Creator Spotlight: Michael Rubloff and Radiance Fields 🌟
Speaking of photos, Michael Rubloff, founder of Radiancefields.com, is on a mission to reshape the future of 3D imagery. A leader in radiance field technology, Michael captures the beauty of everyday life with 3D capture techniques like Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and Gaussian Splatting. Here’s a sneak peek into his world:
“One thing that I’m really excited about 3D as a medium is that composition no longer is a creative bottleneck. People have the freedom to explore the composition that is most meaningful and unique to them. I try to keep this in mind as I capture. How can I create scenes that can bring different meanings for people to discover?”
