We're thrilled to announce the release of Version 33 of our 3D Gaussian Splatting training software! ๐ This latest version brings several exciting enhancements, designed to streamline your workflow and supercharge your results.
What's New in V33? ๐ฅ
Automatic Updates! ๐ From V33 onwards, our software will keep itself up-to-date without you lifting a finger.
Revamped Training Algorithm โก We've rewritten the core algorithm to boost training speed and improve rendering quality, so you can achieve faster, better results.
Introducing SplatMCMC Model ๐จ Say goodbye to reliance on sparse point clouds! Our new SplatMCMC model takes your work to the next level.
Support for External Camera Imports ๐ท Easily import data from metashape, seamlessly integrating with your existing setups.
Create a new "Project Folder."
Export the video you want to train as a frame sequence using editing software, and save the sequence of images in an "images" folder within the "Project Folder."
After installing MetaShape, open it and drag the "images" folder into MetaShape. Then go to Workflow > Align Photos.
Once MetaShape completes the Align Photos process, export two files to the "Project Folder":4.1 Export the Cloud Point file (.ply) with the filename sparse_pc.ply.4.2 Export the Cameras file (.xml) with the filename transforms.xml.
Drag the "images" folder into the DiverseShot interface, select "external camera poses," and choose "MetaShape" for camera poses.
Start the training. Integrating external camera data will accelerate the training process and improve results.
Enhanced Model & Mesh Import ๐ ๏ธ You can now import .obj and .gltf files, giving you more flexibility and smoother mesh rendering.
New Reduced .ply Format ๐๏ธ Save storage space with our new reduced.ply format for more efficient data compression.
Optimized Splat Editing Tools ๐๏ธ Brush operations are now even more intuitive and responsive.
SplatData Histogram Editing ๐ Added a new way to select and edit using SplatData histograms.
Crash Fixes ๐ ๏ธ Resolved issues with non-English paths causing crashes during training and model import.
File Export Issue Resolved โจ Fixed the occasional garbled text when exporting Splat files.
