Gökay Aydoğan has released World to World Mapping, an agent skill that guides a coding agent through rebuilding a gaussian splat as an editable native Blender scene.
Splats have reached Blender before through add-ons, including a Gaussian Frosting plugin that meshed captures with SuGaR or Frosting, and Blender 5.3 will bring native 3D Gaussian splat import and rendering. World to World Mapping uses the splat only as measurement and visual evidence. The agent establishes a measured coordinate frame and matching cameras, splits the scene into semantic parts, and builds each part from Geometry Nodes on empty mesh hosts, with Shader Nodes materials and exposed parameters. The README calls it "an agent-guided reconstruction workflow, not a one-click splat-to-mesh converter."
Aydoğan, who lists fal as his company on GitHub, built the skill from a study of the Mip-NeRF 360 Garden scene. The Garden rebuild generates ground, table, vase, tree, shrubs, boundary and structures as seven procedural parts with fitted parameters. The repository states that no claim of perfect replication is made, and that construction, foliage, surface response and light still differ visibly.
A native scene audit removes the reference splat in memory and compares evaluated mesh and instance signatures. Render and comparison scripts pair Blender frames with reference frames from one shared camera manifest. In the README's wording, an audit pass "proves specific structural checks" and "does not prove visual resemblance."
An optional hybrid mode projects calibrated captures onto UV copies of the reconstructed surfaces in three steps, prepare, project and assemble, falling back to the original material wherever a surface was unseen. Mapped surfaces become baked meshes with packed textures that need rebaking after geometry or UV edits, while untouched parts keep their live node graphs. Neither the unlit captured radiance mode nor an approximate lit mode recovers clean physical albedo.
World to World Mapping bundles no automatic semantic segmentation, universal splat decoder or reference renderer, and its asset inspector reads only limited PLY, SPLAT and KSPLAT metadata. The skill installs through npx skills add, the Claude Code plugin marketplace, or a manual copy for Codex, and requires Python 3.10 or later and Blender 5.0 or later, with local verification on Blender 5.0.1.
World to World Mapping is available on GitHub under the MIT license.
