Introduction​

This module brings the trained model into Blender. You import the splat, learn what you can and cannot do to it, and measure on top of it — including where a splat model must be paired with mesh content before a measurement can be trusted. By the end the splat sits in your scene next to the rest of your evidence.

Learning Outcomes​

By the end of this module you will be able to:

  1. Import a trained splat model into Blender and place it against source footage
  2. State what a splat model supports in Blender and what it does not — editability, measurement, export
  3. Measure on top of a splat reconstruction, using the shared measurements reference
  4. Combine splat and mesh content in one scene, with the limits stated

Module Contents​

Blender Integration· 15 min read

The import, the supported operations, and the workflow for placing a splat against source footage.

You'll learn: Where a splat model fits in a Blender scene — and where it needs mesh content beside it.

Measurements, Scale & Dimension· 12 min read

The shared measurements reference: precise measurement on top of a reconstruction, applied here to splats.

You'll learn: How to measure a splat reconstruction defensibly, and when the answer is "not from the splat alone".
