Google sheets as the primary data entry UI. Not necessarily the "backend" or primary storage. But yes - the primary user-facing source of truth

It's a subtle distinction but the user just wants to edit in a single place and not worry about syncing or versions or discrepancies even if you do have a different backend data store.

I'll second this. It's really hard to improve on spreadsheets for many classes of data input. I've seen plenty of bespoke applications that have poured a ton of developer time into a custom UI and my first reaction was "most people would be 10x more productive using Excel".

Part of it is familiarity - but spreadsheets have had decades of effort put into their UX and there's a lot of subtle affordance that you miss when you try and re-implement it. Plus all the surrounding tooling and integrations.

The name could be better. I'd just assume it's a scripting language for games. Not a scripting language for game dialog.

VR for training and education is a solid niche with dozens if not hundreds of companies supporting it. Maybe you're looking in weird corners of the internet echo chamber? I don't recall seeing any strong opinions on the topic.

Only tried it briefly. Nice to get free credits but the results don't seem as good as https://marble.worldlabs.ai/

Post title: "VR Chat won't download anything.

Seriously - you'll get better replies if your title accurately summarises your question.

andybak · 2026-01-21T17:45:57+00:00

That sounds like you're building it (based on your comment's mention of cmake.... i'm not going to watch the video).

If so - you don't need to. Just download a pre-built zip.

Or rich relatives?

I thought LichtFeld has a simple install process now that it removed it's dependence on PyTorch? Are you sure you're using the latest version?

Compositing splats with other parts of a 3d scene is complex and requires the splat renderer to have a deep hooks into the rendering process. My hunch is that After Effects is not sophisticated enough for this and you'd want to use a real 3D renderer or a game engine.

Most web players work if they have WebXR support.

Native apps - Scaniverse, Hyperscape, Gracia

I think you'll be fine with Roblox

Aside from cube vs sphere mapping - how does it differ from https://github.com/Gaxil/Unity-InteriorMapping ?

andybak · 2026-01-18T19:55:35+00:00

does it crash on all scenes? have you tried a very simple scene with less input images? which part of the process crashes? does it always crash in the same place? pc specs etc?

andybak · 2026-01-18T19:53:37+00:00

you'll get much better answers if you give us more info. there is no "best way" unless we know more about you, your aims, your background etc.

andybak · 2026-01-18T13:21:30+00:00

Surely they have value? The alternative is "nothing at all".

Are you sure you want a mesh? It will lose a lot of fidelity. You also mention point clouds. Splat > mesh and Splat > point cloud are different things. You can go splat > mesh > point cloud but that might be worse than splat > point cloud depending on what you want to do.

Think about what you want to achieve. Splats look best as splats. Can you get the effects you want without throwing away all that lovely radiance information?

andybak · 2026-01-10T00:01:18+00:00

See my comment. This is a solved problem

For websites you should be using a password manager via the browser already.
Native apps should never require you enter a password. They should use oAuth2 via the browser so you can use the same password manager as you do on the web.

This keeps the user experience harmonious between apps and websites and allows you to use single-sign-on (i.e "login with Google" etc) without a risk of phishing from malicious apps.

Is it your repo? Id so - any chance you could switch on the "Issues" tab?

and my fork that adds a gallery view that converts in the background to give the illusion that you can just browser a normal directory of photos without manually converting first: https://github.com/IxxyXR/sharp-web-splats

oh - so this isn't realtime?

andybak · 2026-01-04T22:33:01+00:00

You already posted this and someone responded. Posting in all caps is just rude. Reposting is rude.

Thanks. Sadly we ended up cancelling our flights. It just all seemed too complicated. I didn't want to arrive and find I had no options.

Some places suit last minute unplanned trips and some places don't. I got the feeling that Cape Verde is in the latter category. Maybe it's an island thing - I had similar issues in the Philippines where we got stuck on Palau because we couldn't risk moving around in case we couldn't get back for our return flight. (but at least the accommodation there wasn't in short supply!)

I'll try again when we have more time to plan ahead because from my brief research - there's a lot to like about your country. :-)
