@yanpei_cao This is terrific. I am exploring (with Claude Code) whether I can adapt this as a non-Cuda macOS app for my use. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks!

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@tokufxug Thanks for this! My own macOS pipeline is working well finally but I am ready for something more native. It’s all happening fast!

Pipeline for Domebase360 - 360 video to Splat

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

Before the rain, Fuente de Cibeles, Mexico City.
Gaussian splat from my Domebase360 app.

App contains ffmpeg, COLMAP, Brush training - one drop of the 360 video -> splat. No CLI. All macOS pipeline. Part of a complete workflow for planetariums. #fulldome #claudecode #agentic

河津バガテル公園「バラ園」3D Gaussian Splatting
残念ながら今年の9月末で閉園することが決まり、10月以降の予定は未定とのことです。
最後のバラになるかもしれないということで、観光に行き撮影しました。

Walking inside a 5,000 year-old Neolithic burial site, perfectly preserved in 3D. 🏛️✨

This is the Kleinenknetener Steine II in Germany - a megalithic site from 3500 BC. Thanks to Gaussian Splatting, you can now explore these ancient monuments with stunning realism in your web browser.

Starting with Unity 6.4, the Web platform supports the Burst compiler with C# job multithreading. This greatly improves the performance of simulation-heavy tasks like this.

A 360 video walkthrough in San Cristobal that I did in 2022 before I knew anything. Turned into a splat in my self-contained Domebase360 app. Then animated in the Domebase editor, and rendered as fisheye. It would have to be tilted up for a dome. #Xcode #Fulldome #Chiapas

@dreamwieber Attention must be paid.

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@dreamwieber Ha! Yes, it can get pushy.

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@dreamwieber Yes, it has an abrupt way of insisting I take a break. But it *is* good at instructing and checking on Claude Code.

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@pallavkaushish @ReflctWillie Yes, used NBP. With 3 people in the shot it changed all three - younger, more hip. With just one, it worked.

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@ReflctWillie Hmm. After giving it a single image, in a different location, it returned a single from two images previous , in that location. Remembered and brought it back. Is there a logic to its failures? Same thread eventually works?

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@ReflctWillie This is terrific. I tried the prompt with photos (several times actually) but the subject(s) ended up different people. How do you maintain the same person as the input image?

@dreamwieber Yep. Lifelong learner here at age 75. Hang in there, kids. And pass it on.

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@rudytheelder Next year I'll take you to Palenque. Stay in San Cristobal. Deal?

[Dave Pentecost @dpentecost]

@dreamwieber Cool. And the result in visionOS?
