Image created with gemini-2.5-flash-image with claude-sonnet-4-5. Image prompt: Top-down isometric pixel art of a film studio backlot in PS1 GTA style, chunky sprite cameras on rails moving between soundstages and sets, video frames flowing on conveyor belts, tiny director sprites coordinating production, saturated neon blues and hot pinks against dark concrete, dithered textures, high contrast CRT glow, 32-bit aesthetic with visible pixels

It’s really cool to see “legacy” players in geospatial like ESRI adopt 3D gaussian splatting in ArcGIS. Radiance fields are v. complementary to point clouds and textured 3D meshes — exceedingly human readable and much closer to reality than anything else.”” https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/2012954912766746958
Mixing 3d models with real world scans (made w/ 3d gaussian splatting) is a powerful combination. And when you do it all inside an unbiased, physically accurate 3d rendered like Octane – the fidelity is truly next level.”” https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/2013677348474769615
This is some quietly impressive work on making video world models actually controllable in 4D space. VerseCrafter lets you take an input image, use something like Blender to animate the 3D camera path and object trajectories, then uses that to condition generation.
