I think a bigger problem is how much computational resources NERF models need. From the paper,

"Our model, Mip-NeRF 360, and our 'mip-NeRF 360 + iNGP' baseline were all trained on 8 NVIDIA Tesla V100-SXM2-16GB GPUs."

Even with all that, it takes almost an hour to train. A developer would need to do this for every scene, which may make it unfeasible for indies, those who would benefit the most from NERF in gaming.

Yea I think your third paragraph about journaling accomplishments might do some good. Breaking through the mental barriers seem to be what I'm ultimately trying to accomplish.

I'll check out those books, I've heard a lot about Marcus Aurelius.

Curious, is SideFX Houdini similar to Blender? Why use one versus the other, if you don't mind answering.

Thanks for the reply, I do think you're right. I'm also GenZ, and thinking about others does consume my mental state more than I'd like. Maybe just shutting off the content consumption for a while is a good idea.

Yea I do think I haven't found my niche yet, I tend to read about a lot of different things, and hard to focus on one thing specifically. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, yea I originally did it just because I thought it would be a nice change of pace from my day to day, and a fun way to learn C++. The code isn't really good so I avoided pushing it to github.

Yea the artistic side of things might be good to try, I do like the idea of exploring toon shading more.

Yea I think I am usually able to make a functional prototype, just creating something that's actually all the way finished and great is a challenge.

Might be a good idea to find someone to help make things into a longer form solution, but I'm fairly introverted/shy, so that's always a challenge, but good advice!

I agree, but it's hard sometimes, you know? I for some reason can't help but compare, even though it does no good.

Thanks for the advice :D

Yea I am working as a professional backend software engineer. Started right after University.

For what I really want to do, I am not really sure anymore to be honest. There are jobs that I think would be very interesting and a nice change of pace, like Graphics Engineering, but I always end up thinking I'm too under qualified. I'm almost done my Masters in Computer Science, but still don't feel too qualified.
