The beginning of the end for 3DGS on Luma?

The Half-Life 2 revamp is cool, but it's incredible that Valve is still upgrading Hammer—my first game engine 15 years ago. 🥹 "Hammer: Increased many limits for BSP data. Models 1024 -> 2048, Brushes 8192 -> 16384, TexInfo 12288 -> 16384..." My old projects might run now!

Glad to report that Luma is processing radiance fields again. Upload -> preprocessing in under six minutes.

Looks like Convex Splatting is the new kid on the block for radiance fields, solving the "softness" problem of 3DGS. What do we call this one? Co-Splat? 3DCS? P.S. the code is out.

Looks like Reality Hack art grant applications are still open, rolling through December. P.S. @mitrealityhack if grant acceptances were to starting going out this week that would be awesome.

Happy New Year! May 2025 be more than you could ever imagine.

Added colmap's 360 camera support to my workflow. The quality boost is massive. #3DGS made with Insta360 Jawset

The camera poses, about 270 equirect frames. Bit of a scramble behind Delicate Arch. #3DGS #gaussiansplatting

More 360 #3DGS

🥹 3DGS + GLTF

This is beyond bonkers. The camera steps OVER the window ledge into the diner. I haven't been impressed by a single video model but this is more than I thought AI was capable of. Can't wait.

Could be an interesting synthetic splat workflow. Someone try it!
