SUNDAE: Spectrally Pruned Gaussian Fields with Neural Compensation
“HaLo-NeRF Learning Geometry-Guided Semantics for Exploring Unconstrained Photo Collections Internet image collections containing photos captured by crowds of photographers show promise for enabling digital exploration of large-scale tourist landmarks.
“Happy to announce the results of our latest research, which takes 3D Gaussian Splatting to the next level: “A Hierarchical 3D Gaussian Representation for Real-Time Rendering of Very Large Datasets,” which has been accepted at #SIGGRAPH2024!🎉 Find it here:
3D Modeling
“🎂 It’s Meshy’s 1st birthday, and we’re celebrating with the launch of Meshy-3! 🎉 🌠 Text to 3D: – High-poly Sculpture Style for next-gen games & movies – PBR Style for material realism & dynamic lighting 🖼️ Image to 3D: – Deliver natural shapes & crisp textures! Plus, enjoy
Robot Training
“Look what our robot built!! Home StreetView FTW. All on the edge device — if it can see it, it can clean it. If it can see it, it can manipulate it…(shh!!). WARNING: This is not a lab demo. It’s a real robot, in a real home, solving real problems! Thanks to our incredible
“We trained a robot dog to balance and walk on top of a yoga ball purely in simulation, and then transfer zero-shot to the real world. No fine-tuning. Just works. I’m excited to announce DrEureka, an LLM agent that writes code to train robot skills in simulation, and writes more https://x.com/DrJimFan/status/1786429467537088741
