Image Dataset Extraction from Video

September 16, 2025January 19, 2026 NeuralVFX

Every great ML model is built on a foundation of great data, but creating it is often a soul-crushing chore. Several months ago I was handed a large piece of

Retrieval Augmented Captioning with LLMs

February 19, 2025January 19, 2026 NeuralVFX

One of the largest barriers to entry when training Stable Diffusion models is creating a fully captioned training dataset. While tools like CLIP or BLIP can auto-generate captions for generic

Reverse Matchmove + Discriminator

January 22, 2019June 11, 2023 NeuralVFX

One question which I ask myself when evaluating GAN and machine learning approaches to image generation is, “Can it work at high res?”. With some ok looking results from my

Reverse Matchmove GAN

December 23, 2018June 11, 2023 NeuralVFX

At some point, most of us have needed to adjust a camera move in 3D. I’ve seen it done every way, from blocking out projection geometry to allow a slight

Lighting Swap CycleGAN

May 18, 2018June 11, 2023 NeuralVFX

With the recent revamp of texture extraction/projection and photo modeling techniques rippling through the industry (and a general thirst for more information), the amount of photographs coming back from the

Beauty2Normals Neural Network

April 29, 2018June 11, 2023 NeuralVFX

One of my favorite aspects of VFX is compositing CG, especially doing vector math and tricks with tech passes to finish off a shot. Often when I’m working with a

Neural Network for Generating HDRIs

February 8, 2018June 11, 2023 NeuralVFX

Every lighting TD has been given a shot to light with no lighting reference or information from set to help determine the illumination before, this is the fun part of
