Woah Have I just stumbled into a SEVERELY underrated channel? Yes I think I have!!!

[@JarrenRocks]

Thanks Howard! 2021 is gonna be a lot of fun :)

[@negasilver63x]

Great video!

[@jean-baptistesauret6374]

Thank you for introducing this topic. I follow this technology as a 360 vr designer. That is amazing!

[@JarrenRocks]

I'm glad it was worthwhile! I'll be digging into it more in the future as well, I really love it.

[@kryosa]

Great video! Just started experimenting with Apple lidar scans as well. Really fun and loving the capture speed & quality. Brings a new way to photograph cities & landscapes.

[@JarrenRocks]

Agreed! I should make a follow-up to this video showing off the iPhone’s LiDAR capabilities.

[@MattScottVisuals]

Legend mate, thank you!

[@zaccrane2885]

This is awesome Jarren!

[@JarrenRocks]

Zac Crane thanks! I already have ideas for episode 2, so this series will be a lot of fun, and I'm going to explore point cloud mapping more in the future too!

[@DuncanSmith]

This is so sick, thanks for breaking this down

[@JarrenRocks]

Happy to help!

[@seanrimada8571]

Hey man I really enjoyed your enthusiasms as you talked about this very deep topic. Thank you!

[@thomasduthie]

Such a great introduction and thank you for clearly representing the artists! Love it 🙌🏼

[@JarrenRocks]

Much appreciated!

[@พัณณ์ชิตาชุ่มแจ่ม]

Point cloud can scan so real and make in AE is interesting.

[@andrecalatre]

Great work man! Found your videos and it’s really top quality and informative, hope KZbin algorithm really gives a push on this eventually! As per this specific one, made me have a little mental breakthrough when you spoke about the evolution of film and photography: back in my physics degree we spoke about and played a bit with pure optical holograms. It’s a hard, expensive and limited process and having everyday consumers taking “holographs” instead of “photographs” seems decades away still. However I guess this technique means we will just ditch the analogic holograms (they will stay within the scientific/industrial contexts) and with the democratization of AR/VR and improvement of mobile technology like that of your iPhone we will be probably sending digital “holoselfies” within the next decade. Sounds exciting!

[@JarrenRocks]

Thanks for the compliment! I think 2021 will be a great year! Yes I think you're absolutely right. 99.9% of holograms in the next few decades will likely be mapped 3D models overlaid with AR glasses. It can be confusing sometimes because we assume the current way of doing things _must_ be the path towards innovation, and we're blindsided when innovation appears out of left field, from a different path, but brings around a similar result (see gas cars and electric cars overtaking the industry).

Hi Jarren, i'm curious to know if point clouds can only be applied specifically with photogrammetry or if i can export a 3d obj from zbrush or something like it and them work with point cloud from that. Im asking this because i wanted to create a environment from scratch and be able to make those fine effects. Thank you for the video!

[@JarrenRocks]

Hi Diego, that's a great question! There are definitely ways to do it ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Tbg4trqpZpgdU ), though I'm not sure exactly what the workflow would look like for your use-case. That sounds like a great idea. Good luck!

[@deletrious]

I wish there was an episode 2 of this

[@JarrenRocks]

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Especially because since this video came out SO much has changed. It’s on my list.

[@JavierLadino22]

What is the name of the app you used for the selfscan?

[@JarrenRocks]

I don’t remember exactly what I used back then,but the one that I use right now is called SiteScape

[@fireemblem2770]

Do you know a lot about NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards? I used to be super interested in workstation computers, specifically the software side of things (still am!), and Quadros are the best when it comes to rendering polygons, so I wonder if a powerful GPU like this could do a good job with the depth rendering you talked about. Do more intelligent software videos! This and the video where you showed what you were doing in Ableton were awesome.

[@JarrenRocks]

Wrote a long reply that got deleted... I know a little about the cards, but I don't focus there often, mostly stick to my iMac with Radeon Pro 580 8GB. Point cloud content like I showed here is rendered live in unity, I think my computer could handle smaller environments without any problems. And thanks, I prefer these sorts of videos, ones that really make you think & brainstorm, and show behind the scenes of a process!

[@fireemblem2770]

@@JarrenRocks That's so cool. So it's an advanced rendering technology of the future that can be handled decently on higher end consumer computers!! Thanks to you Jarren I NEVER would have learned about this! Thanks for continuing to provide amazing content, I love it!

[@JarrenRocks]

FireEmblem27 Check out this tweet where one of the artists talks about a new render on their new computer, might provide more info! twitter.com/benjaminbardou/status/1234618678634827777?s=21

2:40 unfortunately KZbin does not like little particles to move around a lot? 4:00 pointcloud apps

[@JarrenRocks]

Just seeing this comment now sorry! Particles are due to compression, Tom Scott has a great video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGe1oWCrpJt7o6s Pointcloud apps, hmm Today I'd recommend Sitescape, that's the best one (especially if you have an iPhone 12pro or 13 pro (because they have build in LIDAR now).

[@bookahol]

Could you recommend a software to translate the polygon mesh to a dot pointcloud?

[@JarrenRocks]

Sorry, off the top of my head I don't have an answer for you. I'm sure there's something on github, or a few google searches away!
