Imagine 3D printing directly onto an object that already exists.

With Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM), we can now print over existing components, opening up a world of possibilities for multi-component devices.

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

NeurIPS participation in Europe

We seek to understand if there is interest in being able to attend NeurIPS in Europe, i.e. without travelling to San Diego, US. In the following, assume that it is possible to present accepted papers ...

12 out of the 90 French casualties were Foreign Legion, of which 8 were foreign-born, so that's quite a bit lower. (source: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pertes_...)

This only counts deaths though, would be interesting to have a figure counting lasting physical and psychological injuries.

It's swapping the leg at some point, no?

Having worked for 3 years alongside Nicolas, I can confidently say that he is the whole package: he's super sharp, incredibly motivated and his unwavering enthusiasm has brought life to the lab every single day. Hire him !

Very happy about this release! I'll be at SIGGRAPH Asia next week if anyone wants to chat about Mitsuba/Dr.Jit in person.

Also, I'm ready to take the next step in my career. So, if you work in (inverse) rendering, let's get in touch - my DMs are open 🚀 !

Following over 1.5 years of hard work (w/@njroussel.bsky.social &@rtabbara.bsky.social), we just released a brand-new version of Dr.Jit (v1.0), my lab's differentiable rendering compiler along with an updated Mitsuba (v3.6). The list of changes is insanely long—here is what we're most excited about🧵

It's essentially reverse CT scanning: powerful light patterns are projected from all angles around a vial containing photo-sensitive resin. Only regions that receive enough energy will polymerize, so you can print a given object by controlling which regions receive enough with well-crafted patterns.
