i have similar thoughts - but about AI covering gaps in splats

It runs on mobiles with lowest settings and have interface for that, but desktop is preferable

And yeah you can definitely create splats with open source

View model? Hands? Download from internet with permissive license - I was looking to something relatively realistic and remotely matching environment

yeah, in 2020 when Cyberpunk was out, it was a sci-fi concept!

lowest settings? i just approached mobile devices, it's a lot of data and running in a browser .. it's a miracle it works there in the current state (on my 6-years old iPhone it allows me to walk and shoot at least). Streaming LOD is tweakable tbh, it may need to lower settings for mobiles.

XGrid Portal camera has Lidar, and this scan is made with it as I remember

some game mode in Cyberpunk 2077 too

you would need a professional artist, several days and professional expensive equipment. It's not an easy task.

i think splats are good for browsers as it's just a render call with relatively simple shader - imagine modern traditional rendering pipeline, where it's thousands of different passes + post processing, shadows etc. Effective splat sorting is a different story in browsers though

tbh I haven't yet approached optimisation for this, i am pretty sure it's possible to improve it further. It runs on my 2020 iphone, but not super smooth though

I heard Insta360 is good for this.
