Abstract:
GBake introduces a raytracing-based technique for creating reflection probes in Gaussian-splatted environments that overcomes inherent EWA splatting errors at cubemap seams, enabling realistic integration of traditional mesh objects into scenes comprised of 3D Gaussians. INVITED TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION
