Volinga LichtFeld Studio

Volinga has joined LichtFeld Studio as a Gold Sponsor with $15,000 in annual support. It is the latest sign that LichtFeld is establishing itself as one of the few open-source 3DGS platforms attracting sustained commercial backing — not just community interest, but investment from companies building real production workflows around Gaussian Splatting.

The fit between the two is straightforward. LichtFeld Studio covers the upstream side of 3DGS: training, inspection, editing, and automation inside one open, native workspace. Volinga sits downstream, moving splat-based assets into production for VFX, virtual production, broadcast, and film through its Suite and integrations for Unreal Engine, Pixotope, Disguise, and other deployment environments. Better open tooling upstream directly benefits what is possible downstream.

Volinga has argued that 2025 was the year 3DGS moved from research curiosity to production-ready technology, with 2026 bringing wider adoption and stronger interoperability. Supporting LichtFeld Studio fits that thesis directly. As splats move into professional pipelines, studios need open, full-workflow tooling they can build around, and LichtFeld Studio provides exactly that.

“At Volinga, we believe 3DGS reaches its full potential only when the entire ecosystem moves forward together. LichtFeld Studio is doing exactly the kind of foundational, open work that makes professional adoption possible and that makes this partnership a natural fit.”
