Happy to present "Lighting in Motion" at #CVPR, trained to predict the HDRI map for image-based lighting from anywhere in an LDR image or video. Used for CGI or to drive @eyelinestudios's Light Dome LED stage with lighting from generated backgrounds. eyeline-labs.github.io/LiMo/

Happy to join @jon_barron in congratulating @BenMildenhall and @_pratul_ for their ACM Grace Hopper Award recognizing Neural Radiance Fields -- NeRF's -- which in 2020 dramatically advanced the process of modeling and rendering 3D scenes from photographs.

Thanks @mikeseymour and @FXGuide for a fun podcast on HDRI lighting and the future of visual effects 🌞💡🎥 fxguide.com/fxpodcasts/paul-… #hdri #visualeffects #scitech

“Lux Post Facto: Learning Portrait Performance Relighting With Conditional Video Diffusion and a Hybrid Dataset” by @myq_1997, @vishalm_patel, @wenqi_xian, @JulienPhilip2, @maleewahaha, @realNingYu, @debfx demos a portrait video relighting method: arxiv.org/abs/2503.14485 (6/14)

Kudos to the research team at our sister company @eyelinestudios. Their latest research paper, 🌊Go-with-the-Flow 🌊, will be presented at #CVPR2025! Based on their research, we believe this could allow artists in the future to leverage these new techniques to direct the motion in generated videos, empowering creative control in a wide range of video applications: cut-and-drag animation, transferring movement between videos, first frame editing, camera control via depth warping, and text-to-video 3D scene creation. Kudos to the amazing team: @RyanBurgert, @Yuancheng_Xu0, @wenqi_xian, Oliver Pilarski, Pascal Clausen, Mingming He, @maleewahaha, @yitong_deng, Lingxiao Li, Mohsen Mousavi, @ryoo_michael, @debfx, @realNingYu, from @eyelinestudios, @Scanline_VFX, @netflix, Stony Brook University, University of Maryland, and @Stanford. ***This is part of the ongoing research and development at @eyelinestudios and we hope to see adoption in these techniques and workflows soon.
