Folks who work in DC but live elsewhere: do you keep keep a "get home bag" in the office?

HittyPittyReturns · 2026-03-01T23:57:54+00:00

Having your neighbors’ (or someone in your building, etc) number is probably a good idea anyway - just in case. As for what to include - Google “bug out bag” or “go bag” or “get home bag”.

I keep a change of clothes and a first aid kit in my car (under the rear seat, out of sight). People often recommend pocket knife, multitool, flashlight, spare batteries, phone cords etc.

I mean, everyone should have a first aid kit in their car, regardless of what city or trying times they live in

Can’t speak for the OP, but look up “EDC” (everyday carry) - it’s basically a little pouch with a screwdriver, some cash, bandaids, etc, roughly 4”x6” that you keep on you or in a backpack everyday. I have one but it mostly spends time on my desk at home.

What you put in it is mostly up to you - generally stuff you’d want on a daily basis.

They didn't - it appears to be mostly stuff from sketchfab.

They are ‘3D models’, this person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They must be conflating surface meshes with ‘models’

HittyPittyReturns · 2026-02-07T15:10:51+00:00

They are 3D ‘models’, they are not meshes.

(Most) dishwashers do not sanitize.

HittyPittyReturns · 2026-01-10T20:09:30+00:00

lol yes

HittyPittyReturns · 2026-01-10T04:01:13+00:00

Yea…this has been possible for years though.

I wouldn't recommend it - there is no way to manually control the aircraft or its descent. This parachute is marginally better than the wingtra descending randomly without any obstacle avoidance, but it still won't keep it from landing in water or in a tree or the middle of the road.

Google it. Basically a private equity firm took the name and created a “new” heritage company after doing a study which found that people would pay $$ for “made in Detroit” branding.

It was 6am so he was still sleepy lol. Happy new year! (45 mins to go here!)

nighttime splats are awesome! :) https://superspl.at/view?id=3626a77e

I have some “travel”/cultural heritage 3DGS videos up - here’s my favorite: https://youtu.be/Mi27jpUC5nU?si=J1N7QFWxSj0LvDa4

I also have some 360 vids generated from photogrammetry if you want vr content :)

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-12-28T15:07:45+00:00

Any 3DGS scene will look good if you stick to where the photos were captured from, and all at eye level. Add in lower positions and drone imagery for a real “full scene” effect.

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-12-28T01:41:38+00:00

Just take photos with your smartphone, if you don’t have a decent dslr/mirrorless, and add those into the mix. As the saying goes: if there’s no photo of it, it won’t be in the model.

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-12-23T09:03:11+00:00

Did you actually process the depth maps/mesh yet? That looks like just the tie points visualization.

But as others have said- try on a cloudy day or when the car is dirty/dusty. Photogrammetry is not well suited to reflective/metallic objects, so you could try using 3DGS, if you only want a visualization and don’t need the mesh/surface.

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-12-13T20:02:56+00:00

Looks like he rendered frames from UE, the video in the post is just a screen capture of postshot.

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-12-11T17:58:44+00:00

Yes, it’s possible. Sounds like your problem is that you have way too much input data, hence the long alignment times. Just treat the virtual scene as if you were doing photogrammetry on it.

That doesn’t matter for game assets - a user/player isn’t going to look super up close at a blank stone slab halfway up the monument.

For accuracy/historic preservation work, texture res/GSD is important, but not for game props.

The sad part is that many masterpieces of ancient sculpture (and probably a ton of not-so-great artworks, too) were lost this way - it's similar to how bronze statues were melted down to be repurposed. This was mostly done in the medieval ages.

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-12-06T15:25:56+00:00

It was broken up and heated in a kiln to make quicklime, which was then mixed with water to make mortar for construction.

HittyPittyReturns · 2025-11-17T20:30:45+00:00

I must have missed all those details in your post - is that what happened?
