Episode notes

Gaussians blending, along with spherical harmonics, enables modeling light transport effects in 3D models more effectively than photogrammetry. This approach eliminates view-dependent effects, ensuring consistency in material appearance across different viewing angles. Gaussians blending allows for optimization and local training on desktops or even smartphones, offering a user-friendly and commercially viable alternative to other tools.
