✨ Happy New Year from Meshcapade! ✨

We're smashing into 2025 with a massive new release.

🎉 Introducing the .SMPL format!

#SMPL is a generative model for capturing and generating human behaviors, expressions, soft-tissue movement, hands & finger articulation in 3D. It is the standard for representing humans for #AI and #MachineLearning while being fully compatible with standard graphics engines.

Due to its popularity, we are now making it available as a downloadable file format with all the parametric information for training your AI models. Try it out now:

➡️ Download your results as a .SMPL file for use in your AI method.
➡️ Import your own .SMPL files to view them on our online platform.

🏂 Slide into 2025 with @meshcapade & #SMPL! ✨

Just did a walkthrough of the Tesla supercompute cluster at Giga Texas (aka Cortex).

This will be ~100k H100/H200 with massive storage for video training of FSD & Optimus.

Great work by the Tesla team!

This is what innovation looks like!

Meta's new neural interface tracks signals from the brain that pass through the wrist.

Soon we can control a robot hand/fingers 🤯
