“…any errors in the camera position solve can dramatically reduce the quality of a reconstruction. “
“Introducing CamP — a method to precondition camera optimization for NeRFs to significantly improve quality. With CamP we’re able to create high quality reconstructions even when input poses are bad. CamP is a general purpose trick that you can apply in many places. Apply CamP to prior SOTA NeRF models like Zip-NeRF, and you improve quality and establish a new SOTA. Applying CamP to existing camera optimization models, like SCNeRF, to improve their performance.” – Keunhong Park
“…workers are concerned about issues such as scheduling, base pay, and the rising cost of living in Vancouver.
They are also seeking ways to address “the precarity (insecurity) that’s really baked into the industry,” Gladman told CBC’s The Early Edition on Wednesday.
“People are working really short-term contracts, sometimes weeks at a time,” he said. “You go to work on Friday. You’re not sure if you’ll have a job on Monday. I think workers are just tired of holding the bag when things slow down every time.”
World Creator lets you create terrains of any size. There are absolutely no limits. You can create terrains with a few meters and terrains with thousands of kilometers. On top of that, our new terrain system allows you to create terrains of any detail. From meter precision down to centimeter precision, such high details can only be achieved with World Creator.
Hi Everyone. I receive countless letters asking about my book” Creating Animated Cartoons with Character” which is now out of print, with the remaining copies being sold at huge prices. I’m not in favor of this, and it seems there are many who may benefit from the information who cannot afford such an expensive book. Since artists come in many economic brackets, I am offering a digital version of this book as a free download. No strings attached. Simply go to my website (JoeMurrayStudio.com) in the book section https://lnkd.in/gw6MHeBi and download your own copy.
Once you get passed the boring bio stuff, there is info on creating and producing two of my three shows, plus interviews with the late great Stephen Hillenburg ( Spongebob) Everett Peck ( Duckman) Craig McCracken ( Powerpuff Girls) Tom Kenny ( voice of Spongebob, Heffer and a zillion other shows), and many other amazing professionals discussing their craft. Some of the information about networks, studios, and streaming need an upgrade, but other than that I feel it still remains relevant.
If you can afford it, maybe pay it forward ( contributions to food banks, volunteering, etc.) And maybe re-post this where students and other artists may find it useful. I hope it helps, and reaches those who have asked about it. Best to you!
Basically, gamma is the relationship between the brightness of a pixel as it appears on the screen, and the numerical value of that pixel. Generally Gamma is just about defining relationships.
Three main types: – Image Gamma encoded in images – Display Gammas encoded in hardware and/or viewing time – System or Viewing Gamma which is the net effect of all gammas when you look back at a final image. In theory this should flatten back to 1.0 gamma.
To measure the contrast ratio you will need a light meter. The process starts with you measuring the main source of light, or the key light.
Get a reading from the brightest area on the face of your subject. Then, measure the area lit by the secondary light, or fill light. To make sense of what you have just measured you have to understand that the information you have just gathered is in F-stops, a measure of light. With each additional F-stop, for example going one stop from f/1.4 to f/2.0, you create a doubling of light. The reverse is also true; moving one stop from f/8.0 to f/5.6 results in a halving of the light.
