In 3D modeling, traditional formats are different from NURBS and Gaussian splats which require mapping everything to materials with parameters. NURBS and Gaussian splats work on a parameter-based system where small changes can have significant impacts. They focus on capturing products from different angles to understand colors and reflections, creating a unique approach to specular and reflective materials.
Luma AI develops technologies at the forefront of AI and graphics. They created a text-to-3D tool that functions like Midjourney but for generating 3D models. Another tool makes photorealistic environments by reconstructing any scene in 3D from just a few photos.
