🎨🤖 Oh, look! The latest from the "we're too cool for physics" crowd: a #neural network that allegedly renders triangles with "global illumination"—whatever that means. Just what we needed: more AI-generated images of stuff no one asked for. 🤯🖼️

RenderFormer: Transformer-based Neural Rendering of Triangle Meshes with Global Illumination

We present RenderFormer, a neural rendering pipeline that directly renders an image from a triangle-based representation of scene with full global illumination effects, and that does not require per-scene training or finetuning.
