THIS IS WAYYY TOO INTERESTING TO MISS OUT. And Faraz casually being confidently wrong in 1980 being 33 years ago (when it's actually 43) is another highlight.

[@tribaltheadventurer]

1980 is 43 years ago not 33, good video as usual guys

Imagine how cool it could be with 4DGaussians? It is a recent paper about gaussian splats, but with motion. Yes, you can recreate 3d dynamic scenes from videos with this technique!

[@pva5142]

yea code is already out!

[@irfanadamm5819]

so CGI will look more realistic now?

[@pva5142]

@@irfanadamm5819 its basically better for filmmakers in post. once the fidelity gets really good, you’re eliminating a lot of the DP’s job outside of lighting. If you’re able to change the focal length, camera movement and composition in post

[@badxstudio]

We saw the paper... and we are going to try it for sure, we just have 2 more experiments with 3DGS, VR and Video Games

[@MrGhostfaceLives]

@@pva5142 Why would they even want to do that? It's completely inorganic to do that, and the "fix it in post" mentality is gradually being forced out, thankfully. Also "outside of lighting"... so only the most important element of the job.

I wish It was "just" 33 years ago :-D I born in 1981, so I wouldn't mind 10y shaved off :-D

This is awfully like lucid dreams if you've had them. Very similar restrictions, like you can't go beyond a certain point where it becomes like an invisible border of less details or something obstructing your view

[@badxstudio]

Wait really?? We’ve never had a lucid dream unfortunately. Is that truly how it feels?

I’ve never had a Lucid dream that had a barrier. Usually I can go wherever I like

Loads of Jerry Bruckheimer films you could have used.

[@DJ-Illuminate]

Imagine taking one of those KZbin videos where someone filmed san fran or LA in 1920 and with the forward motion create a 3D splat or 4D splat. Somehow the forward video would have to be interpreted as side view for at least 180 view.

video games will be a lot easier since: no lens distortion, no lens blur, no motion blur, no lens aberrations, more FPS... basically just easier to do structure from motion on video game footage in almost every way, except for the HUD which would need to be removed.

[@badxstudio]

We are testing that too! Exactly it’s gonna be much simpler! Thinking about cyberpunk maybe for the test! Any recommendations?

[@Uhfgood]

What's kind of cool, is even though AI is used to generate these, you can use some other AI to replace the missing "footage" -- for instance trees and mountain behind. (Sure it wouldn't necessarily be exactly what's actually behind the hotel, but it could generate lost information to give you a reasonable facsimile of what might haave been behind it

[@badxstudio]

We were talking about it after watching Adobe Max, it would be dope to try the video in painting feature. This is definitely something that eventually will be part of the process.

[@Because_Reasons]

Very clever idea guys. Love your videos.

[@badxstudio]

Thanks brother 😎🫡

[@caliberpokwana8872]

Too sophisticated and inspirational at the same time

[@badxstudio]

Thank you brother glad u liked it!

[@joelface]

Thanks for trying out movies. I was so excited to see how that would turn out. It's a little trickier than I thought it would be, even with some pretty perfect scenes (limited movement within the scene and rotating camera). Video games into VR is a great next idea, since a rotating camera is as simple as moving the right joystick in most cases. I'd also like to see if you can figure out how to edit the capture, delete unnecessary artifacts, etc. Is that possible?

[@badxstudio]

In our UE video, we showed how you can crop these scenes but we still don't have a precision tool for deleting each ellipsoid in UE (devs have already made it for Unit)

[@mystica-subs]

The weirdness you get from trinity in the matrix is framerate/telecine conversion errors. A properly inverse-telecine'd dvd or non-rate-adjusted 23.976 bluray source would be the ideal source for this shot.

[@hamidvisuals]

Fantastic stuff, I had no clue about this technology until I came across your channel guys. Parcham Balast

[@badxstudio]

Love you dadash!

[@coisasnatv]

Try to do that with Badge Man photo at grassy knoll.

[@shilze1]

I think static and long views of fully CG scenes are probably the best bets of getting anything out of this. Which is at least interesting for the idea that you could then take old somewhat subpar CG shots and recreate the scenes with the same camera movement. At least until it's possible to account for the moving elements completely. Video games are cool and all as a use case but most of them are already 3d and can have their assets ripped, so the only real use case with that is putting funny things inside the scenes.

[@Anttisinstrumentals]

First thought in my head. I think NEO bullet scene was the second thing I tried after I installed the software. Did not come out so well either. Gaussian Splatting can be used from now on for scenes like this for better effect.

[@randfur]

In the Trinity shot did you notice the doubling was gone? Also it was squashed, it's like the 3D point cloud stage undid the doubling by squashing them together causing the whole scene to get squashed horizontally.

[@badxstudio]

Yeah we realized that too but in general it made it difficult for the algorithm to arrange the point clouds.

[@S41L0R]

I love this.

[@midasredblade236]

yeah, it'll be a decade till this is USEFULL

[@thronosstudios]

Imagine this thing being able to record every frame properly (instead of a few) and you could literally pause in any of them and look at them from any angle without losing detail. If anything, they should be able to fill in the blanks with AI

[@badxstudio]

Yeah that's the thought! We like to believe that very soon AI will b able to help in generating the missing detail and create a complex scene that looks stunning!

[@larswillsen]

Did he say the Shining helicopter scene was shot 20 years ago? .. Ir's actually almost 50 years ago (approx. 43 - 45) .. :-)

[@tekanobob]

dude 1980 - 2023 = 43 years ago

[@DJ-Illuminate]

If I were going to have a talk with host and guest I assume I would do a 360 of them in their chairs first before a 2D video interview was started in order to create a 4D splat of the 2D video? How would you do this?

[@BrentLeVasseur]

That shot from the Shining is taken at the top of Mt. Hood ski resort in Oregon. There is a glacier there where you can ski even in the summer time. When I skied there, I instantly recognized the lodge as the one used in all the exterior shots in the Shining.

[@badxstudio]

Oh that is so cool to hear!! How was the ski experience there tho?

[@BrentLeVasseur]

@@badxstudioI trained there with the Swedish and Korean national teams during the summer of 1991. Glacier skiing in the summer isn’t the best when compared to normal winter powder skiing, but its good for training on the off season.

Lol for that first shot you have yo undo the anamorphic squeeze or it looks funny

[@MogulSuccess]

Here's my pitch New Industry - Virtual Reality Movies | See "Ready Player One" Allow people to interact with old movies Mode A. Casual observers walking around the scene Mode B. "Karaoke Mode" - Protagonist say lines on cue and be in the scenes on cue - "a la" Just Dance Scoring points Mode C. Party Mode - friends play supporting characters Mode D. Multiverse Mode - GTA worlds of the entire movie available to explore RPG style where user can randomly switch Modes A - C

[@badxstudio]

yep! stayed there. stayed in room 217 even. =) hiked the mountains around it, swam naked in the pool at 2am, walked the stairs, listened to ghost stories, had an AMAZING time. also... turns out the stairs in the Stanley are ALSO where they shot the scene in Dumb and Dumber where the boys are fighting trying to get to the top. @@badxstudio

[@DejayClayton]

I wonder how good these results would be if you exactly mirrored the actual video camera path and tracking, and then created 3d models from the point-in-time gaussian splat viewpoints that intersect across all frames.

[@badxstudio]

That is a cool idea in theory! we will have to test that to see if it will actually work tho!

[@DejayClayton]

@@badxstudio keep me updated!

3:42 now consider the next leap forward where it will intelligently create all the parts we never had a camera record.

[@badxstudio]

Yes exactly!!

[@zamadatix]

12:35 isn't "tricks" for motion blur, you've just got a what looks like a telecined copy and your player isn't set to detelecine hence the resulting combing effect being present on only certain frames. If you pull a direct copy from the Blu-Ray (or find a better uploaded copy) it won't have this artifacting.

[@d0rk4ge]

@zamadatix you nailed it. This looks exactly like 3:2 telecine

[@changgou8339]

there is a scene from sherlock holmes. where Watson is getting married. everything is frozen and it was shot from different angles. you can probably make a good 3d scene out of it.

[@badxstudio]

The movie or TV Series? tell us exactly which one and we are going to do it haha

[@alvydasjokubauskas2587]

Ok guys I am convinced I am also going to do this stuff, hopefully I will write a worthy research paper about Gaussian Splatting.

[@badxstudio]

Go for it mate.. you won't regret it

[@TheFachen]

this technique would be great for an overhead ring of cameras or partial ring of cameras synchronized similar to the matrix shots - not to take the single output video from per se as you did, but for the filmmakers being able to relight the scene in post

[@BeachcomberFilms]

You guys beat me to it!!! I'm wondering how Gaussian Splatting would go with stereoscopic side by side video at full frame.

[@_itsjustm3_]

Now .. thats explains everything from the movie "Deja Vu" :D

[@michaelpiper8198]

if you saw the adobe sneak peak you know what you must do next right? break the videos down into images and use the new feature to create the data that would be behind objects so when you put the images back together you will have multiple videos that would each be used to complement any data not present in one that is present in the other. think its called a clean plate? (idk). Actually check out the sneak peak cause there are more things you could do with it.

[@felixgeen6543]

You guys even explained yourselves why the Batman shot doesnt work: its zooming. changing focal lengths are not supported by COLMAP. You would need to solve the variable focal length in a software like Syntheyes and remove the focal length by scaling the image down inside the frame as the footage zooms in. this would also require you to remove the variable lens distortion present in most zoom lenses. its a complex thing to do.

[@badxstudio]

Yessir!! U got that right 🙏🫡

[@DJ-Illuminate]

The Neo shot works but you need like a splat editor to remove the artifacts.

[@ZipZapTesla]

This will open a new realm of shitposts

[@red4666]

can the gsplats cast and/or receive shadows? like if you put a cube in the middle of the table in that one scene and cast a light, will the table receive a shadow?
