@OTOY Octane 2026 also provides access to Gaussian Splat AOVs
These AOVs break out the splat asset directly from your 3D scene - which can be great for compositing, but also just look really cool solo'd independent from the shading and background while still retaining the tint recoloring.
1/ We have been quiet for a year. Not because we had nothing to say, but because we were busy building something big. For over two years we have been working on a completely new generation of World Creator, plus a few other products. Today is about World Creator. Thread.
@nosemangr That’s like having Einstein break down the theory of relativity 😆 low key Dom is a GOAT!!! Luckily it’s the weekend - I can watch this 3x through
Migrating dense and heavy assets from traditional 3D into Gaussian Splat format is really great. If anything, just having real-time assets to use on-demand is so cool. With @rendernetwork I take assets or full scenes, send a couple hundred renders to capture the details with my custom lighting and shaders, grab a coffee and then send pull the renders to run a CLI splat training and that’s it!
So many more splats coming soon but in the mean time here’s a @Blender favorite to play around with 🤘
