This Blender addon streamlines the process of working with 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting) scans in your 3D projects. Here's what it offers:
- Automatic Conversion: Seamlessly transforms.ply scan files into Blender-compatible objects.
- Eevee Compatibility: Converted objects are fully renderable with Blender's Eevee engine.
- Full Object Control: Manipulate your imported scans just like any other Blender object:
- Move, scale, and rotate with precision
- Easily duplicate to populate your scenes
- Advanced Lighting Integration:
- Light-Reactive Objects: Imported scans fully interact with scene lighting for realistic rendering
- Option for shadeless display to preserve the raw scan appearance
- Seamlessly blend scans with other 3D elements in your scene
- Color Enhancement: Fine-tune the visual appeal of your scans with built-in color editing tools. By bridging the gap between 3DGS technology and Blender's powerful ecosystem, this addon empowers artists and designers to seamlessly incorporate realistic, light-responsive scans into their 3D workflows.
