Antes de que las GPUs modernas dominaran el escritorio, 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 ya estaba mostrando hacia dónde iba la computación visual.
No eran solo computadoras. Eran estaciones para construir el futuro.

En sus máquinas se crearon mundos virtuales, escenas imposibles y herramientas que marcaron a toda una generación de artistas, ingenieros y desarrolladores.
Su hardware era tan distintivo: gabinetes azules, morados y turquesa; arquitectura MIPS; gráficos OpenGL; multiprocesamiento; y una estética industrial que todavía hoy parece salida de una película de ciencia ficción.

Introduction 3D Gaussian splatting is a technique that answers this question: given a dataset of pictures of a scene, how can I reconstruct it in 3D? This is achieved using a machine learning algorithm that, for many different camera angles, does the following: render the scene, compare it to the picture taken at the same camera angle, and update the scene to reduce the difference between the rendered image and the ground truth. However, unlike traditional 3D renderers, 3DGS does not use triangles as primitives, but objects called Gaussian splats, making the rendering algorithm unique to 3DGS.
Found the very first #3D Modeling program I ever used circa 1992, "3D-Edit."
It came with a bunch of shareware on a 105MB hard disk I got from my parents that year. The program itself was released in 1986.
