Hello! Welcome to VP Land 🌐

At the bottom of every email we always include a calendar of upcoming events relating to virtual production. We included a lot of info and it was getting a bit long.

We streamlined the display of events but also launched a web page with a sortable Airtable database of all upcoming events plus a form to submit your own events.

Check it out here (and let us know what you think)

Alright, let’s jump into the updates

STAGE A

AnimateAnyone, GaussianAvatars, and more Grand SLAMs

In tech history, 2023 will go down as the year of AI (and maybe AGI? 🤷), along with battles between companies to release the latest and greatest LLM (or fake their demo).

But there have also been a lot of wild developments in reality scanning and creating photorealistic virtual worlds, from NeRFs to 3D Gaussian Splats and more. Plus some really interesting uses of AI with photos and video.

A lot of new demos and scientific papers have been popping up on our radar, so here’s a roundup of some of the most interesting reports:

AnimateAnyone: animate people/characters from a single still photo
Video-Bench: a benchmark for evaluating video-based LLMs
GaussianAvatars: Rigs 3D Gaussian Splats to a face model for photorealistic animation
StyleAligned: technique to keep a consistent style across generated images
Alpha-CLIP: tell a model to just focus on a specific part of an image while still knowing that there’s more to the image
Gaussian Splatting SLAM: real-time 3D Gsplats
ReconFusion: create 3D models from a small number of photos
