3DGS Render 2.0, an innovative add-on for Blender 4, has been released by Kiri Innovations, revolutionizing the way to work with 3D scans. This tool allows the use of a new technique called 3D Gaussian Splatting, which generates high-quality 3D models from photographs. The standout feature of this technology is the use of artificial intelligence to color and shape the models, creating impressive results.
What is 3D Gaussian Splatting?
3D Gaussian Splatting is an advanced 3D scanning technique that converts photos into three-dimensional models, providing a level of detail and realism that was previously only possible with expensive 3D scanners. This technology facilitates the creation of 3D models from simple photographs, simplifying the process and reducing costs.
Integration with Blender 4
The 3DGS Render 2.0 add-on allows importing these scans directly into Blender 4, a very popular software among 3D artists and designers. Once inside Blender, users can:
- Edit the models, adjusting their size and shape as needed.
- Crop objects to focus only on the relevant parts of the scan.
- Simplify the models to optimize their use in more complex projects.
- Add animated effects to bring the models to life within the Blender environment.
This approach allows total control over the modeling process, from creation to integration into creative projects.
Rendering with Eevee
One of the main advantages of using 3DGS Render 2.0 is its compatibility with Eevee, Blender's real-time rendering engine. Thanks to Eevee, users can obtain fast and high-quality results, accelerating the creation process without sacrificing visual realism.
Ease of integration into projects
The scan data generated by 3DGS Render 2.0 is handled as if it were normal 3D models, making it easy to integrate into any project within Blender. This includes everything from creating 3D environments to animating characters and objects, making the workflow more agile and efficient.
Conclusion
The 3DGS Render 2.0 add-on for Blender 4 offers an innovative way to work with 3D scans, significantly improving the three-dimensional model creation process. Its integration with artificial intelligence, Blender, and Eevee promises to open new possibilities for 3D designers and artists, enhancing quality and efficiency in production.
