Thanks faloon for the link. It's the best 'fuid'virtual visit I have seen in recent months. Gaussian Splatting algorythm seems to be the 'game changer' thing in VR we were waiting for.... This is fantastic times in

I may be biaised but I believe this "tour" is not good. Not immersive enough. Just not really something we want as client. - The moving/walking part is just bad. Even Matterport does much better with its technology. - The zo

Pass the "Wahoo" moment, I kind of see the problem with this 3D-modeling-from-a sentence : - You have to take the given 3D model without a possible raffinement on important things like : - the form/geometry, - the texture

I have been to Cludj. Quite beautifull. Next time I travel to Romania, I should really try to go down this mine because it looks amazing... Romania, which has a poor reputation as a touristic country (from France where I live at least) was

Gaussian Spatting is the new sensation of the sumer in the 3D Scanning Field. Will it live to its expectation ?

Yes I agree but the PNG compresion size is so great ! The Textures in total reduce enormously my game file size. By 15 times : so good. And because it is small the web download is VERY quick. Very.... So in a way I loose a bit on decompre

Really ? It does not feel this way on my scene that has more than 90 .png files used for texture. The time to : download the globel zip file + open and reading the points and all textures => 5 to 7 seconds. This is super quick !

And I do not even talk about the GPU work to handle those thousands of triangles. With 300 points, my scene runs quick&fast even on budget Smartphones ! This is an important issues I can tell you. A video game that runs on all devices .

I it is true : I was very agressive on this one. But still, thousands and tousands of triangle feels like so much overweight for me. Specialy for indoor scenes. Quality for the eye is a lot to do with texture, NOT the number of triangle.

I think in today's machine (be it PC, Mac or even Smartphones) the reading-and-transform of a png asset for the GPU is hard coded in the processor : so VERY fast. It works well.

good idea : one why chitty etxture quality, one with average, one with quality texture. They have done this on web-videos. Why not on video games files ?

Chocked at FAT size video games file ? Me too. Giga bytes Damned ! To reduce the size, I decided : 1) To use the standard PNG compression. 2) To limit mesh size at less than 300 points for a scene. - Result : a) File size < 1 mega B

I do believe this kind of quasi-automatic 3D-Realistic-scene-generator is great. But maybe at the end useless. So why you ask me ? - Now while the speed of 3D generating is wonderfull, and the 3D accuracy is "Ok" (but will progre

Yes. This is why it's always nice to keep a budget after the software is released. Morover for version 1.0. To listen, observe and discover the pain points, the surprising routes users make using the software... Then you change the cod

Does it comes from a time startup spent too much time on slides. Product is -we know now- so much more important.
