Postshot

Postshot, a pioneering German radiance field company, has been making waves since its Beta launch on December 20th, 2023. For those unfamiliar, radiance field technology is at the forefront of creating hyperrealistic 3D environments, and Postshot has quickly emerged as a leading platform. Its approach ensures that all data is processed locally, providing data security by ensuring it never leaves your computer.

Exclusively available for Windows users, Postshot simplifies access with a one click download system and offers an intuitive selection of settings for user friendly interaction with digital scenes. It is easily the most approachable for non technical users of all the locally training radiance field platforms. Although currently limited to Windows, potential expansion to other operating systems could broaden its accessibility in the future. A NVIDIA GPU is necessary to run Postshot.

Previously they offered both proprietary implementations of NeRFs and Gaussian Splatting. However, as of today, only gaussian splatting is continued to be supported.

For nearly the first two years of its existence, Postshot was completely free to use. However, with their most recent major release, they now offer a tiered approach. A free tier remains for users, though to export out a .ply, you will need a paid subscription.

Since Postshot's original release, they have expanded their offering to also include 3DGS MCMC and the Splat3 profile. Additionally, Postshot has taken steps to give users more control over parameters, such as specifying how many images frames they would like to use, the max splat count, and how many steps should the model be trained to.

Postshot has been used in several media campaigns, including Usher’s most recent music video for “Ruin”. This showcases Postshot’s practical application in professional editing, where its .psht files can be seamlessly exported directly into After Effects, streamlining the post-production process.

Postshot is available to download from Jawset.com and is currently only available on Windows. For any feedback, please send your questions and feedback via Discord or email to support@jawset.com. Postshot is unfortunately not available for Mac.
