Splats are getting larger and more detailed. The dataset for this scan of Koriyama Castle in Japan is half a gigabyte. But it loads nearly instantly. Imagine being able to visit perfect digital copies of any location in the world - this is where SuperSplat is heading. [1 / 2]

splat-transform is a free and open source library and CLI tool for processing 3D Gaussian splats. It can create lightweight, accurate, voxel-based collision at scale. No human intervention required. This gym scene's voxels are perfectly generated - even large fully transparent windows are correctly filled. The voxel data file is 118KB. Start building 3D Gaussian splat apps today with PlayCanvas and splat-transform. 🧑💻

The PlayCanvas team has solved collision for 3D Gaussian splats. Install splat-transform via NPM to get a CLI tool + library that can output high quality voxel-based collision. Here you can see a splat navigated in first person mode with voxel rendering toggled on/off. 🧵

SuperSplat's voxel collision is a game changer for 3D Gaussian splat creators. Generate a highly accurate, inescapable voxel representation of any splat, regardless of quality. Generation is performed on the GPU, so it's super-fast. The voxel representation is tiny - only 418KB for this scene. And all this magic is free and open source, courtesy of the splat-transform library from PlayCanvas.
