Instant NGP is a novel view synthesis framework that reduces the model training for a single scene from hours to a few seconds.

This project is a CUDA-free instant NGP renderer implemented in Taichi. Supported by Taichi's built-in GUI system, the project supports real-time rendering and camera interaction while consuming less than 1GB of VRAM. It also contains a fully fused multilayer perceptron (MLP) enabled by the SharedArray feature.

The following are some pre-trained NeRF synthesis scenes:

Holy fucking shit man, you're doing god's work for the ambitiously industrious, yet computationally ret--uh.. challenged among us.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/taichi_lang using the top posts of all time!

#1: Taichi user theAfish simulates a non-rotating Schwarzschild black hole and its accretion disk via ray marching. Semi-implicit Euler method is used and general relativity involved to simulate the light paths. See source code: https://github.com/theAfish/BlackHoleRayMarching/blob/master/main.py | 1 comment
#2: A 10k-particle comet simulation, completed within 100 lines of Python code | 1 comment
#3: A classic Cornell box scene: Ray tracing rendered in Python and accelerated by Taichi | 3 comments

Could you elaborate on how it's so much more performant than other versions?
