A new player has entered the radiance field ecosystem and Mac users should rejoice. ANNX Studio is a powerful, user-friendly platform for Gaussian Splatting workflows, offering cross-platform support and integrated tooling that sets it apart from many of today’s offerings.
One of ANNX Studio’s headline features is its accessibility. Unlike many Gaussian Splatting pipelines that rely on GPU-heavy Windows or Linux setups, ANNX Studio supports training and viewing directly on macOS, in addition to Windows and the web.
It’s incredibly simple to install, with a single download button. For fans of Arthur Brussee’s Brush, ANNX Studio will feel familiar—Brush powers the core of the platform. What makes ANNX Studio particularly compelling, beyond its fully fleshed-out GUI, is its inclusion of Structure from Motion (SfM) capabilities.
While Brush can process already aligned captures, users typically need to run COLMAP or RealityCapture beforehand to generate camera poses. ANNX Studio removes that friction: you can drop in your images or video, and it handles SfM internally. You even get togglable options for feature matching and extraction, offering more control over the reconstruction process.
Once your capture has finished training, you can seamlessly move into post-processing. ANNX Studio comes with the open source 3DGS editor SuperSplat fully integrated, making it easy to crop floaters, resize splats, or fine-tune the result, all within the same platform.
The platform uses a credit-based pricing system, with both free and paid tiers. Paid options include features like exporting trained .ply files.
For Mac users looking to harness Brush’s capabilities without needing to manually align cameras, ANNX Studio is a big step forward. Brush still remains free and open-source for those who prefer to stay hands-on, but ANNX Studio wraps the full pipeline in a far more approachable package. ANNX Studio can be downloaded here.
