A Gaussian splat of a jumping spider, the cutest of arachnids. The tiny size was a challenge. #3dgs 👇

You can improve the quality of your scans / splats if you only use the areas in focus. Useful if you can't get quite everything in focus.

This high magnification Gaussian splat of a brown butterfly wing section, sure looks like shingles.
new project: "micro-scans" aka "being Dany Bittel on a budget" @danybittel.bsky.social I bought a toy digital microscope and tried a couple of LEGO rigs over the past week first takes were quite "poetic" but the last one starts being usable :) first takeaway: engineering is hard.

AstrHori 25mm lens at 5x.. specimen is so tiny. 🫠 (tint is from green screen and phone desperately trying to white balance.)
High magnification Gaussian splatting is now working! My first attempts all failed, now with a proper lens it just works. Still need to improve diffraction (blur / haze) and pick a nicer subject. #3dgs
