Just in time for the long weekend. If you saw earlier this week that 3DGS can now be viewed in nerfstudio, but didn’t know how to get it running, Jonathan Stephens has a brand new tutorial for you. This time he’s showcasing how to install the necessary submodules into nerfstudio to allow you to visualize your 3DGS.

Using the nerfstudio viewer is so much easier than the out of the box SIBR method and allows you to create your own camera path that you can render out. So no more recording your screen, just to show what you’ve created.

Give it a watch and make sure to subscribe to Jonathan’s channel!
