Week9

Week 9 Plan:

Daffodils and statue VAT animation used in Splat Graden

I also added the daffodils and the statue into the scene, then set up an animation offset for the daffodils so they don't all bloom in sync — each one starts at a slightly different time, which makes the overall movement feel more natural and organic.

Gaussian Splat Sim (Itim rendered it in Houdini)

VAT Baked Animation (Rendered in Unreal)

We also compared the statue animation render results from the two pipelines, which showed that the VAT-baked animation can essentially reconstruct the motion of the simulation.
