It was just ellipsoids. I don’t know if any game specifically used Gaussians. But, the idea of splatting points, Gaussians, ellipsoids and a variety of other shapes has been around for at least 20 years. The novelty of the paper was in usin

The splats are pretty easy to manipulate. At least as easy as triangles. It’s just that there has not been much attention paid to them historically. So, there are no content pipelines yet.

A very old trick for running Lua in your PlayStation 2 game (where the PS2 is a machine with 32MB of RAM and no memory paging) is to hook Lua’s realloc function into the venerable Doug Lea’s Malloc ( https://gee.cs.oswego.edu&#x2F

I switched to the Ian Fast Knot maybe 15 years ago. Took a few minutes to figure out the motion, but then it's easier than a classic knot. Now I just leave my shoes tied and slip them on and off. The knots come loose once a year or two

The view-dependent bit reflects the simplicity of the data. The data is similar to an oriented, stretchy box that you interpret as an oriented, stretchy, fuzzy ball (the Gaussian field). What you do from there is up to you. Classically, re

What’s new in the paper is the technique to generate the gaussians from photos. The output that is used to render uses a technique that is a decade or three old, but not terribly practical until recently. For me, a rendering guy, that’s gre

I would expect transmission of the data to require far more energy than decoding. Even loading the data from local storage should outweigh decoding. Math is cheap, but bits are heavy. Moving them is slow and expensive.

That’s exactly where Lua came from. They had a comfort language that was heading towards Turing complete. So, they took it there intentionally rather than accidentally.

I have a routine where I take 1mg dissolved under the tongue only if and when I’m at the point that I’m almost asleep, but it’s not happening. It’s often enough to nudge me over the edge. If I could conveniently find 0.5mg sublingual pills,

C++ compiler inlining capabilities have had to become magically powerful to keep up with the layers of small functions under every STL container method. Meanwhile, in some applications (games) high performance in debug builds is necessary.
