It wouldn't be Mars without some swirling dust storms 🌀🌀🌀 I'm using GPGPU particles & sampling the heightmap, so the points move along the surface of the terrain, the car bounding sphere car perturbs the particles, based on the car velocity #threejs #webgl #glsl

What if a Transformer could render? Not text → image. But mesh → image — with global illumination. No rasterizers. No ray-tracers. Just a Transformer without per-scene training. RenderFormer does exactly that. #SIGGRAPH2025 🔗microsoft.github.io/renderformer

Loving some of the data images generated by SOGS compression for Gaussian Splats that I'm using with PlayCanvas - they look like art pieces in themselves. This one is titled "Quaternions" #WebGPU #PlayCanvasEngine #SOGS #GaussianSplatting

Will we soon see 3D Gaussian Splat-based video games? @PlayCanvas now lets you: ⚛️ Use physics in splat-based scenes ☀️ Cast shadows onto splats 💡 Dynamically relight splats Link to browser demo is 👇

"MILo: Mesh-In-the-Loop Gaussian Splatting for Detailed and Efficient Surface Reconstruction" TL;DR: differentiably extract a mesh including both vertex locations and connectivity only from Gaussian parameters. Gradient flow from the mesh to GS

Testing animating a gaussian splat with a vertex animation texture. The splat was taken into Houdini, converted to a grid of control points + animated with a soft body sim. I'm using these control points to move the gaussian positions over time. Rendered in PlayCanvas #webgpu

Select your cell: I'm prototyping an interactive sc RNA-seq portal where the UMAP is dynamically linked to morphing 3D artistic renders of each cell type. You can play with the initial build below.

A little scan of this amazing mechanical butterfly artwork at Naia Museum superspl.at/view?id=998748… Not bad for a phone camera in low-light. Scanned with Scaniverse. #3DGS #GaussianSplat
