Curious About My Creator Journey? Watch: "How I Turned My Passion for 3D into a Career": youtube.com/watch?v=vmxr_CyM0gQ --~--
Quick intro to the very "Instant" Neural Graphics Primitives (or Instant NGP) by NVIDIA — This brief walkthrough explains what neural volumes are, compares and contrasts the differences between NeRF neural rendering vs. photogrammetry, and shows you how to turn a nerf into explicit 3d geometry to can export into any 3D software. In my next video, I’ll show you how you can make your own camera animations from nerf datasets.
