Importing, editing, and rendering Gaussian Splats within Blender for investigation workflows.
Importing, editing, and rendering Gaussian Splats within Blender for investigation workflows.
Bringing a trained splat model into Blender — import, measurement on top of splats, and the presentation of a splat reconstruction alongside mesh content.
A node-based Gaussian Splatting toolkit for Blender, built on Geometry Nodes and EEVEE, letting you add, edit, and render splats natively without an external viewer or render engine.
Point-based radiance field reconstruction workflow for fast scene visualization from image or video captures.
Full course overview, prerequisites, learning objectives, and module breakdown.
Dive into the technical foundations — how Gaussians are represented, optimized, and rendered.
The representation under the method — what a Gaussian splat is, how a trained model differs from a mesh, and why the difference changes what a reconstruction can claim.
Evidentiary considerations, documentation requirements, and methodology for using GS in visual investigation.
A Blender addon for importing, editing, and rendering KIRI Engine's 3D Gaussian Splats directly in Blender.
LichtFeld Studio is a free, open-source desktop workstation for training, inspecting, editing, and exporting 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes.
Methods for establishing scale, taking measurements, and determining dimensions from visual evidence.
Paid Blender addon by ToppiNappi that merges multiple COLMAP scans into one clean dataset: import, level, align with point pairs, and export a merged COLMAP package ready for Gaussian Splatting training.
The full workflow from raw footage to a trained Gaussian Splat model.
Postshot is a free desktop app and Blender add-on by Jawset that trains 3D Gaussian splats and meshes from photos or video.
A Blender addon for creating 3D Gaussian Splats from drone footage, handling the full pipeline from video import to training.
Spirula Studio is a free, open-source 3D Gaussian Splatting trainer that runs a photo or video capture to a splat and a textured mesh in one desktop binary.
The practical walkthrough — plan a capture, train the model, and quality-check the result, with the failure modes that matter for an investigation.
Survey the available tools, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to choose the right one.
Understand the core idea behind 3D Gaussian Splatting — what it is, where it came from, and why it matters for visual investigation.
