seamlessly. Same skill, same prompts, 10 generations each from both models. GPT-5.6 built 4 scenes. Fable 5 built one continuous film. Credit: Chase AI

#JANHAE #JanJingjing #EnemiesWithBenefits 💬: which scene do you like the most? 🦊: for me, in the past 3 episodes… let me think first. honestly, i like a lot of scenes. it was fun while filming! i like the scene where they buy stickers for each other. we filmed that scene during q1, and everyone was still… normally, for qs 1-2, they’re like the experimenting phase. oh we filmed it on q2, or q1? one of the first qs, i don’t remember if it’s 1 or 2. qs 1-2 is the period where you’ve officially started for real and are trying to see whether you need to add or adjust anything. it won’t be perfect yet. it’s more like we use it for experimentation 🦊: but that scene was filmed during q1 or 2. at first, everyone probably thought, “let’s try acting it out first! and if anything doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust it later.” but it turned out that, when we finished filming that scene, everyone (clapped). because it was so cute!!! they said, “oh so cute! so good!” they weren’t worried anymore about us acting in scenes together, our chemistry, or us pairing up. so jing and i immediately high-fived! 🦊: because when we were filming, i already thought it was very cute. and it was the first scene, you know, where we acted together as a pair in cutesy vibes. because most of my scenes in q1… oh yeah this scene was probably q1, and it was mostly my scenes in the office with the nongs (i.e., sales team). i didn’t really get to act with jing too much. so that was probably our first scene together, or it was the scene where we interacted with each other the most at that time. and everyone said we did well so we’re (clapping) happy~ i liked it, that scene was cute!

Heat (1995) Dir. Michael Mann Mann on the how he prepared the coffee shop scene. "We did two things: We discussed the scene. Then we did some rehearsals, but I was wary because the entire movie is a dialectic that works backward from its last moment... Both men recognize that their next encounter will mean certain death for one of them. Gaining an edge is why they've chosen to meet. So we read the scene a number of times before shooting—not a lot—just looking at it on the page. I didn't want it memorized. My goal was to get them past the unfamiliarity of it. But of course these two already knew it impeccably. We shot that scene with three cameras, two over-the-shoulders and one profile shot, but I found when editing that every time we cut to the profile, the scene lost its one-on-one intensity. I'll often work with multiple cameras, if they're needed. In this case, I knew ahead of time that Pacino and De Niro were so highly attuned to each other that each take would have its own organic unity. Whatever one said, and the specific way he'd say it, would spark a specific reaction in the other. I needed to shoot in such a way that I could use the same take from both angles. What's in the finished film is almost all of take 11—because that has an entirely different integrity and tonality from takes 10, or 9, or 8. All of this begins and ends with scene analysis. It doesn't matter if it's two people in a room or two opposing forces taking over a street. Action comes from drama, and drama is conflict: What's the conflict?"

MVP of Multiview Video → Camera parameters + 3D keypoints. Visualized with Rerun The basic pipeline as of right now looks like this: 1. Capture 🔴 – Using 4 iPhones and an Insta360 Go. iPhone videos are captured via Final Cut Pro Multicam for easy sync and the exocentric view; the Insta360 Go is used for the egocentric view. 2. Sync 🕒 – Custom Gradio app using two Rerun viewers and callbacks for easily aligning frame timestamps so the ego and exo views are aligned. 3. Calibrate 🎯 – Use VGGT from Jianyuan and AI at Meta to get intrinsics/extrinsics for sparse cameras. 4. Estimate 3D 🕺 – Use RTMLib whole‑body keypoint estimator on each frame, then triangulate in 3D. What's missing? 1. No temporal coherence: I’m estimating keypoints one frame at a time and one camera at a time. This leads to a lot of jittering. For now, I plan on adding a One Euro Filter to help with jittering. Long term, I'd want to train a multiview keypoint estimator 2. Kinematic fitting is still missing; this is my next goal. The output will be joint angles, as explored in my previous posts. 3. Missing dense point cloud: VGGT seems to fail for me here. I’m looking to explore using MP‑SFM as a method for generating dense multiview depth maps + normals (plus it has a friendlier license compared to VGGT). 4. Eventually, creation of 4D Gaussian splatting using something akin to DN‑splatter—my long‑term goal is a data engine that provides poses/depths/splats/keypoints/etc.

So how is the Sega Dreamcast's very own native port of Mario Kart 64 coming along? Well, lets take a look at some footage I just captured directly from my DC of jnmartin's latest build! Minor texture corruption is still present on some of the sprites here and there, plus there's no audio yet, BUT MY OH MY! She's running like a dream and looks SHARP as hell at with progressive scan at twice the resolution! You'll immediately notice virtually all of the texture corruption on the text and UI sprites have been fixed. You can now actually see your item box, and clouds are drawn properly in the background, rather than over the top of the scene in the foreground. Somehow, along with fixing all of this in the past few days, jnmartin has also found the time to get the monitors in the backgrounds of Luigi's Raceway and Wario Stadium correctly projecting a view of the scene onto their screens. This somewhat-advanced effect (for the time) was actually done on the N64 (in this game) WITHOUT doing a secondary render-to-texture pass, which requires submitting the scene a second time to the GPU. Instead, the framebuffer was divided into small, tiled chunks (1/6 of its total size), with only a single small chunk getting updated per frame. This way, the amount of direct VRAM access from the CPU (which is typically slow as hell) is kept to a minimum within the duration of a particular frame, with multiple frames being required to update the entire screen. But anyway, she's starting to look and play incredibly well, and those of us with early access to the builds have been thoroughly enjoying revisiting this title on our favorite platform!

$Grok Imagine, right now is in my opinion best and fastest ai video generator for the masses. sure, is not perfect, but Rome wasn't built in a day. Maybe ppl from xai or Elon Musk would look on our posts and suggestions for future improvements. What is a must (for advanced users into ai video generation, been doing this game since 2022) .. 1. for longer movies , we need an option to organize like a project style, and to be able to add main prompts like the niche of the current movie, the character description and to be able to select a custom seed so we can have consistency of the characters. 2. we have now 6 seconds generation ( saw Elon promised 15 seconds soon).. BUT when we generate long movies, we end up with lots of scenes... what grok needs for the same project of the movie, would be a First Frame -Last frame scene interpolation between the scenes (take last frame from scene one, and first frame from scene 2 and generate a mid scene that would merge scene 1 with scene 2 .. and continue for the other scenes (this could be very easy implemented with some python lines of code , like before spitting final video, select all scenes.. extract frames etc etc etc etc.. simple af, when u have all scenes + the interpolation scenes combine evrything with ffmpeg ). 3.. list is long... and i dind't finished my coffee yet, so here is a grok TEXT to video short movie (coz lol u hit the limit for today). Prompts i used for each scene are a little more advanced, so i can see what grok is able to do .. the prompts used are like this (can;t post all due to X limits ) : { "scene_1": { "global_cinematography": "Ultra-realistic Hollywood cyberpunk thriller in the vein of The Matrix (1999) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017), shot on Arri Alexa LF with anamorphic lenses for widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio, 24fps for fluid motion, desaturated palette dominated by cool blues, greens, and high-contrast neon reds piercing perpetual smog-choked night. Consistent VFX pipeline: Procedural green code cascades, photorealistic cybernetic augmentations with subsurface scattering, physics-based rain and particle simulations. Lighting paradigm: Volumetric god rays through haze, practical lens flares from holograms, rim lighting on metallic surfaces for depth.

Grok Imagine, right now is in my opinion best and fastest ai video generator for the masses. sure, is not perfect, but Rome wasn't built in a day. Maybe ppl from xai or Elon Musk would look on our posts and suggestions for future improvements. What is a must (for advanced users into ai video generation, been doing this game since 2022) .. 1. for longer movies , we need an option to organize like a project style, and to be able to add main prompts like the niche of the current movie, the character description and to be able to select a custom seed so we can have consistency of the characters. 2. we have now 6 seconds generation ( saw Elon promised 15 seconds soon).. BUT when we generate long movies, we end up with lots of scenes... what grok needs for the same project of the movie, would be a First Frame -Last frame scene interpolation between the scenes (take last frame from scene one, and first frame from scene 2 and generate a mid scene that would merge scene 1 with scene 2 .. and continue for the other scenes (this could be very easy implemented with some python lines of code , like before spitting final video, select all scenes.. extract frames etc etc etc etc.. simple af, when u have all scenes + the interpolation scenes combine evrything with ffmpeg ). 3.. list is long... and i dind't finished my coffee yet, so here is a grok TEXT to video short movie (coz lol u hit the limit for today). Prompts i used for each scene are a little more advanced, so i can see what grok is able to do .. the prompts used are like this (can;t post all due to X limits ) : { "scene_1": { "global_cinematography": "Ultra-realistic Hollywood cyberpunk thriller in the vein of The Matrix (1999) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017), shot on Arri Alexa LF with anamorphic lenses for widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio, 24fps for fluid motion, desaturated palette dominated by cool blues, greens, and high-contrast neon reds piercing perpetual smog-choked night.

I don't get why everyone is hating on this scene. To me, this scene isn't a problem because what she says at the end is what should really be taken away from the sequence. She says she isn't regretful at all. There's a difference between confessing and accepting one's love and acting on that love. Sure, they both confess their love in ep 28/29, but their convo in their room reveals that while they've overcome one obstacle, they're still struggling with the wall standing between them being intimate. In this scene, what Alya is trying to say is that its ironic Boran's shadow looming over their relationship was cured by his actual presence. That Boran coming back and blaming them, acting all high and mighty helped break down that final barrier between CihAl so that they could be together to act on their love. She doesn't mean they would never have acted on their love, she means they would still be unnecessarily punishing themselves with distance had the zombie not come back. Finally, I think people wouldn’t have had such a problem with this scene had their pillow talk sequence been longer. They brushed over that, which is likely why everyone is so weirded out by this. To me, the best couples are they ones that can talk about the worst of things at the best of times and the best of things at the worst of times. Because they get each other so well, there's zero judgment. That's my two cents, anyway. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

I'm 70 and retiring from my job. This was a hard letter for me to TAP Send. Team, I am happy and deeply proud to share that I am retiring, with my final working day on Friday, May 1, 2026. As I look back on my time here, I can admit I haven’t always been the easiest person to work with. My passion for the job and my attention to details has, at times, made me intense. Yet throughout it all, my supervisors stood by me with patience, strength, and understanding. They have been everything I could have hoped for in leaders, firm when needed, fair in every situation, and always friendly. Their guidance has meant more to me than they know, and I am truly grateful. Being part of this team has been one of the great privileges of my life. I’ve learned, grown, and shared moments, big and small, with people who made each day meaningful. The support, the conversations, the laughter, and even the challenges have shaped my journey, creating memories I will carry with me with pride and gratitude. Thank you all for walking beside me through these years. You’ve each been part of my life story, and I will always remember that. I wish every one of you continued success and fulfillment, and I hope our paths cross again as I begin this next chapter of my life. Sincerely,

My last YouTube channel got taken down without notice or warning with 60k subscribers (following the previous one with 30k subs). It's not the numbers that are important, they were never monetized anyway. What was interesting was the subject matter of the videos that triggered the censorship. I have been censored multiple times for what they call "medical misinformation" but this was different. I was talking about history. I was talking about the links between Philip Schofield, Jimmy Savile, Ian Fleming, Alisteir Crowley and John Dee. WHY would this trigger censorship like this? Well, I touch on these subjects yet again in this chat I had with the guys from TruthStream two days ago by this beautiful lake in the West of Ireland. I may not have all the facts right, but I know I'm on to something and what I'm onto affects ALL of us in this spiritual war. Do your own digging and don't be afraid to speak out. We'll get to the bottom of this together. It has ALWAYS been about the children.

"Hah - generative ai can't even make an image of a hand with the right number of fingers.." "Stop pushing this slop" It's way past the point now where it must be clear to everyone, that generative ai is here to stay AND that the quality will continue to increase. I've been talking about this trajectory for years now, and I've been working towards finding ways to combine the strength of these models, with the best of what I love about "old-school" creation. Building with my hands, moving a pencil across the paper and seeing shapes emerge, moving a building slightly to the right to get just that composition I had in mind. Being fully immersed in a scene I'm building in VR, being inspired by the immersion to take the story in a new direction. For years I've been talking about how powerful the combination of 3d and generative ai is, be it traditional 3d, SDF volumes in Dreams or Gaussian splats - with experiments around using V2V as a "render pass" or with experiments around realtime ai. Enough talk you might think, where's the proof? It's all around us these days honestly and here's a small test I did during some OOO. Blender MPC + Fable - a pretty powerful combination! With a bit of Google Omni Fast on top as a "render" pass. What do you think of where this is heading? Hopeful, disheartened, inspired or the opposite? Can you imagine working with tools like this in a way where we still retain the human "spark" and the creative nerve that makes each persons creation unique?

The Social Network sequel also won’t have David Fincher. His directing style great combo with Sorkin’s dialogue-heavy script. Social Network’s opening scene is perfect example: it’s ~5 minutes and Fincher famously did 99 takes. It shows Zuck getting dumped in a Harvard bar (and with some creative licenses, how that leads to Facebook). Sorkin — who will direct the sequel — talked about how the scene came together: ➡️ "An average screenplay is about 120 pages long. My screenplays have higher page counts because there’s more dialogue and less action. By the rules of screenplay format, dialogue takes up more room on the page and less time on the screen than action (which takes up less room on the page and more time on the screen). "The Social Network" was 178 pages. And the studio said, “OK, the first thing you’ve got to do is figure out a way to cut 30 pages from this.” And David said, “I don’t think so.” […] He came over to my house with his iPhone set on stopwatch mode, and he said, “I want you to read the entire script out loud for me, at the pace you heard it in your head when you were writing it, and I’m going to write down the timing of each scene.” So that opening scene...with Jesse Eisenberg (Zuck) and Rooney Mara. I read it and it was 7 minutes and 22 seconds. In rehearsal, Jesse and Rooney would rehearse the scene, David would say great, and he would give them a couple of notes and always end with, “But this scene is 7 minutes and 22 seconds long, and you’re doing it at 7 minutes and 40 seconds. So I don’t care how, but you’re going to have to talk faster somewhere, because I promise you, this scene plays best at 7 minutes and 22 seconds.” ⬅️ The final cut was quite a bit shorter than 7 minutes and 22 seconds. But one thing stayed consistent throughout the shoot: Fincher told dozens of extras in the bar scene to keep the volume of their chatter high, as they would on any night out. This forced Eisenberg and Mara not only to speak faster. But also louder, increasing the scene’s intensity. IT WORKED REAL WELL!! *** Full interview with Sorkin here:
