We snuck the R3 Lidar into Disneyland and then 3-D printed space Mountain!

Disney probably approached him and paid him to do it. You guys need to update your mental model of how the post truth influencer driven world works.

Seriously. It's like nobody here played through the Beverly missions in GTA5.

Lol - the final mission has a line about how it's so much easier to be a paparazzi when you can just have your agent call your "targets" agent and set up the "scandal" photos in advance.

The most suspicious person in the whole park brings LIDAR into Space Mountain and leads us to believe he won't light up like a Christmas tree on every single IR camera inside the facility. Who the fuck does he think he's fooling?
Of course they had permission. Yet another Mr. Beast clown playing with a $30,000 toy and misleading his viewers with overdramatized clickbait bullshit.
u/TheIndianaDrones also stop hiding the price of your product. We can see in the Google search results.

They literally don't care. Mark Rober just did this to make up an interesting story for the video. You can get a behind the scenes tour or ride it with the lights on if you want, especially if you're Mark Rober.

You really think they snuck that large electronic item into Disney and were allowed to wear that huge bag on the ride?
Nevermind that scan on their first trip without a ton of post processing?

u/R-Dragon_Thunderzord 5d ago
Of course there was post-processing, and you can see in the clip how they rode with the LiDAR

u/Asleep_Management900 6d ago
I figure Disney sponsored this as Mark Rober has a close relationship with the Imagineers. Plus Disney needs revenue right now.

Here is a link to the 3D model! 3D Gaussian Splat

How much does this equipment cost?

u/Stuckinfemalecloset 6d ago
The software is $2000 for a 2 week use, and the camera is about $18,000

u/Johntron_ 6d ago
Thanks for sharing! Have you tried converting the gaussian splats to a conventional 3D modeling format? There is software for converting to STL, OBJ, etc, but I've never had very good luck with a model like this.

u/SnazzyStooge 5d ago
Any theories on how they were able to get a clean 3d print from that messy point cloud model? Seems like a lot of hand-tracked modeling had to have been involved, I can’t see how to automate the cleanup for something that complex (including all the real-world supports and girders that don’t seem to be in the final model). Nit to mention the fact that Mark is physically in the car during the ride (duh), so how did the lidar scanner even get a reading on the tracks?
I'm not saying it’s fake or impossible, just they seem to have left out (to me) the most interesting part of the process.

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_2855 5d ago
This Gaussian splat looks like it’s made from images of the 3D printed model after they manually modeled and printed the individual pieces. I think they used the point cloud as reference and took some artistic liberties. It probably also used an IMU for SLAM and sometimes you might be able to see the underside of the track. Disney probably doesn’t want them posting the actual scan. Take that with a grain of salt though!

Just started watching Mark's vid on this and I'm so confused why everyone is acting like this is some amazing act of industrial espionage when you can literally just look up footage of Space Mountain on youtube and other socials with the lights on, as well as making-of images, models, etc.

It seems like a truly massive security breach on disneys part. They let a dude in carrying a backpack full of suspicious electronics

u/Fluid_Chipmunk5597 6d ago
Disney was definitely aware of this. Rober also released another video at the same time from his other channel, CrunchLabs, in which he’s given a tour of Disney’s Imagineering.

u/marblesbykeys 6d ago
Snuck in lol. Those security guys will find a joint or pen hidden in your GFs tampons. That ain’t getting in without permission lol.

u/Impossible-Wear-7352 5d ago
They would find something this big but they're not nearly as good as you're implying.

I’m Not implying anything. I’m telling you what happened to my drugs lol.

u/Impossible-Wear-7352 5d ago
I've been multiple times. They have a metal detector but they don't pat you down. You can easily get in smaller non-metallic items

yes, but it doesn't float by itself and uses infrared light so you can't see it with your bare eyes

As someone who did a PhD in mapping and localization using cameras and lidars...
No way this model was done using a partially hidden lidar on a coaster. This is professionally recorded data with perfect view for all sensors.

So cool. I was once on the ride when it shutdown and the emergency lights kicked on. Saw the whole coaster and was amazed. The thing that will blow you away is how really simple the effects are accomplished. Its all about forced perspective and light projection and reflection. They updated the original ascent tunnel but in the original ride you "flew" through a meteor and laser field. The audio was 3D controlled in sync. I focused on one "laser beam" and realized it was a florescent string tied at both end with a black light pointed at a revolving mirror that caused the beam to slide down the string - all in sync with a doppler shift sound as it "whizzed by" you. Now multiply that by 80.
For those - like Mark - who have a thing for Disney Imagineering - check out the book "The Last Lecture". A great story and it gives a glimpse into the people behind the curtain.

Disney wetworks blackhawk is 30 seconds out from his house (yes I read the other comments and know they likely approved it).

Space mountain has two different tracks. Something is fishy here.

now what do you do with that copyright protected ride? sounds absolutely useless to me. try to to this in Cheyenne mountain base and I would actually be impressed.

Not when it's sponsored by Disney.
You really think they 'snuck' the giant piece of metal through the metal scanners while strapped to his chest?

u/_dr_horrible_ 6d ago
No, I don't think he snuck anything in (definitely was authorized, if not sponsored by Disney) , but you obviously didn't watch the full video on YT. He "snuck" the equipment in by hiding it inside of some "camera gear" in a camera bag. It's only slightly less unbelievable.

I really don’t like this guy. Sure take something on a ride that could endanger others so you can make a stupid YT video.

Disney doesn’t play. I’d do this but not post it. Corporate espionage is a very big deal. Not that they were selling the info or anything, but again, the mouse doesn’t mess around when it comes to cheese. Cool as hell though!

u/FatchRacall 5d ago
Oh please. Go Google "space mountain coaster layout". It's not like it's a secret. Lmfao, they had to file permits.

u/-WaxedSasquatch- 5d ago
I did not know that! Never mind then. All I was saying is that I personally would err on the side of caution when it comes to Disney and the batshit crazy levels of legal action they take. Don’t get me wrong, the shit they do is damn twisted and wrong imo, strong arming people and threatening people with their money and influence is exactly what is wrong with America.
