No. I wouldn't even say they are any form of AI. They're mostly pure math (gradient descent).

I normally just post about GSOPs, but I think it's time to start posting about myself, too. I think kindness makes the world a better place. ♥️

Thanks for the info! I asked because Trellis appears to have some similarities with Nvidia Meshtron: developer.nvidia.com/blog/high-fi.... I'm familiar with other 3DGS meshing techniques, but this one looks particularly promising.

Can Trellis generate a textured mesh from an existing 3DGS .ply? Does it require a prompt, if so?

Convert 3D Gaussian splatting scenes to textured meshes with SideFX Houdini and GSOPs. Deforming splats to UVs in world space works surprisingly well! #GSOPs #Houdini #GaussianSplatting

I was really looking forward to that title. I'm sorry the studio got shut down.

I can't stop looking at splat wireframes! 👀 This has minor filtering and an attribute blur (scale, orient). The way the splats "flow" is fascinating. Amazing scan courtesy of Guy Middleton (tinyurl.com/58afbmfx). #Houdini #GSOPs #GaussianSplatting

I don't know who needs to hear this, but 3D Gaussian splatting is NOT AI.
