How to Create Gaussian Splats with nerfstudio

Resident NeRF Guru/tutorial creator, Jonathan Stephens is back with another guide. This one has been long requested on the nerfstudio discord and the subject is how to create gaussian splats with nerfstudio.

Previously he’s created videos on how to set up the original gaussian splatting tutorial and how to view gaussian splatting in nerfstudio.

To follow along with the video, Jonathan has created a standalone Github page, complete with code to be inserted. I also have a how to use nerfstudio guide that I created last year for custom data sets. I have also updated it to include gaussian splatting code.
