Gaussian Garments: Reconstructing Simulation-Ready Clothing with Photorealistic Appearance from Multi-View Video Contribution quote from the paper: In summary, our main contributions are • a comprehensive pipeline for reconstructing the shape, appearance, and behavior of real-world garments using Gaussian splatting, • an algorithm for registering garment meshes to multi- view videos with an optimization procedure based on Gaussian splatting, and • a Gaussian Garment representation that combines triangle meshes with Gaussian textures to capture photorealistic appearance and can be used as a fully controllable 3D asset.

Taking “AR” videos and running them through a NeRF pipeline is a fun thing to do. Turns out things look even more 🔥 with Gaussian Splatting. But don’t take my word for it. Behold this beauty:

From 2 second (faster on higher end GPUs) Gaussian splat generations, using Apple's "Sharp Monocular View Synthesis in Less Than a Second" code, running locally on my system. Imported into Octane Render 2026 which has fully path traced rendering of Gaussian splats. Stuff like this is why I've been so excited to see where Gaussian splatting research would go. Combined with a real-time Generative AI "renderer" this stuff could start to get quite insane. Combined with Dreams it would be even better ofc :D Code to the Apple code in the comments below.

New paper from Apple - Sharp Monocular View Synthesis in Less than a Second Mescheder et al. @ Apple just released a very impressive paper (congrats! 🎉🥳). You give it an image and it generates a really great looking 3d Gaussian representation. Uses depth pro. It's really good. The model is about 3GB, and takes ~5-10s on my M1 Max per image. Single feedforward pass network. The video is using "Metal Splatter" to view the .ply from ml-sharp on Apple Vision Pro. Some really wow moments today trying it on different scenes.

RT-Splatting: Joint Reflection-Transmission Modeling with Gaussian Splatting Contributions: • We introduce a unified surface-volume Gaussian scene representation for jointly modeling sharp specular reflections and clear transmission in real-world scenes containing thin semi-transparent surfaces. • We propose Specular-Aware Gradient Gating to suppress misleading gradients from complex specular regions, substantially reducing floaters in the transmission branch. • Extensive experiments demonstrate that RT-Splatting significantly outperforms prior methods while maintaining real-time rendering and enabling flexible scene editing.

4DGT: Learning a 4D Gaussian Transformer Using Real-World Monocular Videos Abstract: We propose 4DGT, a 4D Gaussian-based Transformer model for dynamic scene reconstruction, trained entirely on real-world monocular posed videos. Using 4D Gaussian as an inductive bias, 4DGT unifies static and dynamic components, enabling the modeling of complex, time-varying environments with varying object lifespans. We introduced a novel density control strategy in training, which allows our 4DGT to handle longer space-time input while maintaining efficient rendering at runtime. Our model processes 64 consecutive posed frames in a rolling-window fashion, predicting consistent 4D Gaussians in the scene. Unlike optimization-based methods, 4DGT performs purely feed-forward inference, reducing reconstruction time from hours to seconds and scaling effectively to long video sequences. Trained only on large-scale monocular posed video datasets, 4DGT can significantly outperform prior Gaussian-based networks in real-world videos and achieve on-par accuracy with optimization-based methods on cross-domain videos.

📢Happy to present Convex Splatting, a novel way for 3D reconstruction based on 3D smooth convexes. For the first time, a splatting-based method reaches the quality of NeRF sota methods but with real-time rendering and few primitives!! I expect this to replace Gaussian splatting for 3D in the coming months. CODE RELEASED TODAY! joint work with collaborators from Université de Liège Visual Geometry Group (VGG) , KAUST Computer Vision Lab (IVUL) a thread 🧵 1/n

From 2D video to a very rough 4D Gaussian Splatting POC on the Apple Vision Pro 👀 Took Big Buck Bunny frames, turned them into Gaussian splats with Sharp (Apple), compressed them with PlayCanvas splat transform to SOG, and played all frames via WebXR + spark Still rough and not fully optimized, but wow, dynamic GS in AVP feels wild 🤯 Second part of the video is on my laptop #threejs

I'm testing tree generation using only two reference images. Basically, my Gaussian Splatting generation technique works with almost anything. I can't wait to see the final result once I’ve gathered a huge library of realistic assets for my game. For optimization, I’m planning to use a LOD system that dynamically reduces the number of Gaussian splats based on the distance from the camera.

GS^3: Efficient Relighting with Triple Gaussian Splatting Abstract: We present a spatial and angular Gaussian based representation and a triple splatting process, for real-time, high-quality novel lighting-and-view synthesis from multi-view point-lit input images. To describe complex ap pearance, we employ a Lambertian plus a mixture of angular Gaussians as an effective reflectance function for each spatial Gaussian. To generate self-shadow, we splat all spatial Gaussians towards the light source to obtain shadow values, which are further refined by a small multi-layer perceptron. To compensate for other effects like global illumination, another network is trained to compute and add a per-spatial-Gaussian RGB tuple. The effectiveness of our representation is demonstrated on 30 samples with a wide variation in geometry (from solid to fluffy) and appearance (from translucent to anisotropic), as well as using different forms of input data, including rendered images of synthetic/reconstructed objects, photographs captured with a handheld camera and a flash, or from a professional lightstage. We achieve a training time of 40-70 minutes and a rendering speed of 90 fps on a single commodity GPU. Our results compare favorably with state-of-the-art techniques in terms of quality/performance.

MAGS-SLAM: Monocular Multi-Agent Gaussian Splatting SLAM for Geometrically and Photometrically Consistent Reconstruction TL;DR: The first RGB-only multi-agent 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM for collaborative photorealistic scene reconstruction. Contributions: (1) We propose the first monocular RGB-only multi-agent 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM system. It integrates Gaussian front-ends, compact submap summaries, inter-agent verification, Sim(3) submap pose graph, and occupancy-aware fusion into a unified framework, achieving accurate tracking and photorealistic reconstruction without depth sensors. (2) We propose a Pose-Graph Bundle Adjustment (PGBA)-consistent Sim(3) loop closure mechanism for multi-agent systems, which jointly resolves intra- and inter-agent scale drift through a submap-level Sim(3) pose graph coupling geometric and photometric residuals. Robustness is ensured by a spatial-extent gate that rejects degenerate loops and an adaptive edge invalidation scheme consistent with evolving PGBA corrections. (3) We propose an occupancy-aware fusion framework for coherent multi-agent Gaussian maps. It combines occupancy-grid deduplication, decoupled coordinator, and joint pose-Gaussian photometric refinement to eliminate duplicated Gaussians, residual misalignment, and photometric seams across agents. (4) We introduce ReplicaMultiagent Plus dataset. While existing multi-agent datasets are typically limited to 2-3 agents with short trajectories, our dataset scales to 4 agents with long-horizon trajectories. In addition, we provide ground-truth geometry and semantic annotations, supporting the evaluation of monocular, RGB-D, and semantic multi-agent SLAM for collaborative dense reconstruction.
