What a time to be alive!
Nice crossover! You should suggest more tech for them to test out!
I was holding onto my papers waiting for this comment.
Haha after the reference, I had to look for you in the comments ^^
By the way, the first time I heard about NeRF was in Two Minute Papers back in 2020!
The legend himself.
This is insane Wren! Can't wait what the future holds for NeRF's.
What a time to be alive!
I want a invite to luma
Insane technology 🔥
all fun and games until they release the buffs
It's NERF or no reflections
Wren, I feel like this video is one that represents your heart for this channel. This video wasn't to show how it is the perfect tool. Because perfection leads to stagnation. It was to inspire people and point them in a direction to evolve theirselves in their craft.
can this geometry be geolocated?
@@bryanlewis8777 it's not geometry, it's a neural radiance field
Geo cant locate the geometry
It's seriously so awesome but even more compelling because he's so stoked on it
It's really bugging me though, i seriously can't find that video from a while back where they tour the virtual production, think it's like a red Mars like background
I found an old VFX react where they say go check out out but it's not anywhere near that video in chronological order
Incredible! I wonder when we'll be able to capture moving elements and render animations with Nerf.
Atmospheric adventure games are gonna become even better image Plague Tale type game like this
@@user-ch9vd4cd3t Yeah, but he's only cutting himself out of the video, he's not actually capturing a moving NERF
God, that'd probably require SOOOOOOOO much data to have an animated radiance field like that though
That was fantastic and i literally do not understand it at all. I wish i did
Sup Alex
Aha the Clarkman himself
3D scanning + machine learning
@@Mr_Doon = reverse engineered 1st principles
Me neither. I like the logo flickering in the the bottom right corner. That helps.
Do a NERF of New York City in its entirety. Film studios everywhere will be able make “film” in the city where it would be too expensive or technical.
That’s the future use case I could see with this. Less of an entire city, but definitely specific locations within larger cities, or places that would be unsafe to shoot, such as an abandoned underground tunnel. No longer need to be “on location” or pay for expensive filming permits. I’m sure it will still end up being monetized in some way.
@@AmericanAvenue I really hope it's open sourced honestly.
Brah, all big studios probably already have a standard NY in 3D in their librairy
@@wnazgul *Library.
And they don't have all of New York City as a Neural Radiance Field.
@@wnazgul yeah i can definitely see the potential for some big studios like Lockheed Martin or NASA ...oh wait.
I love his pure passion. You can really tell Wren absolutely loves what he does and the industry he works in. That passion is inspiring and feels me with legitimate joy to see somebody with pure love for something they do.
“Two more papers down the line”
“What a time to be alive”
A fellow of culture, I see
I was squeezing my papers before the final demo
@@geobot9k Hold on to them!
Dear fellow scholars this is two-minute papers with Doctor Károly Zsolnai-Fehér
When I hear the references that I understand and then I see others do that as well - I know I am doing something right.
@@LocaLGh0sT can you explain the references maybe, i dont know them
This is crazy!!! Love it!
Ikr!
The fact that you're able to get shots as good as this in a short amount of time when the technology is new and you just started learning it is crazy. I can't imagine how far this will push things in the future.
I hope this brings back miniature-usage for movies.
you could have a detailed, realistic, scanned miniature with all the correct reflections and also have all the cinematic freedom CGI gives you if you're not happy with the shot.
PLUS you can do digital camera movements you couldn't do in the real miniature.
That’s actually pretty brilliant, the only thing is that miniatures do take allot of time and money to build. But still, very very smart.
Love that wren literally ever ages
I been thinking that too, could be. new era of hybrid "tokusatsu" kaiju movies.
Wren is the Bill Nye of VFX. His excitement and on camera presence makes me interested in everything he’s about to say.
He's my favorite member.
I was about to post literally the same comment lol, crazy I wasn't the only one to think of the Bill Nye comparison
Couldn't have said better ❤️
absolutely
He needs his own show like Bill Nye to show kids in school and on Netflix. Would def get kids excited about technology and all!
Love the Two Minute Papers reference at the end. This is really interesting technology. I studied art and animation in college but ended up in a business intelligence/machine learning career. I never though in a millions years the two would overlap.
Something that I've told a bunch of friends that work in different fields (psychology, law, teaching, chemistry, etc) is that AI is becoming so relevant in so many fields, that they should expect the same in their fields not too far into the future. Deepfakes, AI art, GPT3, etc are just some examples of primitive fields and we are still experimenting with it.
The first two renders just straight up blew my mind and left me speechless, like how can it be so realistic ?
Amazing how much Imagery and VFX technology progressed in 10 years, even things like simple 3d camera tracks with CGI were super rare on youtube or indie productions.
I see Wren watches Two Minute Papers. Amazing video! This technology seems to already have great potential for films, my only question is how distinguishing real videos from fabricated ones will be approached in the future.
I was coming here for this exact thing. Like I was hoping for them to mention 2 minute papers somewhere but they never do. I know it's not nefarious but it feels weird that the page is seldom actually brought up.
\
@@joshuaellis3051 there is a very clear reference to 2 minute papers at the end.
Lol in the future you'll run your media through an AI software which will tell you if the media it just scanned was generated by an AI or not🤣
I think referencing with the quotes it’s the most credits they can give. Else it would be like thanking Bill Nye for every time you applied some physics concept. It’s okay if that’s how you came to know it, but in the end he’s just a science communicator an referencing the name of the technology is actually more important. Right?
What a time to be alive!
Can we just appreciate that Corridor genuinely educates us every single episode? Basically physics, vfx, and film courses that they perfect with entertaining visuals, guests, and of course CREW MEMBERS. Happy to see how much Corridor as a company has expanded and grown.
Edit: Not to sound like a stalker 👀 But I live in LA and sometimes I purposely take the I-10 in hopes of one day seeing Wren or another Crew Member doing something crazy on their roof. Looks like I missed out on seeing Wren acting like a giant 😭
🤓
🤓
Yea this channel is top tier for sure.
🤓
I watch so much educational videos, that things people explain that i already know, i just ignore...
Thinking a bit, you are right, every video they explain something.
But this video is something else, holy shit, this was spectacular, the end was becoming so close to another channel, until "2 papers down the line", That is a very Strong reference!! it was not coincidence... im very exited with all this knowledge and people coming together...
Wren puts so much passion into his videos. He could almost have his own channel and it would be insanely good
Wren is one of the most incredible people to just watch because his passion, experience and skill are all on full display.
Heck, everyone at corridor is like that, definitely one of the greatest youtube channels.
4:07
There was this time that I woke up and noticed that the entire room had a yellow tint to it. I thought I was imagining things because I just woke up, but my brother was also seeing this strange, yellow phenomenon.
We searched our room and discovered that a window produced a single beam of light, which bounced off of a bright-yellow shirt, changing the color of the entire room.
I remember picking up the shirt, then the entire room reverted back to its original color. It was cool to discover
I once had a similar effect, where a friend wore a bright pink shirt, and at night, their white car looked completely pink due to the reflection of the headlights.
Man every time wren makes his own video he just puts everything into it and I love it
S tier content
I love how excited you get about this kind of stuff, Wren. You're truly a pioneer in your field and it's important that artists try to push these boundaries and use the new tools we're given!
As a young beginner vfx artist, this is absolutely thrilling to watch! My brain has been doing backflips this entire video
Feeble?
Everyone talks about how Peter is a genius, and he is that kind of genius that uses his tools to the greatest artistry with ease, but let me tell you something, Wren is one of a hell of a genius as well, and he is one of those even rarer geniuses that instead of perfecting his art, his art itself is creation. This man is the heart of Corridor Crew in almost every sense. All other people in the Crew is amazing as well, not gonna lie, I'm kinda jealous of working in a place like this.
Wren is kind of like Picasso - Always too busy inventing something new to make anything that looks great up close.
found wrens alt account
wait until you guys realize that EVERYONE in corridor is a genius
I love how Wren is literally showing us the cutting edge of this technology. It's awesome to see what's coming
This is fantastic! Thanks for breaking it down man. I definitely see the potential and it's something I knew nothing about. Well done, keep'm coming. You guys are great
I love it every time we get a video where Wren is bursting with enthusiasm wanting to show us something new he learned of or a cool idea that popped into his head. This channel is amazing and I've learned so many fun and interesting things from everyone at Corridor.
I could see Wren as a teacher. He is so good at explaining and his excitement would make students become engrossed in his lesson.
We all became his students the moment we hit "Subscribe". :D
I have a feeling making millions of dollars and doing what you love contributes to that.
Getting paid crap to teach a bunch of brats who don't wanna learn? Yeah he wouldn't be like this lol
Isn't he already? I'm certainly learning a lot from his videos. :)
@@TheTuttle99 I think you might be right. Anyway i like the way he teaches here. He doesn’t give classes, he provides useful knowledge.
@@jakeydakey absolutely, I look forward to his videos
I'm an engineering technologist and work with Autodesk Civil 3D for a living and find this insanely interesting for its potential commercial purposes. I deal with drone survey a lot and photogrammetry aerial photos as well. With this type of tech, we could potentially be able to use our drones to more accurately capture water levels in lakes, dams, etc. since they have the same issue as that chrome ball where the data comes in looking wonky and frankly, like crap due to the reflecting light. As a result, I usually have to mask or trim out that data since it's inaccurate and looks bad in a topography map. I'll definitely be sharing this video with some of my engineering colleagues though to see its other potential uses like capturing images at night. That could be huge too as we usually could never capture good images or drone scans at night, and this would open our capabilities significantly as well. I love your guys' content and love how it keeps my brain thinking about how some of these tools can help in other fields like mine.
These are some cool thoughts. :)
As an architect, I’m very interested in how this might work in combination with a real hand-made model or digital model of a building or a district overlayed with a drone shot. It would save SO MUCH time over having to model or render an entire city or background and could be updated over time.
As an architect are you a groundbreaking, outside the box thinker or one entrenched in archaic ways of construction & building design?
I've seen photogrammetry combined with some manual work to recreate an entire house, inside and outside.
Now I think with NeRF it's even more interesting. Because you can use it to feed the photogrammetry software with even more images and not dealing with lighting problem.
Imagine live augmented reality with this. Overlay a beach setting in your house, talking to your friend across the world projected right in front of you as if they were there with you.
For those two things, you don’t need AR. Just use a good projector and project the image into a corner of you room. Your brain does the rest…
@@lordinquisitor6651 But you can't project a person into the middle of your room by projecting them into the corner of the room.
But if you were live-capturing a NERF where they are and live-rendering that into AR where you are, you could now have a pretty realistic version of them that you can walk around and stuff. If you set it up both ways, that'd be interesting.
My only worry is that this might be too much data to process, transmit and render in real time.
@@cameron7374 Two words: Virtual Strippers.
@@cameron7374 if it’s too much right now, I’m certain that in the not-so-distant future, it’ll be possible. Technology makes leaps and bounds while you’re looking away from it
@@ShirtlessLuke2 Definitely, and I'm excited for that.
Love the callout to 2 minute papers in the end, fits perfectly
I was thinking of him through out the video. I hope he sees this
I just left a 2 minute papers comment without seeing their reference in the video lol
Edit: the comment I left is exactly what he said
Why? Does? Two? Minute papers? Speak? Like? This?
I can't? Get through? His? Videos? Because? I find it? So? Annoying?
@@C.I... He's not a native English speaker. 🤦
@@jonathanrynjah I thought his voice was AI generated...
The enthusiasm of Wren is unmatched and contagious.
I just looked at Paul Franklin's whole filmography and I was surprised I've been loving his work since "The 10th Kingdom" in 2000 when I was 8 years old. My family would always keep an eye out for when it was on TV.
On the lighting explanation, I just demonstrated to my class just how important it is to incorporate as much of the 3D elements in the immediate surroundings of a mesh in order to get the most accurate lighting and reflections. This adds that extra bit of realism to the render, even if the extra objects will never be seen in the shot. As for the NERF thing, I'm in my 50s and still learning my virtual production workflow, and now this. I'm getting too old.
Hey thanks for watching my video! That's an awesome lighting example! Yeah I've done that too, even if I'm just projecting the footage onto simple geo in the scene. I agree, it adds subtle color and brightness to parts of a render that otherwise wouldn't have had it, but should.
As for the NERF thing, you got this! If you can handle rendering scenes you can handle nerfs. Especially if you know photogrammetry! As long as the data input is good, navigating is like any 3D scene but there are basically no render settings! It just spits out renders that look like footage. It's shockingly easy in theory, but the current tools make it tedious. It's just gonna get easier from here!
You're not too old. You're like 10 years older than me and I'm just getting started baby! Love my meshroom and stuff so need to look into this.
@@SirWrender I've seen photogrammetry combined with some manual work to recreate an entire house, inside and outside.
Now I think with NeRF it's even more interesting. Because you can use it to feed the photogrammetry software with even more images and not dealing with lighting problem.
I don't think I've ever commented on a CC video before but the energy in this one just brought me alive.
I'm not a VFX artist, I'd barely call myself a videographer, but this channel continues to entertain and educate me in a vast array of different ways.
Thank you Wren and team for being you. Much respect and love 🖤
Thanks for tuning in!
Wren is literally my hero, he inspires me everyday to look for solutions for problems that I decide to make.
Car!
This has got to be one of the most fascinating technological developments I've seen explained on video since disguise and unreal engine were brought to LED volumes. The future of filmmaking is so exciting. Thank you so much for being a huge nerd and making this video about it for all of us. You've definitely sparked some ideas in my brain.
We love you, Wren! Thank you and the team for sharing your passion and putting in the extra hours, you guys are awesome
That shot of the pan was pretty mind blowing to me. Even when you said it was a NRF and not real my mind was still convinced that it was 100% real! Crazy! Can’t wait for a whole CG short with this tech!
well thats because it followed the exact same camera movement right? the real interesting thing is when you change the camera movement to something that didnt exist. this basically allows you to move and look around in a video which im sure many people have dreamt of before
As someone who’s trying to learn 3D and cgi, it’s always amazing to learn about such cool new technologies
the problem is that what you learn today, can become irrelevant 2 days later
Same
@@dsfs17987 the fundamentals never become obsolete.
@@MrGamelover23 i disagree
@@MrGamelover23 they most certainly do, well, not obsolete, but irrelevant, good for conversation reminiscing the good old days though
I absolutely love that you guys referenced Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér and Two minutes papers! What a time to be alive!
This is WILD, and incredible for being so early on. Great explanation Wren, and I've been SUPER curious about this so... thumbs up :)
The VFX in this video are totally awesome, but I think what goes underappreciated is just how good the video looks. Like just the shots of Wren at his desk or outside doing camera and drone things are beautifully shot. Props to Nick (or whomever is behind the camera) for all that.
Now if Nick could just teach Wren how to shoot steadily with a camera or phone instead of waving it around like a madman it would be a massive improvement. I almost felt ill in some parts of this.
This NRF stuff could easily revolutionize map making in video games too, it’d be really cool to get 1:1 references for objects and rooms
I would love to play cod in a map of my city
Oh wow that's such a great application
You might as hell use photogrammetry as NRFs are essentially a video/rendered output. Not to mention that the density of the geometry (and the quality of loop; they look like STLs) wouldn't do well for real-time physics.
For FMV games, though, that might be a cool way to speed up production time and create new story branches. Or make adventure games (like King's Quest) where you just want a new angle of a scene you've already scanned.
An extreme push to the tech would be maybe a Myst style (online) game where you tell the server to "move forward" and it processes a new image for you to look at. All depending on how fast it processes the renders.
Now, anything related to how limiting rendering is should be taken with a grain of salt and it's always in context with the current technology. We've come a long way from printing pixels on screens, to sprites, to polygons, to Unreal 5. So, in theory, if we can build GPUs that could render NRF in real-time then, yes, map making or any asset creation would be significantly different.
you can already do that with photometry. what it would help however is with the behavior of materials. you can look at your rendered scene and compare with the NeRF to see if you got the materials right.
@@gixG17
Well the geometry density could work with an engine like Unreal 5 which has automatic scalable rendered geometry. The important part of NRF is the lighting rendering, which any game engine would have to somehow incorporate into their systems. It very well could help with streamlining prebaked lighting or raytrace ready textures in games with a realistic aesthetic though, since you're doing away with setting the reflectiveness and roughness of an object to light it with raytraced lighting.
My mind was absolutely BLOWN by this video!!! I had dreams of tech like this when I was younger, I can't believe that it's actually possible.
I love the "what a time to be alive" as a reference to the 2 minute papers chan :)
wren’s crazy premise videos are my absolute favorites on this channel, every single one is so cool
Not even a VFX person and this just blows my mind, you guys are insane!
I got my whole family hooked on saying "What a Time to be Alive" all the time for no reason. They have not idea where it came from.
Lmao. Thats hillarious
Seems like you're right to be so excited. Massive potential!
Wren has to be the most impressive person I have ever seen, he gives me inspiration with filmmaking that I never thought was possible, I'm so glad that he can express his idea and dreams when it comes to VFX and the future of VFX
The nod to Two Minute Papers made me smile.
The "two papers down the line" made me wonder if homage was being paid, and then the "What a time to be alive" put a dumb grin on my face.
i love the different types of videos corridor makes from straight up documentrarys to strapping nerfs on drones and giving jan a pinky knife
Sheeesh this is amazing! Thanks for your energy and taking us on an adventure with this incredible technology!
Wow! Even with saying this is early on and the shots Wren did are “not production ready” it’s still REALLY impressive and SOOO much potential. All the tech that has come out in the last 3-5 years has been mind blowing with what it will eventually become.
Love the 2-Minute Papers reference at the end! Can't wait to see where this tech goes!
*This comment was brought to you by weights and biases*
I see what you did there, what a time to be alive.
Already excited to see what you guys will be able to come up with using this amazing new technology!
16:26 I loved the Two Minute Papers reference there
I imagine this being very useful in sport replays. If they can 3D track a ball, disc, or whatever and then virtually follow it's flight, watching from the ball's point of view, that would be incredible.
They could actually do with this in the World Cup right now for accurately judging offside calls.
Would also make it easier and take less time for realtors to do virtual walkthroughs but it would be even more immersive since those are usually not free roam. I would also be very interested in taking old videos of the house I grew up in and popping into it in VR.
Great idea!
I believe the ball itself already holds a ton of electronics and generates quite a bit of data in a game so all of that is used to determine precisely whether ball is offside, etc. I might be wrong but I read about it some time ago.
@@alpuhagame What sport currently has electronics in their balls?
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing this awesome tech!
Thank you for this creative and incredible overview of neural rendering technology!
16:32 *_What a time to be alive!_*
Wanted to say this to you guys at Corridor.
This team is the reason why I want to work and delve into VFX. I remembered the very first video I saw from you guys and it was DUBSTEP GUNS.
I remember I was in awe with what I was watching and how people who weren’t apart of Hollywood could do it?! Thank you for the inspiration when I was only 13. Thank you for sticking to CZcams and for always being YOU! You are guys are definitely a force within the VFX/Cinema world.
-Meech
Man, that will be huge for augmented reallity, one of the issues right now is fitting the light of the 3d objet into the realtime camera feedback. If this technology advance to work on real time, we might see realistic objects with AR.
I've been watching NERF papers for a while, and the technology looks really promising. As a guy who's been playing around with photogrammetry for the past couple of years, I'm super excited to finally see a development in the field of converting real scenes into 3D geometry!
I'm surprised movie or game companies haven't hired Corridor to help with their movie or game. They have cutting edge technology every time there's new tech. I love everything these guys have done
"Look just two papers down the road. What a time to be alive!" -- I see what you did there 🙂Also, you say it's not production ready, but what you really mean is just that it's not strictly better than the much more labor intensive methods used today. It already looks better than pretty much anything I remember from pre-2000, and some after that.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
Also, making these with the programs, it’s super easy, maybe a bit too smoothed and bumpy, BUT, if you work on it and fix it, it’ll look perfect, cuz lighting is perfect
As someone who's had to do production photogrammetry, this is insanely awesome. I cannot wait to see how this evolves!
That TwoMinutePapers quote at the end is just... *chef's kiss*
I think Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér will be as excited about this video as Wren is!
I love these Wren led videos, they're always so interesting tech wise, and he's such a great host.
I just started researching on NeRF a couple of weeks ago and seeing your video was so inspiring
Wow! I am very look forward to watch more about this in short future! Thanks!!!
Keep evolving Corridor.. it's been a pleasure to watch the channel over the years.
This is actually mind blowing, we're witnessing a breakthrough in technology happening in front of our eyes, it is such a special moment
Even though I‘m just curious and not someone creating, this looks really impressive! Thank you for teaching!
YOu guys are always ahead of the game. Literally after this video dropped 10 months ago, I felt like every IG video influencer hopped on the Luma AI train and started showing it off a couple of months after you guys. THANK YOU for always sharing your knowledge. Corridor is the BEST.
This is fascinating, absolutely gonna be seeing this used in movies and shows and video games in the coming years. Even though it’s still rudimentary for now the potential it already has is huge, really excited to see where this goes
Probably one of the best Corridor videos i’ve ever seen (and ive been following meticulously for over 10 years now)! Extremely well thought out, inspiring and entertaining all in one! Hats off to Wren 🧢👒🎩
So glad morning brew recommended me this video, great job guys, didn’t knew about it and I love when video effects have the details of reflection, they’re next level awesome
im actually mind blown how real it looks if you do it a certain way
this is crazy cool can't wait to see what you guys do with it
Wait.. How did you do this?
Omg, this is one of the most incredible and sick tech videos I've ever seen. So much respect to Wren able to explain such a crazy yet mind-blowing tech in a non dry and relatable way that kinda makes you want to give this a go. Awesome job👍
Would be interesting what a 360° Cam would do for it.
I can't wait for NeRF 360 videos in VR. Perfect stereoscopy, same quality of reflections and transparency as the "welcome to light fields" demo... maybe like a array of 360 cameras could capture a live scene, since you need a lot of different viewpoints as input.
All of my brains exploded 🤯 Back in art school I learned photogrammetry using a projected grid, a camera, and software. I also worked on a project with LIDAR scans. It’s crazy how much things have advanced since then.
I'm not even in VFX but I'm nerding out right now and it gave me some ideas to try! Thank you Wren, Cooridor Digital, and of course the sponsor of today's video.
Love to see u guys finally getting the recognition u deserve
Wow. Thanks for making this video this is incredibly exciting.
Wren, thank you so much for introducing me to this technology. Whatever tools this will become will be perfect for my ideas! I appreciate all the work that you, and the whole crew do. You guys have have truly inspired me, hope you all are well over the holidays 😁
That has not just a new big potential for VFX, it's a complete new way of recording things.
I am thinking about using that stuff to walk through the picture in VR.
Did you find the app?
Wow that’s a great idea! Very exciting!
turns out that my cousin actually first developed this with a few of his friends. cool to see u guys using it
I am fascinated by the 3D world in general, and I remember starting to do 3D scanning over 10 years ago using photogrammetry with reality capture. Until today, I hadn't discovered NERF. I was just about to buy a 3D scanner, and I thought, let me pause and do one last search on the internet before looking at 3D scanner prices because the truth is, I don't think it's worth spending a ton of money on 3D scanners when we have the technology we have at our fingertips. All you have to do is a simple search on the internet, and you're good to go. I'm tired of taking photos and painstakingly going through each one to decide if it's usable or not, then uploading and rendering it for 3D design with any rendering program that reconstructs a 3D object from photos, only to end up with a crappy result (sorry for the word). The truth is, I wanted something like this to happen. I'm blown away by this technology. It really has a lot of potential, and from this moment on, the world has changed. Bravo for the video you've made and for all the effort you put into making these videos and sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. It is appreciated.
Wren and team, this was an excellent encapsulation of progress. This video will be something I and many others reference back to in the future :)
Wren can you please make a class of some sort about VFX? You're the best and most engaging teacher I've ever seen. I would have had straight A's if my teachers were all like Wren. He has an amazing ability to make potentially boring topics really engaging through his pure passion for the subject matter.
I doubt I'm alone in saying I would pay up to say $50 for a high quality tutorial. Say 10 hours of tutorial minimum. I'm not even in a field remotely similar to VFX, but he's that good of a teacher to where I actively want to learn the subject matter and learn to tell a story with it.
Pay Wren whatever he needs Corridor, he's irreplaceable.
The Two Minute Papers tag sold me on it. I was interested all the way through, of course - loads of potential, but Two Minute Papers is exactly the right vibe.
Awesome vid Wren. This tech is definitely a game changer!! I cannot wait to see what happens with this. Not only for movies, TV and video games, I anticipate there will be engineering, Architectural, biomedical and all sorts of other applications …. Exciting times indeed
How could it effect the biomedical field though? Its all illusion. Hows that going to help in that field? Just curious for an example
