3D Gaussian Splatting UE5

Akiya Research continues to release updates for their 3D Gaussians plugin for Unreal Engine 5. In the latest update, now you can merge multiple splats into the same file. Additionally, you can crop the scene and export the combined splats into a single .ply file.

Check out the full changelog, here!

This is the latest update to the plugin. Most recently, Akiya Research had introduced VR support for 3D Gaussian Splatting UE5.

Because the end file results as a .ply, it is compatible with other viewers, including the SIBR viewer or Polycam.

3D Gaussians plugin continues to be available from the Unreal Engine Store for $99. It still has not been confirmed whether or not you can use this for commercial purposes, so please exercise caution.
