Gaussian Splatting! The next big thing in 3D!

[@IRWBRW964]

3D Gaussian Splatting is actually not a NeRF technology as there is no neural network, but the splats are directly optimized through rasterization rather than the ray tracing like method of NeRFs.

[@OlliHuttunen78]

My thoughts exactly. Many things are changing very fast now. Although this does not yet create anything from scratch and for these Nerf you still need something existing, from which things are transformed into 3D by taking the pictures from real world. Traditional modeling still certainly has its place in when creating something new.

If scanning software is actually capturing and rendering details as fine as leaves of plants, without all of the artifacts, then that is absolutely mind-blowing.

[@JimmyNuisance]

I fell in love with splat engines when I spent time in Dreams on the PSVR. It's fantastic for creatives, it makes it very easy to make new and unseen surfaces.

[@kazioo2]

That renderer went through so many changes and iterations (also after they made public explanations) I'm not really sure how much of typical splatting is still used there. There are many conflicting informations about it.

[@4Gehe2]

Ok I did a quick reading of the paper. This is a clever thing however what should be kept in mind is that it doesn't preserve details so much as makes them up. (The explaning bit is in the chapters 5.1, 5.2, and fig. 2, 3, 4 of the paper). Basically you reconstruct the environment not by analysis but by statistically informed guesses. After which you then do analysis on whether the guess was too big or small. Then you refrence the solution to the original data to see how close you were with your guesses. If the guess was too small you duplicate it near the point; if the guess was too great you divide it in to two. Meaning that if you need to estimate a curve, instead of trying actually solve the curve you keep guessing the shape of the curve, but because of the process of duplication and division of the guesses you basically approach faster to the solution. However it is important to keep in mind that you don't actually get THE SOLUTION, you get approximation of the solution based of guesses. Basically this is the way you can do square roots and cube roots in your head to 2-3 decimals, by estimating upper and lower and iterating that (for those that don't know: if you want to estimate square root of 6, you can in your had calculate that 2x2 is 4 3x3 is 9, so the solution is between those; then you can do 2,5x2,5 you get 6,25 which is more, so you know that solution needs to be less than that so 2,25x2,25 you get 5,0625... so on and so forth. You will never practically get the solution of 2,2449489743 because we only go to 3 decimals but lets be honest 0,04% error is more than enough. To simplify a bit: Imagine you are sculpting with clay and want to replicate a shape. You can only add or remove instead of shaping it with your hands. If you have too much material you cut away hald of the amount of you know to be too much. If you added too little clay, you add another same sized lump. And you keep repeating this untily you get close enough approximation of the thing you are replicating. What is important to keep in mind is the limitations of this. You can't replicate things accurately for the simple reason that if you lack information on details you can't just guess them! Your data resolution doesn't increase. You only actually know the datapoints that you gathered. So for historical, scientific or engineering purposes you have will not be able to get any extra information (And I hope that people realise this, before they try to use details from this in a court of law or something), you really can't know anything more from this than you can get from just looking at the frames as pictures.

@@catsnorkel i know what you mean gpus are designed for polygons and engines have very specific mechanisms for it, but i don't think it would take too much modify existing software to make use of GPU effeciently for this technology. They both use techniques hardware is capable of so if invested in i don't think it would take Unity or Unreal much more time to integrate the tech into their engines compared with poly based rendering pipelines. Since it uses a scattering field type rendering it shouldn't be much different

@@Eddygeek18Thing is, this technique does not support dynamic lighting, and isn't even built in a way that could be modified to support it.

If you mean traditional 3D-modelling for gaming/movies or 3D-printing then no at least not for the foreseeable future, because this technique doesn't produce mesh models, which is a requirement in games and movies for dynamical lightning, animation, surfacing, interactivity etc. And it also requires you to have the object you want in real life to work with.

Just imagine a machine that can generate point clouds around itself at a rate of 60 per second, and a technique like this that can render that point cloud at the same 60 per second rate. Truly 3D video. Would be amazing.

[@endrevarga5111]

Idea! 1. Make a low-poly 3D scene in Blender. It's a 3D skeleton. Use colors as object IDs. 2. Using real-time fast OpenGL engine, quick-render some hundred images, placing the camera to different locations like photographing a real scene for the 3DGS creation. The distribution of the camera should be easy using Geometry Nodes. 3. Using these images, use Runway-ML or ControlNet etc. to re-skin them according to a prompt. If possible, use one image to ensure consistency. 4. Give the re-skinned images to the 3DGS creation process to create a 3DGS image for the scene. Et voilà, a 3D AI-generated virtual reality is converted to 3DGS.

[@MaxSMoke777]

It's a cute way to make use of point clouds. I'm certain it'll be handy for MRI's and CT scans, but it's nowhere near as useful as an actual 3D model. You couldn't use it for video game models or 3D printing. It could be extremely useful for real-time, point-cloud, video conferencing, since it's so fast.

[@catsnorkel]

agreed. it will probably find a few niche use cases for certain effects that are layered on top of a traditional poly-based render pipeline, but it's not going to completely take over, probably ever. This is a technology developed for visualisation, and not really suitable for games or film.

[@perspectivex]

Although there are undoubtedly many people using this for assets in games or for walk throughs or whatever, and that's great for them, but there's some non-small fraction of people seeing this and thinking they could make 3d printable models with this technique with fewer photos than plain old photogrammetry. So far I've never seen a clean mesh coming from NeRF technique unless it's also from as many photos as you'd need for photogrammetry. For example, a friend just was using lumalabs NeRF app to model a sculpture and it had him take something like 70 photos while moving around the object, telling him where to shoot from and if the photo was bad. He was very disappointed since it was nothing like the hype that makes you think you can make models (actual models, the mesh, not just a visual) just sort of waving your phone around an object while it records video. Which is all to say...this video should show the underlying resultant meshes without the texture mapping on top so people aren't fooled into thinking the mesh will look anywhere near as good as the visuals seen here. Or, maybe I'm wrong, and the meshes of the models made in this video are highly detailed and accurate and made from just a few quick passes around the object while taking video...but I doubt it.

[@OlliHuttunen78]

Hi! Well these NeRF models are volume models at first place and this Gaussian Splatting thing is just another visual trick to make them look even more accurate in 3D. But they should not be confused to 3D mesh models. Although Radiance field is possible convert to surface model form, but it is not same anymore after conversion. It will loose all these transparent and reflective qualities after conversion and mesh models made out from it looks often very poor and bad quality. These are two different techniques to represent 3D models. NeRF are not surface models that you can 3D print. NeRF's are volume models.

[@perspectivex]

@@OlliHuttunen78 Thanks for the reply. I think that's not that clear in almost every NeRF-related video I've seen and it'd be nice if people made more of an effort to dispel any idea that it's a new, easy way to make high quality meshes from real-world objects.

My bet is that soon we will see a legislative trend to compulsory disclosure of the origin of an image or a video when publishing, the first for the mass media and later on for any publications, including social media for the general public. Nevertheless, in a few years from now, I expect to see new video games that will make the games made with Unreal Engine 5 look as unrealistic as idk, Doom 2.
