Computer Graphics Engineer Intern (3DGS for VR Game)

**Context** Metalograms is bridging the gap between cinema and gaming. We use **3D \& 4D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS/4DGS)** to bring photorealistic volumetric video to VR. Our next milestone is to launch the development of an **XR video game** showcasing the potential of this technology. **Missions** Based on your interests and technical strengths you will focus on one or more areas : XR Game prototyping (Decoding / Rendering) * First Playable Prototype: Creation of a **VR Arcade demo** using GS assets as the primary visual medium. * Engine Integration: Port our custom GS Vulkan/OpenGL viewers into **Unity, Unreal, or Godot** * **Graphics Optimization** to reach 72 FPS in VR (compute shader, IA upscale, OpenXR, benchmarking implementations, etc…) Assets \& Pipeline (Encoding / Training) * Automate the 4DGS generation (.ply, Colmap/SFM \+ GS training, Computer Vision) * **R\&D:** Test and merge SOTA research (PyTorch/CUDA, ML) to enhance the visual fidelity of the game's volumetric environments. **Requirements** * Education: B.S. or M.S. **student** in Computer Engineering or Computer Science, specializing in **Computer Graphics** or **Game Development** * Technical Core: Solid knowledge of **OpenGL/Vulkan** and **Shaders** is required. * Bonus : Familiarity with Machine Learning / Deep Learning, Parallel Computing (CUDA, Compute shader, or OpenCL) or Gaussian Splatting is a plus. * Profile: Strong autonomy, self-learner and passionate about real-time rendering, ML or CV **Conditions** * Duration: 3 to 6 months. Starting Date: Spring/Summer * Agreement: internship agreement needed with school * Compensation: \~690€ (26,25€ / day) \+ transport allowance * Location: **Bordeaux** Center (startup coworking space) Rémunération : 690,00€ par mois Lieu du poste : En présentiel
