This is one of the advancements I had been waiting for for generative 3D. The question I have been asking of many of these neural techniques is how will artists work with this data? How will it fit into existing pipelines? The answer I’ve often received is that meshes will just become irrelevant. Well, maybe, but right now the use cases are far more practical if generative 3D is in a form that is easy to modify and integrate.

Chladni Plate/Cymatics sim. I'm still working on a more effective model for specific pitches, chords, summation tones, resultants, etc. But I like how this prototype of a rising sine wave came out.

"XR MUSE: An Open-Source Unity Framework for Extended Reality-Based Networked Multi-User Studies" by Stéven Picard,Ningyuan Sun andJean Botev "In recent years, extended reality (XR) technologies have been increasingly used as a research tool in behavioral studies. They allow experimenters to conduct user studies in simulated environments that are both controllable and reproducible across participants. However, creating XR experiences for such studies remains challenging, particularly in networked, multi-user setups that investigate collaborative or competitive scenarios. Numerous aspects need to be implemented and coherently integrated, e.g., in terms of user interaction, environment configuration, and data synchronization. ..." https://lnkd.in/dbhRQBMa Part of the special issue "Networked Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality Systems", the Virtual Worlds journal.

Our technical paper about learned volumetric texture inference of wood was published in Computer Graphics Forum this week! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gmwGtjZi Figure explanation: Left - a photograph of a physical piece of solid wood. Right - a computer rendering of the approximated appearance of a bunny cut out from that piece of wood. #cgf #computergraphics #research #materialtexturing

Our new paper completely eclipses our previous publication of Spatiotemporal Blue Noise. FAST noise can make STBN of higher quality, but also generalizes the concept to arbitrary spatial and temporal filters. Put the noise in the frequencies removed by your filters. Get better results by just changing your per pixel RNG. Best used at the lowest of sample counts, like what can be afforded in real time rendering or previews.

DEV-LESS DESIGN: This is the most important educational experiment in design and AI happening in our world 👇. The design pedagogies of Prof Donn Koh and Helen Armstrong are the current standard bearers in my opinion.

Mixed reality headsets can create the illusion that a remote user is in the same room as you---and conversely, that you are in their room. However, because of the physical differences between the two rooms, such an illusion of co-presence breaks down occasionally. In our latest paper, which won an Honourable Mention Award at DIS'24 🏆, Emily Wong, Jens Emil Grønbæk, and I try to unpack these experiences. In these "glitches in the matrix" we see a Jamais Vu effect, which happens when a familiar experience suddenly feels unfamiliar (the opposite of a Deja Vu).
