In the video below you can see the method in action, with a model dressed like Andy Warhol holding an old-fashioned Polaroid camera. (Don\u2019t overthink the Warhol connection: it\u2019s just a bit of PR scene dressing.) <\/p>\n The tool is called Instant NeRF, referring to \u201cneural radiance fields<\/a>\u201d \u2014 a technique developed by researchers from UC Berkeley, Google Research, and UC San Diego in 2020. If you want a detailed explainer of neural radiance fields, you can read one here<\/a>, but in short, the method maps the color and light intensity of different 2D shots, then generates data to connect these images from different vantage points and render a finished 3D scene. In addition to images, the system requires data about the position of the camera. <\/p>\n Researchers have been improving this sort of 2D-to-3D model for a couple of years now<\/a>, adding more detail to finished renders and increasing rendering speed. Nvidia says its new Instant NeRF model is one of the fastest yet developed and reduces rendering time from a few minutes to a process that is finished \u201calmost instantly.\u201d <\/p>\n
