@BryanNHolt @Alt_Azn Oh nice. Before we left LA last year my wife and I discussed Orange County as the only part of greater LA we could see ourselves living long term with a family. I'm sure it's expensive but it's a nice little bubble from the chaos elsewhere 😁

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@BryanNHolt @Alt_Azn Yeah I can imagine. You know where the Toyota dealership is? Sidewalk is overrun with tents. I went there to buy a car and the salesman had to pretend like there wasn't a lady wasn't shitting next to the car. Apparently they complain to the city daily about it. Nothing ever done.

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@ItsComicGuy Yeah it's probably overly complex. I'll try a new approach tomorrow.

Finally got a working holographic film effect in Blender. It mimics diffraction grating with repeating specular highlights. #b3d

@OtyMark There are some finicky blending techniques, but it's clothing right? It has literal seams.

@jordandchesney That was intense! Not sure what to make of the ending, but the intro had me hooked.

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@eyedesyn Wow. That's a lot better than I was expecting.

@saif_4d Chicken and egg. It won't ever be useful if it's not supported.

3D Gaussian Splat support for Blender is finally in development https://t.co/kMAPL6smXq 💪

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@RadianceFields @tripoai @ComfyUI omg that looks amazing. Have you played with it yet?

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@CvatikPhoto He learned Blender, made a whole series of shorts for free on Youtube by himself. It amassed a cult following, then Hollywood noticed. https://t.co/CCECsWAC3K

@pc_desgn The perfect video. Thanks for sharing it 😁

3D Gaussian Splat tech is getting wild. What are the projected real-world practical use cases for it?
Off the top of my head:
-Real-estate, Airbnb, event spaces
-Ecommerce product viz
-Virtual camera moves
What else?

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@zachklein Look I'm all for nice things, but young people can't afford to live anywhere. Skyscraper, high rise - doesn't matter. We need less red-tape to build anything. Everything else is a distraction.
