Happy 2025! Earlier last year I stumbled upon NVIDIA Warp, a differentiable, kernel-based framework that lets you write CUDA-like code in python. I've been making a new NeRF app with it and have found it to be extremely performant and fun to use! Enjoy this short training video. This is Warp + PyTorch + fVDB + tcnn. Enjoy!

@taiyasaki This is so scary and my heart goes out to you & your family & your baby. Get well soon ❤️‍🩹

There is value in your uniquenesss

@RVg80361301 It’s for doing differentiable raymarching and being able to control how raymarching is done with python

@RadianceFields Damn right it is!

[James Perlman @jperldev]

If you’re into raytracing, this is the most exciting radiance field representation since hash grids. I feel loved. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💞

Belated happy Valentine's day 🥰

@BenR82225 Splatting gaussians offers better rendering framerates for the most common hardware currently, that is the benefit. Besides that, NeRFs tend to take up less memory and can have higher realism

This is a Foliage-emulating Radiance Network, or FeRN for short. Ok just kidding it's just a NeRF of a fern I spotted on a hike but it's my post for the day. Enjoy. #WarpNeRF

[James Perlman @jperldev]

@natanielruizg I had this issue too and after manually using the "I don't want to see this" option on a bunch of posts I'm back to academic research feed!

[James Perlman @jperldev]

@leondenise This is the hardest part.

[James Perlman @jperldev]

@leondenise THIS IS SICK

[James Perlman @jperldev]

@BenR82225 Gaussians are boring

[James Perlman @jperldev]

The motto on this arcade game machine perfectly encapsulates my feelings on radiance fields.

@3pointedit This is so crazy they’ve just built an office under the water line. The forces holding back instant destruction must be astronomical.

[James Perlman @jperldev]

Siren vibes. NeRF quality improvements are on hold for now while I work on the utterly ridiculous idea of implementing a remote websocket renderer for use in a custom Blender addon. Will it work? Probably! Will it be fast? Hell no! #WarpNeRF

[James Perlman @jperldev]

@RadianceFields This looks very radiant to me!

[James Perlman @jperldev]

@mazy1998 Yes! I haven’t announced an official release yet, but the code is visible at https://t.co/LcvZcCk1D5

Be forewarned - it is entirely undocumented.

[James Perlman @jperldev]

here you go, good ol' slerpin quats.

[Hugues Bruyère @smallfly]

@jperldev Thanks for letting us know because I was about to say, “You are killing me here! Make that camera move already!” :)

[James Perlman @jperldev]

NeRF for now, because the raymarching algorithm has a ton of untapped artistic potential to create some really unique stuff. I’ve worked with gaussians and they have a lot of benefits over NeRF, also I’d like to experiment with raytracing them, but splatting them isn’t too useful to my goals.

[James Perlman @jperldev]

#WarpNeRF - Posting a NeRF a day until I get a job😄 10k steps usually trains in under 60s @ 4096 rays/sec (largely thanks to tiny-cuda-nn) and this can be improved much further. Currently working on a Blender addon to control the camera, then will fix the image quality :]
