Toronto-based artist & AI researcher. Love building interactive tools that work with artist, and not against. Opinions are my own.

See your Gaussian Splats deform and collide under gravity! #NVIDIA Kaolin Library just released v0.18.0. github.com/NVIDIAGameWo...

Join us at #SIGGRAPH tomorrow Sunday, Aug 10, Room 121-122 for a hands-on lab showcasing this and an intro to NVIDIA Warp, used under the hood.

Join us Tuesday night at #SIGGRAPH Real-Time Live show to see interactive painting with Gaussian splat brushes, awesome work (and technical paper) by Karran Pandey presented by him and our inspiring collaborators at the National Film Board of Canada!

Holding SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 in Malaysia is a slap in the face to the rights of LGBTQ+ people. Especially now, when underrepresented people need as much support as we can possibly give them ! Angry like me ? Sign this open letter to let them know. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

My child’s doll and tools I captured as 3D Gaussians, turned digital with collisions and dynamics. We are getting closer to bridging the gap between the world we can touch and digital 3D. Experience the bleeding edge at #NVIDIA Kaolin hands-on lab, #CVPR2025! Wed, 8-noon. tinyurl.com/nv-kaolin-cv...

Our family cookbook recipestudio.com has been revived, a surprisingly smooth port of a 2012 blogger+app engine concoction to WordPress. Thanks to missing SIGGAsia, I found time to make this birthday present for mom, a talented chef and author of many Russian and other recipes, carefully illustrated.

I think I get it. Read your blog on it and all things done or planned. I should probably look into game engines more!

missed... what are you working on? What's the end goal?

NVIDIA Kaolin Library just released V0.17.0! 🎉 with a snazzy new 3D Gaussian Splat volume densifier and Warp library integration for faster Simplicits training - for representation-agnostic physics simulation, such as the splat sim shown below. github.com/NVIDIAGameWo...
Kudos, team!

My first post will be my art. Just finished this painting "My friend, the moon", inspired by my Toronto neighborhood. #noai Did I know the moon would be this big when I started, that sky would be purple? No. What a delight to discover, gradually, an image that expresses a mood
