The Pit — video to Gaussian splat
Reconstructed from: Family Feud stage, Unreal Engine 5 editor viewport capture (149 frames)
Flythrough of the trained splat
Camera orbit through the trained Gaussian splat. Nothing here is video of the original clip — every frame is rendered from the splat. (8.6 MB)
Source frame vs. flythrough frame
Left: the source video. Right: the reconstruction, from a camera angle that never existed in the source.

What this is and isn't
- This is a Family Feud stage, not a Love Bird environment. It was chosen because it is the one source on this PC that reconstructs: a real Unreal editor viewport capture with genuine camera parallax.
- Every AI-generated clip tried FAILED to reconstruct, which is the expected result rather than a bug. The smoothest, best-looking one registered 2 of 156 frames. Diffusion video invents parallax per frame, so there is no consistent geometry for structure-from-motion to recover.
- The camera flies the path the capture actually took, not a 360 orbit. The capture covered an arc, and orbiting outside it would render empty space that reads as a failed reconstruction.
- Nothing in the flythrough is source video. Every frame is rendered from the trained splat.
