Happy 2025! Earlier last year I stumbled upon NVIDIA Warp, a differentiable, kernel-based framework that lets you write CUDA-like code in python. I've been making a new NeRF app with it and have found it to be extremely performant and fun to use! Enjoy this short training video.

There is value in your uniquenesss

If you’re into raytracing, this is the most exciting radiance field representation since hash grids. I feel loved. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💞

The motto on this arcade game machine perfectly encapsulates my feelings on radiance fields.

This is a Foliage-emulating Radiance Network, or FeRN for short. Ok just kidding it's just a NeRF of a fern I spotted on a hike but it's my post for the day. Enjoy. #WarpNeRF

Siren vibes. NeRF quality improvements are on hold for now while I work on the utterly ridiculous idea of implementing a remote websocket renderer for use in a custom Blender addon. Will it work? Probably! Will it be fast? Hell no! #WarpNeRF

here you go, good ol' slerpin quats.

Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons at the Broad Museum, Los Angeles. Continuing with static images until I can get camera movements working in the Blender addon/renderer.

Portrait of two fashionable desert nomads, trained in WarpNeRF. Without a contraction function, background collapse causes blurriness in scenes with a large amount of depth.

#WarpNeRF - Posting a NeRF a day until I get a job😄 10k steps usually trains in under 60s @ 4096 rays/sec (largely thanks to tiny-cuda-nn) and this can be improved much further. Currently working on a Blender addon to control the camera, then will fix the image quality :]

First coherent training image from a new NeRF project combining NVIDIA Warp and fVDB. Goodbye, hand-coded analytical gradients. Hello differentiable kernels! #computervision #neuralfields #nerf

Congrats @RadianceFields and @janusch_patas! Also, nice animation 😎

“Come to Los Angeles” they said. “It’s the land of opportunity” they said.

I’m talking on a panel tomorrow evening in Los Angeles about NeRFs!! It’s at this really cool gallery that’s gonna show off a lot of stuff too. You can get tickets here! Come say hi! https://t.co/fCM3MMcRqV
