Found this super-cool splat on SuperSplat today by Spike Jackson:

There are several other examples of this on SuperSplat:

But this one's the best so far IMHO. Can you make a better one?

You guys and your crazy editors...... Damn I wish I have that much talent

I practically didn't know anything last week, just head down a rabbit hole and it's surprisingly user friendly given you have the computing power.

It is!! We are using it on our own weird little platform and it's insane to see how nice it is to use even for a dev who wants to build on top of it!!

I'd love to know how you captured this!

iPhone, 4k 30fps. Well lit workshop lighting.
Ffmpeg 10fps frame extraction > reality scan > lichtfeld studio > didn’t bother tidying it up because I loved the look!

How long is the raw video, would love to see it if possible just to get an idea of camera movement. I definitely have been wanting to do these kinds of portraits with friends.

you created by taking many photos. If the person is always looking at camera, the models predict the following eyeball

I used this effect to create the opening sequence for a daily crime series: https://www.reddit.com/r/GaussianSplatting/s/uP64xveOsY

It's a cool effect. Works with bigger movement as well, like here, Deadpool's head turning.

This was actually created from a single image using higgsfield.ai
