The official reference implementation of 3D Gaussian Splatting, a method for real-time radiance field rendering that reconstructs scenes from photos into 3D Gaussians. It supports training from calibrated image sets and real-time (≥30 fps) 1080p novel-view synthesis.

Use cases

• reconstruct 3D scenes from photos
• render novel views of a captured scene in real time
• train a radiance field model on my own image dataset
• reproduce results from the 3D Gaussian Splatting paper
• build 3D Gaussian splatting research on top of a reference codebase

When to choose

• you want the canonical, paper-faithful implementation of 3D Gaussian Splatting
• you need high-quality real-time novel-view synthesis at 1080p
• you have GPU resources and calibrated multi-view images
• you are doing graphics or vision research on radiance fields

When to avoid

• you need a permissively licensed library for commercial products (license is custom/non-standard)
• you have no CUDA-capable GPU
• you want a polished end-user photogrammetry application rather than research code
• you need simple object scanning with minimal setup
