Mod Opti Gaussian Splats

Hi.

This is not an ad.

I have not used Mod Opti. I do not know how to use Unity nor Unreal.

This IS an example of sharing info quickly about good ideas and products made by good people.

I met Tim and his wife online during the pandemic. They have been doing interesting stuff, and without looking it up, I think they did something for Queen, the band. Their company is called ModTechlabs. An hour ago I invited Tim to maith and we were catching up and here we are.

Mod Opti is their software, and it makes Gaussian Splats.

My definition of Gaussian Splats: GS are like realistic 3D photos that can be used by virtual filmmakers and 3D model makers. Gaussian splats can be a small as clocks or as large as caverns. My interest in them is futuristic; I hope someday to use Gaussian Splats in AR. For example, make a GS of Elvis’ s Jungle Room and put it in the Super Bowl. OK, that’’s not a great example, maybe, but I just woke up and want to send this out.

Google’s answer when I asked “Why are Gaussian Splats important?”

Superior real-time performance: The volumetric, point cloud-based nature of 3D Gaussian Splats make them easier to render in real-time compared to polygon-based meshes. 3D Gaussian Splat outputs are also more compact than NeRFs, which enables performant real-time applications on the web and even on-device.Aug 27, 2024

So there you go.

Dell, Nvidia and ModTechLabs are Shaping Future Cinema.This explains a lot.

Tim demonstrating Mod Opti: a textbook perfect example of a how to video.

That’s it for today.

Please let me know what you think of maith.

If you don’t like something, tell me. If you like, it tell others.

Seriously, I really want to do this, but need sponsors or ads. That means I need subscribers. If I advertise that means more people coming in perhaps, but dilutes the sense of community, maybe.

Right now almost all 50 of you are people whom I have invited personally. I like that. Thank you for being here.

But yeah, in the future I would also like to be able to have a vast media global empire and write books and do my art stuff and send mankind into space with robots and everything green and organic and peaceful and save the whales.

onwARd,

Steve
