I recently submitted a video proposal to give a talk on rendering inspired by a set of old botanical drawings. They fascinated me because, at that time, I was working with photogrammetry to document plants in my garden. With my phone and an app’s aid, I would take multiple photographs of a plant from as many angles as possible. Then, somewhere in the so-called ephemera of the cloud, the pictures would be stitched together into a 3D image with the help of AI. While doing this, I kept thinking about the differences between the old botanical drawings, how they were drawn and the processes involved in photogrammetry.
Whether it will be accepted or not is unknown, but in the meantime, there is the trailer.
