@kikooooo2 : yes I always shoot RAW and edit highlights, shadows, exposure etc. It's essential if you aim for quality.
Also: the scene was trained using RTX 4080 with 16GB VRAM. Yes, its not enough to get 21M splats. But I have a solution for this: I split the scene into 2 parts and trained them separately (and then joined the splats)
Absolutely impressive. Can i ask some questions?
Did you "post-process" the images, like balancing shadows and darks spots?
What GPU was this trained in to handle 21M splats?
