experiment to render stuff for the sphere

I wanted to see what VFX looked good in a prototype of the Sphere. I rendered several panoramas at 2k of VFX in Unreal 5.5 and display them on a Sphere in VR to preview it. The guassian splat of the Sphere venue was made from a drone fly through, trained and rendered in UE with Postshot.

experiment with realtime stable diffusion

Extension of previous demo where I am running ComfyUI on a webcam of me, and sort of project that into the sphere (Unreal Composure seems crashy for me). I am using Off World's Spout tools to route the video from Comfy to Unreal, Im maxing out my system here.

panoramic render of a 3D FLIP fluid in Unreal 5.5

I made a FLIP sim to pour water onto the sphere and render it in a panorama, its slowly rising and will cover the sphere given enough time. This is 2K, 600 frames, took 4 minutes on a i9/4900. I could render up to 8k before it crashed.
