AI-Enhanced LiDAR. Left vs right. A real LiDAR device costs thousands of dollars. What's in your iPhone Pro is a "baby LiDAR". Limited depth resolution, noisy output, not really built for high-precision 3D. You can't change the hardware. So we built an ML layer on top. Denoising, geometry completion, detail recovery. Processed server-side. Same sensor. Very different result.

We're giving away $32,600 of models for free 😉 All jokes aside it's actually a pretty good kit for urban environments so we hope it's useful to someone. Download in the comments

A new #Blender version has been released and there's a lot of good talk about optimizations and speed ups 🏃‍♀️ But why has no-one mentioned we can turn our 3D scenes and models into cartoons so easily now 🤩 Grab the free demo file to try it out!

Tested Claude + Blender today with two real workflows. Sharing what actually happened. First one was a simple demo. Gave it one sentence to build a cyberpunk room. Geometry, lighting, camera, render. It got there, though not everything in the prompt landed perfectly. Good enough to show the concept, not a stress test. Second one was more interesting. Threw a raw photogrammetry scan at it. Massey Ferguson tractor, 250k faces, grass background everywhere, debris floating all over the place. Asked Claude to clean it up autonomously. It did the work. Removed 106 floating chunks, cut face count by 87%, stripped the grass, flipped the model upright, set up studio lighting and rendered. Technically it worked. But honest answer: the result wasn't clean enough for production. This kind of cleanup still needs the right tools and someone who knows what they're doing. So here's where it actually fits. Not the precise technical stuff. The setup work. The repetitive stuff. The things that take forever if you don't already know Blender. It won't replace your 3D artist. It replaces the boring part before they start.

Apple just trained a 3D Gaussian head reconstruction model on 10,000+ subjects. Feed-forward. No test-time optimization. New identity in, reconstructed Gaussian head out. The UV-parameterized Gaussian representation decouples the number of Gaussians from the number and resolution of input images, making it practical to train with many high resolution views. And the heads are not just static either: text-conditioned identity generation, plus blendshape-driven latent animation across identities. We've been building in the 3D Gaussian Splatting space for a while. The gap between "research demo" and "works on real people at scale" is closing fast.

We have a new FREE tool coming soon - perfect for 3D environments 🌎 But we need your help naming it! It can 'wrap' a 3d scan of bricks, terrain, surfaces etc, onto a base mesh without the flattening classic shrink-wrap methods usually cause. 🏔️ We're thinking something like Mesh Wrap.....Terrain Wrap....Any better ideas? 💡

ML SHARP is an exciting example of how far single Image 3D inference has come🤯 At KIRI Engine, our focus has always been slightly different🌍🌕 We build tools for capturing the physical world as it is, not approximating it📷 When real world accuracy, editability, and geometric consistency matter, reliable scanning remains essential😝 Different approaches solve different problems⚙️

Shooting massive photogrammetry datasets while traveling is amazing. Sorting 5,000 messy RAW files into individual scanning sessions when you get home? An absolute nightmare. 🤬 We got tired of doing it manually, so we built an internal tool. It uses EXIF time-gaps and OpenCV feature-matching to automatically sort your camera dumps into session folders. We love making free tools for the 3D community. Should we polish this up and release it for everyone? Let us know if it's worth a release

I tested Seedance 2.0 using footage of Jack capturing a 3DGS scan🤩 Video 1 → generate a clip where he’s filming and dancing while promoting our PhotoScan + 3DGS Video 2 → generate a full KIRI Engine promo video The results were wild🤯 It didn’t just generate visuals. It synced sound, motion, and effects surprisingly well. Sure, there were some clipping artifacts… but honestly, it’s still insanely impressive😺 And the craziest part? Both videos together cost me about $0.14 USD...💰

Automated PBR Textures. Flat color vs PBR. Normal 3D scans only capture raw color. They bake in shadows and have zero material data. Drop them into a modern lighting engine, and they look lifeless because they don’t know what’s shiny or matte. So we built an automated PBR export. Delit Base Color, Roughness, and Metalness—all output alongside your geometry. Is it 100% flawless every time? No. But it gives you a massive, creative head start. With some tweaking and layering, get the exact look you want in minutes instead of hand painting for hours.

I can't believe this is actually possible now We've all been told in the past: 'you can't scan thin surfaces' but with our new 3DGS-to-Mesh 3.0 methods we scanned a flower! From the featureless base, to incredibly thin stems, to even the petals (?!) the output is a clean, defined mesh

3D Gaussian Splatting inside Godot🎮 Instead of forcing splats into a mesh pipeline, this project adds a separate rendering pass🤩 and blends it after mesh rendering. And yeah, it’s fully open source🥳

Normally, 3D Gaussian Splatting stops at “pretty renders”. 😎 Our 3DGS→Mesh 2.0 doesn’t stop there. 😤 We merged mesh generation into Gaussian optimization itself 🧭— predicting normals, filtering reflections✨, and forming surfaces as it trains. Result: manifold, reflection-aware mesh from pure Gaussians🚀

Mind blown by this new CVPR 2026 paper: tttLRM🤯 It introduces a Test-Time Training layer for long-context autoregressive 3D reconstruction with linear complexity. Multiple image observations are compressed into fast weights that keep updating during inference, forming an implicit scene representation that can be decoded into explicit formats such as 3D Gaussian Splats. Progressive 3D reconstruction from streaming inputs is getting wild🥳It’s interesting to see how AI inference and real-world capture are starting to converge.

We just released a new FREE tool for 3D creators and 3D scan lovers 🤩 There are already some great scatter addons available, but most are pretty pricey so we wanted to make one everyone can afford. It's got 3 modes for different use cases: Physics: drop and throw objects with gravity and forces Click: Paint assets into your scene by clicking on surfaces Simple: Classic procedural scattering

Animating Gaussian Splats: If you have an object that has a hinge-like movements (like robotic joints) you can easily split the model up into separate parts and animate each as a full object. Tried it on this incredible scan by Dany Bittel it's a bit janky but still so fun!
