Happy to present "Lighting in Motion" at #CVPR, trained to predict the HDRI map for image-based lighting from anywhere in an LDR image or video. Used for CGI or to drive @eyelinestudios's Light Dome LED stage with lighting from generated backgrounds. eyeline-labs.github.io/LiMo/

Happy to join @jon_barron in congratulating @BenMildenhall and @_pratul_ for their ACM Grace Hopper Award recognizing Neural Radiance Fields -- NeRF's -- which in 2020 dramatically advanced the process of modeling and rendering 3D scenes from photographs.

Congrats @BenMildenhall and @_pratul_! ACM gives Grace Hopper Awards to under-35-year-olds for *one specific thing*, here it's NeRF. Past winners include Donald Knuth (for "The Art of Computer Programming"), Steve Wozniak (for Apple), and @martin_casado (for SDN). Good company!
