Find all Macro Gaussian splats on my Patreon profile: www.patreon.com/DanyBittel

I’m excited that Gavriel State has become a Sponsor for my macro Gaussian splats on my Patreon. His support helps me continue creating and improving my splats. Thank you for believing in my work!

Works great for masking splats too.. and doesn't need a colored background either! youtu.be/svrdRAoIlxM?...

Blender 5.3 now supports Gaussian splats, some tests with the Lens Optics plugin found here kaiwanshaban.gumroad.com

Odyssey-3 It can generate interactive environments from a prompt, all in real time. It's a new kind of world simulator, and learns representations of physics, dynamics, and cause-and-effect from a broad dataset of visual observations. Blog: odyssey.systems/meet-odyssey-3

building yet another wind data particle layer for mapbox in webgl and while cranking the parameters up to this point probably isn't very useful, it looks preetty cool

ok now make it a trireme

I put the Bluesky "Unique Likers" chart through a script that interprets it as an audio waveform, check it out!

I used the Marigold AI model, to reduce / remove the highlight on my strawberry dataset. I hoped it would improve transparency.. the results are underwhelming. superspl.at/scene/0713a303

Find a pretty flower, collect it, carry it home, arrange it, mount it, setup studio, lights, camera.. and an hour later, when I want to start the capture process, it looks like this. 😭

I used the algorithm of the paper: Iterative Motion Compensation for Canonical 3D Reconstruction, to compensate the motion in the yarrows.. it somewhat worked, but still need to do some tweaks.

The yarrows has some nice sparks.. almost like snow.. that got lost in the splat.

I guess me and my buddy ChatGPT will be getting into electronics. Targeting ESP32 chip with FluidNC software.. first only the rail, then maybe automate more axis of my setup.

testing astra's parametric modeling capabilities by asking it to reconstruct these marble maze pieces from reference photos, and then use them in threejs to make a marble maze builder with box3d physics.

It moved. 😭 Back to the drawing board.

Update to my setup. I can now shoot my Gaussian splats without rotating the specimen! Perfect for delicate plants.

Filip Mišún has taken my strawberry set and used Noise Guided Splatting to reduce transparency artefacts and the results are very promising! (first PS, second with NGS)
