look at this satisfying perfect fit 🤤

@SirWrender and @CorridorDigital diving into tons of GSplat showcases and amazing processes 🔥🔥🔥 I think I even see @OTOY OctaneRender in the mix 👀 Definitely Check it out! youtu.be/X8yRlA7jqEQ?si=hWCy…

Check out our collaboration with Corridor Crew on 4D Gaussian Splatting: youtu.be/X8yRlA7jqEQ?si=exf0… Huge thanks to @SirWrender and the entire @CorridorDigital team for making this happen. It’s easily one of the best explainer videos on Gaussian Splatting we’ve seen. Also check out our website at 4dv.ai. From jazz performances, to the first wedding ever captured in 4D, to a cute little cat, to a REAL rocket launch, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what 4D capture can be and bringing 4D creation to everyone. We believe 4D content is the new, and ultimately the most powerful form of visual media. Unlocking it means solving the entire pipeline end to end. That’s what we’re building at 4DV.ai: a full-stack toolkit for 4D content creation. Beyond the specialized 4D representations for data processing discussed in the video, we’re also building mobile capture systems with PTZ camera rigs, non-linear 4D editing tools, and playback and distribution workflows across the web, Unity, Blender, UE5, Houdini, and other platforms. More to come soon. Stay tuned.

Fantastic explanation of how 3D Gaussian Splats work and why they're awesome: youtube.com/watch?v=X8yRlA7j… Great job @SirWrender 👌

In my opinion it should not even be an argument. Just don’t even talk about if you used a blue screen, a black screen, a green screen. It does not matter. Just talk about how cool the sets and puppets were, how that helped acting and lighting and how well VFX integrated with it.

I'm all for clowning on directors for saying "It was all practical" but this isn't the same thing. Even when I saw the original comment I was like "ok... why are people making this a big deal?" It's just another filmmaking approach. It also means probably a lot of rotoscoping lol

Some clarification here: "no green screen" doesn’t mean "no VFX”. There were, in fact, thousands of VFX shots in the film (2018!) Green screen is sometimes used in lieu of building sets or figuring out locations/lighting in advance, which can be noticeable if not done carefully, and is something we didn’t want to do. We built the entire interior of the Hail Mary ship - but within the ship, there were still wire and puppeteer removals and ceiling replacements, etc. When Ryan is outside on the hull of the ship, we shot him in front of a black background for space and a shifting hue background when he was up against the aurora of a planet which allowed for truer interactive light on him than a green screen would. The wide space exteriors and spaceship shots were entirely digital and beautifully done by ILM. Rocky was a seamless blend of puppetry and animation from Framestore. And other great work from many more. It really does take a village and we had the best of the best on our side.

For the record, this has been planned for a long time, in cooperation with us at Corridor. It's pretty sick!

There's lots of cool (or weird) things you can do with Holograms!

Corridor has already experimented a LOT with #GaussianSplatting youtu.be/ra8JWXEhl4g Check out this film we did from a year ago! Pretty much the entire thing is rendered with splats. The only real footage are the greenscreen elements of people.

Today is my 10 year wedding anniversary and that's really weird to think about

Looks familiar lol...... youtu.be/9gXPc8Gf6Ig?si=-QYa…

Does anyone know if it's possible for Minecraft to support higher bit seeds than just 64 bit? How fundamental is that number as a limit? Also yes I'm doing the True Scale of Minecraft lol

Some of you don't know the true scale of 18 quintillion and it really shows.

Minecraft question: Exactly how wide is The Nether? It compresses Overworld space 8:1, but does that mean the Nether is 1/8th the size? Or is it the SAME size as the overworld, as search results are telling me? That'd be weird right?
