Thank you

You will need a Nvidia GPU. Splats uses VRAM so the higher the better.

hcm pro figure is REALLY BAD! Do not buy that.. My figure broke when I opened it . The rubber arms were already melting.

Thank you

Thank you!

This was 3 drone passes. Dataset was not that large and coverage was not great cuz it was just a flyby for a client and not for scanning. Just tested this for fun.

Thanks! The scan dataset was courtesy of James Busby of 3d Scan Store. I processed the images and realigned the cameras in Metashape Pro. I trained the 3d gaussian splatting, cleaning, plus the animation in Postshot beta. Testing if photogrammetry data set would work for 3d gaussian splatting. A bit of a challenge dud to various things.

@@DaveDFX Wow. Interesting workflow. I guess you learned alot on your way. I think some people out there would love to see some tutorials on your technique :)

I have some years of VFX Photogrammetry experience. Splatting is a new way to process the datasets and the fidelity has great potentials. I am currently working on some tutorial on how to get started with Reality Capture and Postshot.

@@DaveDFX looking forward to it! :)

Postshot mainly for now since it's still beta. Other apps support for splats is not that solid yet. Blender plugin is not good. UE and Unity have better plugins. My use cases are for visualizations, advertising, and visual effects. I will combine Photogrammetry with splats for my projects.

This initialize faster cleaner with less floaters in Postshot (beta). Also I can get a fast visualization ( takes like a minute only ) so i can save out a PLY and do a camera previz while the project is training. In the past, I have to wait hours for large environments to get a good preview. Eventually the splats prunes depending on the spat density settings. Newer beta is much faster and use less VRAM.

Good point​, I seemed to have been a bit salty haha@@DaveDFX

Salty is good. Better than sour haha.. it's all good.. there's a lot of experimentation and the software is evolving fast. Join the Postshot Discord if you are interested in Photogrammetry and 3d Splatting.

In Reality Capture or Metashape. I'll make a tutorial on that.

@@DaveDFX yes please my lord 😀😀

Yes, It's uses are endless and Splatting will be a new industry standard soon. I made a few passes at various levels and more focused on the areas of interests. No 360 here. Splatting needs more data than photogrammetry in general so I shoot mostly videos.

Dataset: openheritage3d.org/project.php?id=9sz5-sj52

Yeah. In general but scammers for some items are raising prices to be slightly cheaper than retail. Also watch out for buyer's review with suspicious names. Can't believe Lazada did not take down the scam seller. KKBOY is the shop. Avoid and report.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!

This one is around 3.5 Gb with no clean ups.

Reality Capture and Metashape Pro for photogrammetry. Postshot , Nerfstudio for splats.

This is Scaniverse app for ios

@@DaveDFX Thanks

As of now, it's only point cloud. There are open source research to mesh splats. github.com/francescofugazzi/3dgsconverter . github.com/Anttwo/SuGaR . If i need mesh, I would usually use the photogrammetry for now.

Yes . Dense is just faster and uses more memory. Both sides will self prune eventually depending on splat settings. I use this for quick preciz.floaters here cuz the data set was not that good in coverage.

Thanks! Gaussian Splatting is similar to photogrammetry but you need more coverage. You can now use Reality Capture and export the camera alignments and point cloud to PostShot. It's still beta and a bit buggy. Check out the website

Thank you! Cheers!

Suno.ai is awesome. And thanks! Cool to learn some CG and dance!

@@DaveDFX LOL, that's genious 🤣🤣

KZfaq some Photogrammetry tutorial like this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5eXqNCWmJvLdZ8.htmlsi=oMS_yWrICdtrPwgg The idea is to get a lot of good coverage in good lighting. 3D Splats needs more coverage than Photogrammetry though but the idea of coverage is nearly identical.

Thank you. Stay tuned for more

@@DaveDFX sure will!

Software I use are Metashape Pro, Reality Capture, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Lightroom, Postshot. A few asked for tutorial so I will make time to produce one. I have a quick tutorial in my shorts for iPhone 3D Gaussian Splatting.

Thank you. I took 3 videos flying around the site. Usually have only a short amount of time to fly time before we go to next location. Coverage is key to 3DGS. more the better vs photogrammetry. Planning to do some tutorials if people are interested.

@@DaveDFX thanks for the responce. And if you do some tutorials that would be amazing, i'm still figuring out how to get this level of detail. Big fan of your work here!!

I'm debugging problems with Reality Capture and Postshot at the moment. Having tons of errors and crashes and i'm gonna have to address this before making the tutorials. 5 days debugging.

​​@@DaveDFXthats sad to read 😔, I hope you can fix that with no mayor problems

@@DaveDFX please it looks really good

152 Photos, around 40k iterations.

@@DaveDFXdo you think 360 photos could be good for great 3DGS results? And what software did you use for this one? Love the result by the way!

360 cameras is great for environment work. Fast to capture. I have insta 360 X3. A bit on the lower resolution side for me though. Used Insta 360 RS One inch too. Most people render out rectilinear views and then do the camera alignments. We are waiting for a native solution for importing 360 footage. Reality capture and Metashape can process 360 but we cannot get that into postshot at the moment. Personally I am favoring a mirrorless with Sigma 180 Fisheye but thats out of reach for most people.

Insta 360 flow gimbal can be used with iphone for high resolution 360. Have a look. Only issue is that it takes about 1 minute per panorama. It shoots around 19 photos and stitch them together.

@@DaveDFX cool, didn’t know about the sigma fish eye. I recently bought a Sony a7 rv. Maybe an investment in the future if it proves to be useful. I will keep an eye on 360 and Gaussian splatting. I hope to bring this on top of a DJI drone. Currently I have a mini 3 pro.

Thank you ! I'm working on larger scenes now. Stay tuned!

I forgot to mention this was matchmoved using iphone 14 Pro Max and exported to Blender. I should do a tutorial on this to be clear.

Oh thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :) The lyrics are from the white papers of the 3D Gaussian Developers :) Made it into a Waltz hehe.

I used all of them but for local PC 3DGS, I use Postshot, Nerfstudio

@@DaveDFX And which is the best for you Sir😁

All of them have it's pros and cons. Just try them out and see what's best. Local training needs a powerful CPU and GPU. Luma and other web services you upload and they process for you. Phone apps are convienient but lacks the optics of real cameras.

PD: Nice work, it looks amazing.

Thanks you. Have a look at my other videos. Still discovering new stuff every day.

I used image sequence from a video. For 3d gaussian splatting, more coverage, the better.

@@DaveDFX thanks, your channel is amazing too!!!

Yes drone footage.

Traffic is around. You will get artifacts or ghosting for those areas. You need to paint out the objects or mask if you don't want to see them because the gradient descent algorithm uses the source images to train and get the ground truth. Or you can fix it later by "patching" from another area.

Soon we can paint out or inpaint those areas.. Stay tuned .

Hahah . KZfaq knows us. Hope you enjoy the videos :)

I used default and max image resolution for this one

@DaveDFX wow, incredible. It looks amazing!

Thanks Aero3D !

Yea, I thought it would be fun to make a song from the Gaussian Splatting paper :)

If people wanna see how it's done, I can make a tutorial. Right now i'm processing more splats to be tested for a project.

@@DaveDFX absolutely, tutorial would be amazing to see

Yes would love a tutorial ​@@DaveDFX

I have not seen that paper on combining photogrammetry and gaussian splats but that idea was already in my mind. Right now not too many software can import splats and display them properly. Unity is probably the best (and free) solution for viewing as of today.

@@DaveDFX Thanks but I meant the Software for the calculation process. Btw I found the paper I talked about, it is called gaussian frosting, might be interesting for you as well

I will have a look at that ! Thanks!

Well every model needs a dataset...

Well if someone pays me to scan that, why not? haha

@@DaveDFXyeah, do what's best for business

@@DaveDFX might need to widen the area of the photo zone to fit a bed. Once GS can do even short video clips, you'd have a multimillion dollar business.

I don't own this setup but hey.. I can get investors. Great content for Apple Vision Pro.

Lightroom, Metashape Pro, PostShot, RTX 4090

🤣😂😅😁

Thanks!

Thank you. I have other videos on 3D gaussian splatting.

Right now not good and it can get really slow if I crank up the settings. This one is quite fast on RTX 4090. You can see the video of the point cloud distribution. I have larger scenes processing now. Will upload when that is done.

Thank you. I'm processing more scans. Stay tuned
