Pow3R: Empowering Unconstrained 3D Reconstruction with Camera and Scene Priors

tl;dr: DUSt3R with any optional input subset of camera intrinsics, pose and depthmaps

Full set of depth maps are done! Still need to run the bottom 4 through the laser cutter. Should be done next week. Then I just need to stain them and frame them.

...but i say that w/ the understanding that 'a thing placed in water visibly sinks into it' works in _my_ isometric pixel game b/c i've manually made depthmaps for every landscape tile and am doing manual z-depth, which is a nightmare i wouldn't want to inflict on anybody

Using Python in Blender to generate depthmaps for a neverending knitting still life. Exploring how diffusion models handle complex metallic materiality.

This is a big one! I'm almost done with my MVP, built with @rerun.io‬ and @gradio-hf.bsky.social‬!

TLDR:
Inputs
- 2-N Synchronized Videos in a zip file

Outputs
- Multiview Consistent Depthmaps + Pointclouds (Thanks VGGT + MogeV2!)
- Depth Confidence Values

I feel that it sounds right since you probably need sharpness close to the light and softness faraway.
Make me think about the contact shadows mixed with shadow maps (depthmaps) … none of them can achieve the full expected range alone.

Tengo funcionando LLMs en local en mi PC, sé usar ComfyUI, instalo cosas con pinokio cada dos por tres para ver herramientas nuevas que se crean. Hay algunas cosas útiles como sacar depthmaps de imágenes planas o ayudar programando scripts, pero los inconvenientes superan a las ventajas.

Why not?
Not everything has to be hard to do, just to please a crowd that never can be pleased anyway.

Purist: I make my own depthmaps by chiseling white marble that can only be found in one quarry in Italy. Anything else is cheating!! Die heretics !!!
In the industry there are no purists...
