I will also be there presenting LuxRemix!
Looking forward to your visit 🤗

BTW, I just released our massive 360 synthetic rendering dataset w/ light decomposition. Please check the thread.

[Christian Richardt @c_richardt]

Today, we’re presenting LuxRemix at #CVPR2026 — 10:45 poster session, poster #102!

Decompose indoor lighting into individual light sources from one image, then remix it (on/off, color, intensity) with real-time 3DGS relighting.

Come say hi 👋

🔥 Check out our latest work!
🚀 Introducing Gamma-World: a generative multi-agent world model that scales beyond two players and supports real-time streaming at 24 FPS.

[Jianyuan @jianyuan_wang]

Introducing VGGT-Ω: scaling feed-forward reconstruction across static and dynamic scenes, and studying whether the learned geometric representations transfer beyond reconstruction.

[Ruofan Liang @RfLiang]

Fortunate to help @yxue_yxue on this project during our Meta internship 😃.

GeoRelight follows the research trajectory of DifffusionRenderer and UniRelight and delivers a significant quality improvement in relighting and geometry reconstruction for general human captures.

[Yuxuan Xue @yxue_yxue]

#CVPR2026 Highlight

How to make relighting more photorealistic? Make reconstruction happening together!

GeoRelight jointly resolves Geometry, Instrinsics, and Relighting, and proves they have mutual benefit (Geometry helps you know shadow and shading)

[Kai He @Kai__He]

We open-sourced the code and model for UniRelight! 🎉

Given an input video and a target lighting configuration, our method jointly predicts a relit video and its corresponding albedo.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
