      That’s the future use case I could see with this. Less of an entire city, but definitely specific locations within larger cities, or places that would be unsafe to shoot, such as an abandoned underground tunnel. No longer need to be “on location” or pay for expensive filming permits. I’m sure it will still end up being monetized in some way.

    We searched our room and discovered that a window produced a single beam of light, which bounced off of a bright-yellow shirt, changing the color of the entire room.

    I'm an engineering technologist and work with Autodesk Civil 3D for a living and find this insanely interesting for its potential commercial purposes. I deal with drone survey a lot and photogrammetry aerial photos as well. With this type of tech, we could potentially be able to use our drones to more accurately capture water levels in lakes, dams, etc. since they have the same issue as that chrome ball where the data comes in looking wonky and frankly, like crap due to the reflecting light. As a result, I usually have to mask or trim out that data since it's inaccurate and looks bad in a topography map. I'll definitely be sharing this video with some of my engineering colleagues though to see its other potential uses like capturing images at night. That could be huge too as we usually could never capture good images or drone scans at night, and this would open our capabilities significantly as well. I love your guys' content and love how it keeps my brain thinking about how some of these tools can help in other fields like mine.

    On the lighting explanation, I just demonstrated to my class just how important it is to incorporate as much of the 3D elements in the immediate surroundings of a mesh in order to get the most accurate lighting and reflections. This adds that extra bit of realism to the render, even if the extra objects will never be seen in the shot. As for the NERF thing, I'm in my 50s and still learning my virtual production workflow, and now this. I'm getting too old.

      Hey thanks for watching my video! That's an awesome lighting example! Yeah I've done that too, even if I'm just projecting the footage onto simple geo in the scene. I agree, it adds subtle color and brightness to parts of a render that otherwise wouldn't have had it, but should.
      As for the NERF thing, you got this! If you can handle rendering scenes you can handle nerfs. Especially if you know photogrammetry! As long as the data input is good, navigating is like any 3D scene but there are basically no render settings! It just spits out renders that look like footage. It's shockingly easy in theory, but the current tools make it tedious. It's just gonna get easier from here!

    The VFX in this video are totally awesome, but I think what goes underappreciated is just how good the video looks. Like just the shots of Wren at his desk or outside doing camera and drone things are beautifully shot. Props to Nick (or whomever is behind the camera) for all that.

      You might as hell use photogrammetry as NRFs are essentially a video/rendered output. Not to mention that the density of the geometry (and the quality of loop; they look like STLs) wouldn't do well for real-time physics.
      For FMV games, though, that might be a cool way to speed up production time and create new story branches. Or make adventure games (like King's Quest) where you just want a new angle of a scene you've already scanned.
      An extreme push to the tech would be maybe a Myst style (online) game where you tell the server to "move forward" and it processes a new image for you to look at. All depending on how fast it processes the renders.
      Now, anything related to how limiting rendering is should be taken with a grain of salt and it's always in context with the current technology. We've come a long way from printing pixels on screens, to sprites, to polygons, to Unreal 5. So, in theory, if we can build GPUs that could render NRF in real-time then, yes, map making or any asset creation would be significantly different.

    • @danilooliveira6580
      @danilooliveira6580 Рік тому +1

      you can already do that with photometry. what it would help however is with the behavior of materials. you can look at your rendered scene and compare with the NeRF to see if you got the materials right.

      Well the geometry density could work with an engine like Unreal 5 which has automatic scalable rendered geometry. The important part of NRF is the lighting rendering, which any game engine would have to somehow incorporate into their systems. It very well could help with streamlining prebaked lighting or raytrace ready textures in games with a realistic aesthetic though, since you're doing away with setting the reflectiveness and roughness of an object to light it with raytraced lighting.
