Here is a link to several new (3D Gaussian Splats) created from imagery captured from the new Bloober Team game Cronos: The New Dawn.

“The Last of US Part 2: Remastered” looks gorgeous with its update to Unreal Engine 5, but more importantly the talent of those who created these cutscenes and the use of modern motion and facial capture that breathes life and emotion into these characters, that in my opinions is as good or even better than the live action HBO series since there is a level of agency not found in passively watching a movie or TV series. Still it is fun to watch the similarities if not a shot by shot comparison between the game and the TV series. A good case is in the sneak peak of the upcoming episode 4 (as of 4/30/25), that showed a similar, if not exact shot by shot scene of Ellie playing the guitar for Dina. In the game, Ashley Johnson is not only motion captured playing the guitar, but also sings the part as well from my understanding as Ellie, and not in her normal singing voice. Not sure Bella Ramsey will be singing or will it be Ashley Johnson in another guest appearance in season 2.

Now the technical side:

As mentioned in the title this is actually a video captured from the camera at 12 fps with Ashley Johnson cover of A-ha “Take on Me” . The process included capturing a video of a camera path created in the app Otis_Inf’s Camera Tools & NVIDIA ‘s video capture app. The resulting video is imported into and then exported a file to import into SuperSplat where this video was rendered and as exported as a web file you can view here: https://owlcreek.tech/3dgs/TLOU_EllieGuitar/ which allows you to move the camera yourself to see detail that was not shot in the orginal cutscene.
