Rendering Point Clouds @ TU Wien
📢 Looking for 1 PhD student (3 years) in Vienna!
We have an open position for someone to tackle MASSIVE 3D datasets and turn them into instant visuals for display, editing, and interacting!

No nonsense like descriptors, pipelines, render passes, bind groups and layouts, etc.

A really fun project we've been working on: Real-Time Rendering with JPEG textures! Ended up working way better than we expected (1500+ fps). Will be interesting extending this to modern formats like AVIF or JPEG XL.

First results on "Potree-Next", a WebGPU-based rewrite of Potree. Still work to do before it is production-ready, but over the course of the next year it will catch up with the current Potree 1.8, and eventually replace it.

3D Gaussian splatting relies on depth-sorting of splats, which is costly and prone to artifacts (e.g., "popping"). In our latest work, "StochasticSplats", we replace sorted alpha blending by stochastic transparency, an unbiased Monte Carlo estimator from the real-time rendering literature.

Productive-procrastination: My attempt at dynamically growable arrays, but using virtual memory.
- No copies as array grows.
- Initializing array with 400GB virtual memory, and physically comitting as much memory as needed.

Here is our gaussian splat editor: github.com/m-schuetz/Sp...
Eventually I want it to be able to take scans of ugly streets and beautify them like a photoshop for gaussians. :)

Probably one of the most important features ever: Undo & Redo.
Now also working with transformations of selected splats. Although it's currently a slightly "lossy" undo because I'm only saving the transformation matrix and result of inverse may not exactly match original.
