Of course, it was a Foundational Black American who revolutionized 3D tech with her groundbreaking work at NASA and developed the Illusion Transmitter, a key innovation that paved the way for modern 3D movies, MRIs, and satellite imaging. Shout out to Valerie Thomas #BlackHistoryMonth

Some of these goofy ass clowns are talking about doing away with BHM like JLP but it's because of things like THIS that we need to keep a foot on their necks because if this was a white woman this would've been the new Erin Brockovich movie. FOH.

I love how we are starting to use our platforms to show our contributions to the world. If you let white america tell it , we didn’t contribute nothing to this wonderful nation. We are the main reason for this nation success. No us No USA.

Here y’all go again claiming people are #FBA without knowing their backgrounds. Little is known about her family history because she never shared those facts.

As a video game developer this is a huge thank you Valerie Thomas.

And people ask why do you always say Black when describing Black excellence. We get erased.

Sally Ride was a brilliant, courageous physicist who paved the way for every woman astronaut. In honor of the anniversary of her first launch, we recognize her legacy and the doors she opened for women in science — and especially at NASA.

At 18 years old, around about 1990/91 and just a few years into learning 3D graphics I worked with a friend, the late Jose Commins to create our first 3D world on the Atari ST. It might seem primitive and crude, but this was a foundational step for me from there to #NoMansSky

About a robot that became a 3D printer! 🖨️ A team of designers in Shanghai developed a groundbreaking 6-axis robotic 3D printer inspired by spiderwebs during a three-week summer workshop at Tongji University. The project sought to merge design and fabrication processes, drawing from spider threads' biomimetic strength and structure. 🕸️ The printer utilizes a unique spindle-knot extrusion technique, enabling self-supporting structures and greater spatial flexibility than traditional layer-based 3D printing. The device features a robot from KUKA and a robotic end-effector with movable printheads, controlled by an Arduino-based system with precise temperature and extrusion controls. Despite being a work in progress, the project exemplifies the potential of combining robotics and 3D printing for advanced manufacturing applications.

Thrilled to share our new work on Reconviagen✨! A key challenge in 3D creation is the alignment of generative 3D with observational input. Our method solves this by grounding the generative process in 3D reconstruction. Try it at: #Reconstruction #AIGC

This a HILARIOUS narrative, before Swerve even won the title he shout out Ron Simmons, Kofi Kingston, and Athena as black world champions who paved the way for it to even be possible for him to win the a world title. He ALWAYS big ups Kofi as a legend

As #BlackHistoryMonth draws to a close, remember that the best way to honour Black history isn’t just by retelling it, but by writing more of it. For those of you leading the way, know that London is with you—today, tomorrow and always.

The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, led by A. Philip Randolph and made up of porters employed by the Pullman Company, was the first Black-led union to secure a contract with a major U.S. company. Fighting low wages and harsh conditions, these men paved the way for labor and civil rights victories that reshaped America. Here’s a look back at one of their triumphant fights—that began in 1934—for better working conditions. #BlackHistoryMonth 🎥: WTTW News, Chicago Stories, 2001

3D editing is hard: you need to ground an image + instruction and generate a faithful 3D shape in one forward pass -- no test-time optimization. So, we steer pretrained image-to-3D representations to do text-guided 3D edits; no massive 3D edit-pair dataset needed. Key trap: the “no-edit” solution is a nasty local minimum. We fix it with preference optimization, pushing the model to actually edit. Steer3D is the second work that adapts alignment ideas from LLMs to the 3D modality. SAM 3D also used DPO to improve its 3D generations.

🚨BLACK HBCU STUDENTS DRINKING ALCOHOL & DANCING TO SEXYY RED AT VICE PRESIDENTS’ RESIDENCE Let me get this straight, yall Black HBCU Students think that, by going to Vice President Kamala Harris’s Residence for an HBCU “House Party” to DRINK BOOZE & ALCOHOL and to STROLL and LISTEN YO SEXYY RED and her DEGENERATE MUSIC is the embodiment of Black Excellence? Clearly those who were featured in this video aren’t Foundational Black Americans, they are of AFRICAN and CARIBBEAN DESCENT. Another point Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t a Foundational Black American. Let’s be clear, Kamala Harris is the DAUGHTER OF IMMIGRANTS. Her mother is INDIAN AMERICAN and on government documents she IDENTIFIES AS “WHITE” and her father is a JAMAICAN AMERICAN. The reality is that when Kamala Harris was running for office she pretended and cosplayed as if she was a Black American, when in fact after she won the election she proudly claimed to be a member of the AAPI Community, next thing you know Kamala Harris and The Democratic Party prograded a false story line claiming that Black Americans were out assaulting Black Americans. Kamala Harris only invited black HBCU Students to PANDER TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY to GET THE BLACK VOTES, because she and The Democrats know Black American are done with them. #KamalaHarris #VPResidence #HBCU #Spelman #Morehouse

✨ Made a new mini feature on Photo AI: [ Grab from 3d model ] So the problem is we're at that stage in time (typical for AI) where image-to-3d models are not good enough but are fun to play with, but we know they'll be good enough in 1-2 years With [ Make 3d model ] you already can turn any Photo AI pic into a 3d model but it still looks hyper clunky and deformed, but it works! One cool idea I had to make that more useful and made now: Let people make a 3d model then change the view of the it with the 3d viewer, then press [ o ] and it grabs a frame of the 3d That image you can then [ Remix ] (img2img), and it becomes a real photo again and that in turn you can then turn into a video again with [ Make video ] So that essentially gives you a fully freeform camera position control to take photos with One thing I need to fix is the background/skybox, I kinda need to take the original photo and remove the person and just get the background for the 3d model viewer, in this case it should be white, but it's a start!

Introducing WorldView 3D, a first-of-its-kind satellite tasking product that delivers up-to-date 3D ground truth anywhere on Earth. From GPS-denied autonomy and intelligence analysis to consumer-grade mapping and disaster response, the world's most important missions increasingly depend on accurate, up-to-date 3D terrain. But for years, keeping 3D maps current at global scale hasn't been possible. WorldView 3D changes that. Built on Vantor’s trusted spatial foundation, our new tasking capability empowers customers to task and receive updated 3D data within 24 hours of image collection. For missions that require greater fidelity, they can also produce high-definition 3D maps anywhere in the world. 3D is the future of spatial intelligence, and Vantor is leading the change. Our trusted spatial foundation already includes 100 million sq km of the world mapped inhighly accurate 3D. Now customers can update the locations that matter most with the speed, scale, and fidelity required for critical missions. Read the full announcement:
