Corridor Crew: THIS is the Biggest Thing Since CGI
This video is from 3/29/2026, and it’s a pretty comprehensive explanation of the evolution of 3D reconstruction, from Photogrammetry to NeRFs and now to Gaussian Splatting. It explains the math behind what makes Gaussian Splatting truly evolutionary, like how the mathematical formula “spherical harmonics” allows each splat to store a single base color, but can change color based on the viewing angle. The video ends with discussing various potential real-life applications for Gaussian Splatting, especially 4DGS. There’s lots of hopes for this technique to become mainstream because the file size is actually small enough for your phone or VR headset to handle.

I try the tech that WILL replace CG one day (This is about Neural Radiance Fields, a.k.a. NeRFs, which is the thing that 3DGS “replaced.”

3 Key Benefits of Gaussian Splat Layers
The article highlights that Gaussian splat layers provide photographic realism for complex details that traditional meshes struggle to capture, such as vegetation or reflective glass.

This is a cool effect popularized by Olli Huttunen. His YouTube channel posts a lot about 3DGS. Olli is currently developing an app called Dioramix that tries to make 3DGS useful. Some other good videos from Olli:

Scanniverse is developed by Niantic Spatial Capture, which enables high-fidelity 3D inputs for reconstruction, localization, and real-world understanding, turning real-world data into the foundation for spatial intelligence.
Features:
- Editing functions include cropping and adjusting exposure/contrast
- Can export model to PLY or SPZ (compressed splat, used in Niantic Studio)
- Available on iOS, Google Play, and web
For mesh objects, this app allows you to place the object in AR. They are working on making this feature also available for splats models.
Kiri Engine
Features:
- Allows you to edit your 3DGS model in the app
- Rendering as a mesh and a 3DGS model at the same time
- Available on iOS, Android, and web
The 3DGS scanning function is only available with a paid plan.
