    pulling my friggin hair out trying to get Apple ProMax files to work well with lightroom presets. They look awful and often times the preset will just switch the profile from ApplePro to some other profile completely muddying it and making it dark. i’m disabling ApplePro and just using 12mp jpg format now

    • @marvelousdecay
      @marvelousdecay Час назад

      My suggestion would be to rely less on presets in general, since a lot of these will work with very specific lighting conditions. That still won't solve Apple's ProRAW format issues but in the end you will be able to get better results out of that format. I would say try using regular RAW since it will be more flexible than the compressed and highly processed JPG coming straight out of the camera.

    I think the power of your idea here is not this specific video per se. You are at the beginning of a journey … and I’m wondering what episode #25 will look like, sometime in the future. I’m assuming you will use the same prompt to gauge the advancement of the AI tools? I give you a lot of credit for taking the time to do this as a real experiment, that can be qualified over time. Trying to add some objectivity to a very subjective topic. I always appreciate your thoughtful approach to your videos.

      Cheers. Glad you like the idea. Yeah at some point I will try to re-use the prompts and see if I can get better results. From what I'm reading though, in order to reach this next level of quality - at least for chatGPT - the A.I. has to consume an ungodly amount of data, which doesn't even exist yet. Really crazy stuff...

    Hi, Dev from KIRI Engine here, first of all, thank you for bringing a good comparison video between KIRI and Polycom. We didn't use Apple algorithm and you said it right (except for object capture in LiDAR mode). And I truly realize the texture resolution is a big issue right now. And we will enhance this part in future updates. And about the volume thing, I saw another comment that says the truth, we developed that for side button capture. And that was the request from our valuable users. Again, very nice review and we definitely learned a lot from it. And if you have any other suggestions, feel free to contact us, and we would like to enhance them as well! Appreciate!🥰

      Hey there. Great to see the team actively looking for community feedback, and great to see that you're aware of some of these issues! • As stated on the video texture resolution is quite a hindrance currently. If and when you manage to fix that, that will make recommending the app a lot easier! Great to hear that it's in the plans for future updates! • Another issue that is definitely minor compared to texture resolution has to do with object scale. The USDZ files always export with really small scale. Most objects export as 1 to 2cm in size, which means that there's a lot of resizing involved. It's not a huge deal but I would prefer a x10 multiplier rather than these small 1cm objects. There's also a couple more issues with the UI so I'll definitely try to reach out to you over email. If you don't hear from me in the coming days feel free to contact me through my email. You can find it the about section of my channel.

  • @buroachenbach703
    @buroachenbach703 Месяц назад

    Hi, I understand that you left out the GS scanning but KIRI also has a featureless scanning option, which is somewhere between Photogrammetrie and NERF. I think it does work quite well on objects that would be difficult to scan with Photogrammetrie only. Also, KIRI engine has an option for a pro user to export his model in quads with a re-baked texture granted it’s lowres and of course you could do the conversion to quads yourself, but it’s still very convenient for a mobile app to have that option if you need assets fast and don’t have time to work on them. so KIRI is far from perfect but they do have a lot of good ideas and they are trying to push the boundaries of regular Photogrammetrie.

    • @marvelousdecay
      @marvelousdecay Месяц назад

      I definitely appreciate the efforts of the development team. It looks like the team is constantly adding features to the app which is great to see! About the featureless scanning: It's a good idea but I don't find it that useful. I guess it depends on what you want to do with the final mesh. Personally if I want to scan a featureless object I just sprinkle regular baby powder on the object and follow the typical photogrammetry procedures. The benefit with that is that you can get a very detailed mesh that you can then clean up and edit accordingly. The same goes for the quad mesh straight out of the app. As good as that might sound, I'm not entirely sure what the use case for it might be. I understand that it's convenient but if I'm going to use the object on a project I will adjust things myself either way, so having quads from the beginning is not so important. At least for me! As I mentioned earlier it all depends on your use case. If it fits your workflow and projects go for it!

  • @MarkusLanxinger

    Nice review. You mention there is no reason for a scanning app to take over the audio, however we also do that in our app to use the volume keys as shutter control which is very convenient plus it connects to third party grips that also use this method to trigger the shutter via the Bluetooth button they use. This only happens when in the manual capture mode though and not throughout the whole app

      The Mac Studio has its positives for sure. It’s an amazing editing machine and a great all rounder but when it comes to 3d rendering it’s severely lacking. I can’t blame the reviewers though. They can only test the things they’re most familiar with.

    That's why Elon Musk said lidar is useless and simple "vision" is way more effective. Lidar is good for multipass in survey where lasers pass through foliage while camera can't see them IMO.

    And I think, like you said, a lot of these terrible designs are due to prioritizing the company's needs over the user's needs. The first day some company realized "hey, we can make money off this internet thing", we were doomed. On the other hand, I've recently encountered some web sites, ones we actually pay the company directly to use, that must have been designed by someone with severe mental health issues.

    The scattering of the seeds look like something you could do in Blender easily with Geometry Nodes; maybe Cinema4D has something similar?

      Yeah there are several ways to approach this in Cinema too. I chose the scatter brush because I like the way I can control the placement. All the manual rotations and placements after the brush application was just me being over the top for no reason! Hahaha I would no suggest anyone doing what I did at all!

    Amazing video. I really love the late 80ties early 90ties for their computer innovations. Always makes me super nostalgic! I still remember that walking bottle scene file that came with C4D. I for the life of me could not figure out how they made it move. Would be interesting to have another look at it now ha ha ha. Also I really should liten more to those tracker music clips. They really had a certain vibe to them I love to this Day! Keep up making such great videos ✨

      Thanks Raphael! Haha yeah the bottle and underwater scenes were some of my favorites back then! I can't remember at all how it was done but I wonder if it was PLA animation? No clue! 😆 It's so wild to think how much we've progressed since then on the technology front! Now our phones are multiple times faster than any desktop computer of that time. Crazy!

    Hi Dimitris, I appreciate your knowledge and experience sharing. I have a question, am about to purchase a refurbished macbook pro max but hesitant on which one to go for, m1, m2 or m3. Of course the older models are cheaper, but when I checked on apple's website, they say that m3 chip now supports ray tracing. I would like to know, how significantly ahead is that compared to the m1/m2, let's say percentage wise. I am concerned about apps like 3d max/blender rendering. Thank you so much

    • @marvelousdecay
      @marvelousdecay Месяц назад

      When it comes to 3D rendering the M3 (Max) is significantly faster than M1 and M2. The M3 Max for example is faster than the M2 Ultra. So if you're looking to get a new machine, aim for the m3 max. If you can wait a couple more months the M4 is just around the corner. I will personally wait for the M4. From what we can tell it's going to be a nice jump in performance so if you can afford to wait you'll be better off.

    • @marvelousdecay
      @marvelousdecay Месяц назад

      In terms of raw speed the M3 Max is the better option of the two. My only issue with the setup you posted is the very little SSD space and the relatively low RAM. If you can bump the M3 Max to 64GB and 2TB you'll have a nice beefy setup. But if you gotta cut something go for the 64GB Ram and keep the 1TB SSD. Just keep in mind though that you'll have to carry around an external drive to help with storage. But it's a good enough compromise.
