Battle, n.:
A method of untying with the teeth a political knot that
will not yield to the tongue.

Cassie, the 13 year old floof owned by my daughter, had a tough week. She spent a full day at the vet for teeth cleaning and has spent 2 days recovering from the anesthetic. She's not looking too pleased right now.

Yay! Colorado officially recognizes that mental health IS physical health! Our bodies DO include our brains.
Next, we need to legislate financial support for medical problems with ears, eyes and teeth. Hell, throw in food, water and housing--NOW we're getting civilized. https://newsbeep.org/@us/1158286950032

Abstract: Creating high-fidelity, real-time drivable 3D head avatars is a core challenge in digital animation. While 3D Gaussian Splashing (3D-GS) offers unprecedented rendering speed and quality, current animation techniques often rely on a "one-size-fits-all" global tuning approach, where all Gaussian primitives are uniformly driven by a single expression code. This simplistic approach fails to unravel the distinct dynamics of different facial regions, such as deformable skin versus rigid teeth, leading to significant blurring and distortion artifacts. We introduce Conditionally-Adaptive Gaussian Avatars (CAG-Avatar), a framework that resolves this key limitation. At its core is a Conditionally Adaptive Fusion Module built on cross-attention. This mechanism empowers each 3D Gaussian to act as a query, adaptively extracting relevant driving signals from the global expression code based on its canonical position. This "tailor-made" conditioning strategy drastically enhances the modeling of fine-grained, localized dynamics. Our experiments confirm a significant improvement in reconstruction fidelity, particularly for challenging regions such as teeth, while preserving real-time rendering performance.
