@RadianceFields Kudos to the Technical Director for figuring out that pipeline

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

@kotohibi_3d High praise for @janusch_patas & @lichtfeldstudio 👏

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

Wow... Just... This is awesome

#GaussianSplatting are impossible to animate.

Lazar Bogdan made this tutorial to prove otherwise: https://t.co/iA6eN8U03S

It is 1h 20 min and covers on how to rig, skin and animate a fly in Houdini.

This is the type of finding I share with the Pro members of my newsletter XR AI Spotlight, every week.

I spend countless hours finding and curating the latest updates and valuable resources for professionals and creatives at the intersection of hashtag#3D, hashtag#XR and hashtag#AI.

@RadianceFields @RealityCapture_ Unfortunately, a few 360-users for GS applications dug into this feature and found it significantly lacking for what it purported to be.

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

wait.... not only is "RS's 360 support" merely a web app that splits 360 images into cubemaps but....

the generated XMP files don't set a rig constraint for the cropped views so you STILL end up with imperfect alignment between the views?

huh??

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

@janusch_patas Is there any instancing-type optimization that occurs due to multiple large scenes in the same space?

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

@janusch_patas ...if only it were as good as other tools /sarcasm

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

@GabRoXR Shots fired!

I'm excited to share the Geo Register Plugin for LichtFeld Studio from the LichtFeld community!

This plugin helps bring Gaussian splat scenes into real-world geographic space. It registers a scene to WGS-84 and ECEF coordinates, so you can click any point on the model and get its latitude, longitude and altitude.

It supports multiple georeferencing sources, including EXIF GPS data, image position CSVs, RealityScan camera parameters and saved similarity transforms. Once the scene is registered, you can export geo-referenced splat models as LAS, LAZ or 3D Tiles datasets for use in GIS and 3D mapping workflows.

Built for anyone working with drone data, photogrammetry, Gaussian splatting, GIS, ArcGIS or CesiumJS.

@janusch_patas Beautiful.

[Niantic Spatial 🌎 @NianticSpatial]

SPZ 4 is here. 🚀

3–5x faster encoding. 2x faster loading. 20x faster in the browser. Tens of millions of points, no sweat.

The "JPG for 3D Gaussian splats" just leveled up. Big thanks to everyone who made this release happen, especially the team at @Adobe.

@janusch_patas Absolutely reasonable modification for ongoing support. "Freemium" is the ony proven path for open source development outside of an overwhelming corporate sponsorship.

@lichtfeldstudio If Mykonos can't be made public, maybe the follow up 'Santorini' can... 😉

@RadianceFields @andrewpprice Fact Check: ✅ TRUE

@janusch_patas @VolingaAI The interlinkage with UE is going to be a major boon for 3DGS and all kinds of 3D applications.

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

@janusch_patas So now we've got the most accurate collision mesh for a 3DGS scene or object? Nifty.

[Rob Sloan @robmakes3d]

Excellent, excellent news!

[MrNeRF @janusch_patas]

I am proud to announce that @VolingaAI has joined LichtFeld Studio as a Gold Sponsor.

As a key player in the 3DGS world, Volinga is not only supporting LichtFeld Studio financially, but will also help us implement HDR support and actively use LichtFeld Studio within its 3DGS training pipeline.
