Turning movie shots into 3D scenes using 3D Gaussian Splatting. We found movie clips online, converted scenes to image sequences, trained their GSPLATS, and brought them to UNREAL ENGINE 5. 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering Paper: https://repo-sam.inria.fr/fungraph/3d-gaussian-splatting/ Join our discord server: https://discord.gg/fUTyYnvceB If you wanna see us to do cool things follow us here too: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/badxstudio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/badxstudio TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@badxstudio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/badxstudio Bad Decisions Podcast 🎙️: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badxstudio Our personal handles: (if you wanna stalk us) https://www.instagram.com/farhad_sh/ https://www.instagram.com/farazshababs/ https://twitter.com/Farhads__ https://twitter.com/farazshababi https://www.linkedin.com/in/farhadshababi/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/farazshababi/ #unrealengine5 #3dgaussiansplatting #3dscan #gaussiansplatting #3d #3drender #nerf #unrealengine #blender3d #blender #drone #ai #photogrammetry #vfx #cgi #film

A.I. tools fueled a 34% spike in Microsoft’s water consumption, and one city with its data centers is concerned about the effect on residential supply
A.I. tools fueled a 34% spike in Microsoft’s water consumption, and one city with its data centers is concerned about the effect on residential supply
“They were pretty secretive on what they’re doing out there,” says a former mayor about Microsoft’s data center projects.
Microsoft disclosed that its global water consumption spiked 34% from 2021 to 2022 (to nearly 1.7 billion gallons, or more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools)
ChatGPT gulps up 500 milliliters of water (close to what’s in a 16-ounce water bottle) every time you ask it a series of between 5 to 50 prompts or questions
Google reported a 20% growth in water use
“was literally made next to cornfields west of Des Moines.”

In 2008, while working with Will Smith on the set of a film that never ended up getting made, Remington Scott had an epiphany. The visual effects director was watching Smith stand in a photogrammetry booth, with dozens of cameras capturing the actor’s facial features from every possible angle. “ ...

RT-2: New model translates vision and language into action
RT-2: New model translates vision and language into action
Introducing Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2), a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model that learns from both web and robotics data, and translates this knowledge into generalised instructions for robotic control, while retaining web-scale capabilities. This work builds upon Robotic Transformer 1 (RT-1), a model trained on multi-task demonstrations which can learn combinations of tasks and objects seen in the robotic data. RT-2 shows improved generalisation capabilities and semantic and visual understanding, beyond the robotic data it was exposed to. This includes interpreting new commands and responding to user commands by performing rudimentary reasoning, such as reasoning about object categories or high-level descriptions.
