@JDihlmann Gaussian splatting together with generative AI will be core to how we produce and consume media in the near future, I think. Development in this area is nuts!

@JDihlmann I totally agree. We will see much more of it in the near future. However, it is not totally clear to me which reconstruction method will make it. Perhaps there will be something new more advanced around the corner and everybody will switch. Time will tell..

Excited to share our new #SIGGRAPH2025 paper! In this work, we show how to combine Gaussian splatting and computer-generated holography using Gaussian Wave Splatting. This enables photorealistic 3D holograms for emerging holographic VR/AR displays. 1/4

⚡ Ray Tracing + 3D Gaussians = New Possibilities! Gaussian splatting is limited by rasterization—our #SIGGRAPHAsia2024 paper shows how to ray trace instead, enabling reflections, shadows, fisheye cameras, and more. The most important (and hardest!) part is making it fast. (1/N)

I like big splats and I cannot lie. PlayCanvas's new LOD streaming system for 3D Gaussian Splatting is a big deal. It's a key step towards splatting the world and making it explorable. Check out a live demo below in your browser.

📢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

HoGS: Unified Near and Far Object Reconstruction via Homogeneous Gaussian Splatting Contributions: First, we propose Homogeneous Gaussian Splatting (HoGS), a novel method adopting homogeneous coordinates to represent positions and scales of 3DGS for realistic and real-time rendering of both near and far objects. Second, despite the ultimate simplicity of HoGS, our method achieves state-of-the-art NVS results compared to other implicit and explicit representations.

Drivable 3D Gaussian Avatars paper page: present Drivable 3D Gaussian Avatars (D3GA), the first 3D controllable model for human bodies rendered with Gaussian splats. Current photorealistic drivable avatars require either accurate 3D registrations during training, dense input images during testing, or both. The ones based on neural radiance fields also tend to be prohibitively slow for telepresence applications. This work uses the recently presented 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technique to render realistic humans at real-time framerates, using dense calibrated multi-view videos as input. To deform those primitives, we depart from the commonly used point deformation method of linear blend skinning (LBS) and use a classic volumetric deformation method: cage deformations. Given their smaller size, we drive these deformations with joint angles and keypoints, which are more suitable for communication applications. Our experiments on nine subjects with varied body shapes, clothes, and motions obtain higher-quality results than state-of-the-art methods when using the same training and test data.

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.

📢 I’m testing ViggleAI new AI tool, PINOC, and it’s seriously impressive. You can create 3D Gaussian splatting models from just one image and animate them with a video! It’s the first AI I’ve tried that can animate Gaussian splatting models. I also talked to someone from Viggle, and they might add the option to import your own Gaussian splatting models and animate them. If that happens, I’ll probably make a video tutorial showing how to boost the detail level of a Gaussian splatting model by 4x to create highly realistic animated characters.

Introducing ShapeR, a method for robust conditional 3D shape generation from casually captured sequences. ShapeR leverages a rectified flow transformer conditioned on per-object multimodal data to turn casual image sequences into full metric scene reconstructions.

Is 3D scene generation much closer to being solved all of a sudden? It has been a few days since the release of OpenAI Sora. We run our COLMAP-Free 3D Gaussian Splatting on the released videos. Our method does not need to pre-process cameras and it seems we can directly just get 3D from the videos. Check out our results here. 🧵👇 (1/n

Nvidia announces GAvatar: Animatable 3D Gaussian Avatars with Implicit Mesh Learning paper page: Gaussian splatting has emerged as a powerful 3D representation that harnesses the advantages of both explicit (mesh) and implicit (NeRF) 3D representations. In this paper, we seek to leverage Gaussian splatting to generate realistic animatable avatars from textual descriptions, addressing the limitations (e.g., flexibility and efficiency) imposed by mesh or NeRF-based representations. However, a naive application of Gaussian splatting cannot generate high-quality animatable avatars and suffers from learning instability; it also cannot capture fine avatar geometries and often leads to degenerate body parts. To tackle these problems, we first propose a primitive-based 3D Gaussian representation where Gaussians are defined inside pose-driven primitives to facilitate animation. Second, to stabilize and amortize the learning of millions of Gaussians, we propose to use neural implicit fields to predict the Gaussian attributes (e.g., colors). Finally, to capture fine avatar geometries and extract detailed meshes, we propose a novel SDF-based implicit mesh learning approach for 3D Gaussians that regularizes the underlying geometries and extracts highly detailed textured meshes. Our proposed method, GAvatar, enables the large-scale generation of diverse animatable avatars using only text prompts. GAvatar significantly surpasses existing methods in terms of both appearance and geometry quality, and achieves extremely fast rendering (100 fps) at 1K resolution.
