SplatPrep Studio addresses a persistent challenge in 3D reconstruction workflows: efficiently generating comprehensive multi-view datasets. The application transforms 360°/180º equirectangular mono or stereo video or high-resolution equirectangular panoramas into perspective camera views suitable for...
I’ve been working on something that started with a practical problem: I have access to several AI models – Claude Pro, Gemini Pro, and GitHub Copilot – and wanted to move conversations between them...
A comprehensive guide for Linux novices to set up SwarmUI with NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti on Ubuntu 24.04. It assumes you are comfortable with using command-line input and have a reasonable degree of computer...
With the ongoing improvement in AI and machine learning models, as well as adaptive, programmable workflows in environments like Python/Jupyter, ComfyUI, Blender and Unreal Engine, it is a productive time to look at new...
This page will host my experiments with Gaussian-splatting pipelines. I finally found some time to get round to setting up the environment – pretty straight-forward stuff – and a lot of emergent integrations that...
You can visit Planet Plop here. It’s just a sketch at this stage and will evolve over time. Music and songs are created in collaboration with my friend Glenn Rogers. From my perspective, I’m...
It’s exciting times for working with Large Language models for computer programming – especially for generalists like me who work across a range of platforms, languages and task-spaces that are often not very conversant...
Playable Earth :: ANAT Bespoke Disrupting the status quo of Earth Observation Visualisation through immersion and interaction. Playable Earth is an ANAT Bespoke Residency in partnership with Swinburne University. The project aims to explore novel ways...
A quick demo on work-in-progress on VMI, demonstrating progress on weather simulations and few other features. I’m using the fantastic UDS rather than the inbuilt UE volumetrics and particle systems, as this provides an...
GPlates is ‘a plate tectonics program..(used to)..manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleogeographic features through geological time.’ I’ve looked at (and used) GPlates on and off over the years – it’s definitely the kind of...
We’re making good progress on environmental visualization and placing animals in our VMI simulation. Gina Moore and I have been working closely together and have moved a huge amount of our workflow into Houdini...
A quick note about a free-ish (or relatively low cost) and not-too-finicky but a-bit-technical way to generate subtitles for video interviews using Microsoft Word – up to 1hr in length (00:59:59,999) – or longer...
