🌲Introducing our paper A generalizable light transport 3D embedding for Global Illumination https://t.co/qW04w1NdLU. Just as Transformers learn long-range relationships between words or pixels, our new paper shows they can also learn how light interacts and bounces around a 3D

By the way, we spent a lot of effort curating and will release a large-scale indoor dataset (∼14k scenes) with diverse floorplans, geometries, and textures, serving as a benchmark for learning light transport. Checkout the paper for further details! https://t.co/qW04w1NdLU

We demonstrate the versatility of our framework by reusing a shared pre-trained encoder while introducing task-specific decoders. Using the same model, we accurately estimate diffuse global illumination that generalizes across diverse indoor scenes. With limited fine-tuning on a
