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 hyper-realistic 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. It ingeniously bypasses the command line interface, offering 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.

They have proprietary implementations of both NeRFs and 3D Gaussian Splatting. The platform accommodates commercial usage, catering to a range of projects.

Since Postshot's original release, they have expanded their offering to also include 3DGS MCMC, which is able to reconstruct more details than the original 3DGS. 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.

Also, users now have the ability to create a sky model around their capture.

There are different NeRF training levels based on GPU capacity:

• S Mode: Ideal for basic, toy-like testing.

• M Mode: A significant upgrade, allowing for the capture of real scenes with minimal memory requirements.

• L Mode: The recommended default for producing high-quality images.

• XL and XXL Modes: Designed for achieving fine detail in the center of scenes or managing large-scale scenes.

Postshot also allows users to watch their radiance fields form as they train, giving users the ability to gauge fidelity early. Additionally, watching radiance fields converge has proven mesmerizing.

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.
