Tools, Workflows, and Optimizations for Gaussian Splatting

Subscribe to XR AI Spotlight weekly newsletter 👉 https://xraispotlight.substack.com/ Olli Huttunen is an entrepreneur, video editor, 3D specialist, software developer and a real authority when it comes to Gaussian Splatting. I got to know Olli thanks to his Youtube channel (@OlliHuttunen78 ) a priceless resource for anybody who wants to dive into this new 3D paradigm and today we take a deep dive into the world of Gaussian splatting: - Olli explains why PostShot is his favorite tool and how to make the most out of it - He shares best practices to minimize file sizes - He tells us about a Blender add-on he has developed to create virtual camera arrays and why turning a mesh into a splat is not as dumb as it sounds - And how the capabilities of the same camera array tool can be pushed even further to create synthetic 4DGS *** OUR SPONSOR Meshy empowers XR content creators to bring their visions to life with a toolkit for creating 3D models in seconds.
