A comprehensive guide to capturing real-world objects and processing them into performant Gaussian Splatting files for the web.
Gaussian Splatting is the next frontier of 3D capture. Unlike photogrammetry, which generates complex meshes, 3DGS creates a cloud of expressive points that can represent transparency and complex lighting...
Ensure 60-80% overlap between photos and vary elevation angles.
Use COLMAP or cloud-based engines like Luma AI to generate the initial point cloud.
Convert the .ply files into .splat or .ksplat for 10x faster loading.
