Gaussian Splatting in SideFX Houdini with GSOPS

Jan Held joins View Dependent to walk through his research into alternative primitives for radiance fields, with a focus on what each choice enables for traditional rendering pipelines. We cover the full arc — 3D Convex Splatting → Triangle Splatting → Triangle Splatting+ → Mesh Splatting → Nexels — and what each step solved. Then we get into his work at SpAItial on world models that reconstruct explorable scenes from a single image, and where reconstruction and generative approaches each fit.

Co-hosts Michael Rubloff and MrNeRF speak to co-first author of Gaussian Splatting, Bernhard Kerbl. Papers 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real Time Radiance Field Rendering Taming 3DGS: High-Quality Radiance Fields with Limited Hierarchical 3D Gaussian Representation for Real-Time Rendering

Co-hosts Michael Rubloff and Mr. NeRF speak to co-author of NeRF and Google researcher, Jon Barron. This is an exciting episode covering everything from the discovery of NeRF, subsequent Radiance Field methods, things yet to come, and more!

Co-hosts Michael Rubloff and MrNeRF speak to Wieland Morgenstern about Gaussian Splatting compression and his paper, Self Organizing Gaussians. Self Organizing Gaussians can compress 90% of a .ply and is what Nerfstudio currently uses as their compression method.

This week on The View Dependent Podcast, co-hosts Michael Rubloff and MrNeRF speak to David Rhodes and Ruben Diaz of GSOPS 2.0. We'll discuss why Radiance Field methods, such as 3DGS are perfect fits for Houdini, what you can do within Houdini, and more! GSOPs Github: https://github.com/david-rhodes/GSOPs...
