Episode notes
Gaussian Splat Tests Misled Expectations
- Niko tested Gaussian splat interpolation with a few cameras and expected it to be easy based on small tests.
- The real project required far more cameras, compute, and money than the early tests suggested.
Structure-First Tracking Beats Rigid Match-Moving
- Glow Map handles 'liquid' interpolated footage better because it predicts structure from points instead of rigid cameras.
- This flexibility lets it succeed where classic match-moving tools fail on warped frames.
Green-Screen Pass For Cleaner Rotoscope
- Niko tried AI rotoscoping but ran into color contamination on soft hair edges from varied backgrounds.
- He solved it by swapping keyframes to a green-screen pass and re-interpolating to get clean edges.
