tl;dr: Crysta.ai 3D-printed the author's Gaussian splat of an insect by voxelating it into a translucent "crystal" block, with each voxel containing a mix of inks and varying transparency. The author trained the splat using spherical harmonics at level 0 in linear space to suit the non-view-dependent printing process, though results came out slightly dark with some splat artifacts and clumpy fur. They suggest future improvements like voxelization previews and MagicaVoxel import/export support. | |
