Please consider the integration of Gaussian splats into the D5 software, as this emerging 3D technology holds significant potential. By doing so, we would be able to import real-world scenarios seamlessly without overloading the model unnecessarily.
Gaussian splatting is a technique commonly used in computer graphics and visualization to render point-based datasets efficiently. It involves representing each point in the dataset as a Gaussian distribution (or “splat”) in screen space, which allows for smooth and accurate rendering, particularly when dealing with large or dense datasets. By incorporating Gaussian splatting into the D5 software, users can achieve high-quality visualizations of real-world scenarios without the need for excessive computational resources. This technique offers advantages such as improved performance, reduced memory usage, and enhanced visual fidelity, making it a valuable addition to the software’s capabilities.
I’m also excited for that! 3DGs is introducing revolutionary 3D scanning technology. Other software hasn’t integrated it yet, only game engines have done so. If D5 Render starts using it, it will be amazing !

Hey there! I noticed that Gaussian splats are currently available on D5 in the Team version. However, I’m a bit unsure about how they imported the files and what file extension they used. Could anyone from D5 support shed some light on that?
Here’s the link I found: https://render-gs.d5render.com/render?load=https://usa.ai.d5render.com/ai/gs/output/1833406523422932994/1833406523326464001.ply&gsId=1833406523326464001&id=357
Hi mtouny.ali,
Thank you for your question! Once your account is upgraded to the D5 Render for Team plan, you can log into the D5 Showreel platform through the web interface. There, you can upload any MP4 format video to our Video 2 3D service. After the machine learning process is complete, it will return a PLY format file, which supports editing, trimming, and online sharing. Additionally, you can export the trimmed PLY file as well.
For more details, feel free to check out this blog: Introducing D5 GS 3D: Transforming MP4 Videos into Interactive 3D Models with Gaussian Splatting.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,

Hi Liuyu,
I hope you’re doing well! thanks for your answer, I was wondering if it’s possible for us to import 3D Gaussian Splatting into D5. I’ve noticed that Vray has recently done this in the beta version of Vray 7.
Here’s a link with more information about it!: Vray 7 beta test GSP

Hi Mtouny,
I hope you’re doing well too! Thank you for sharing this information; I’ve noticed this exciting update from V-Ray.
However, I’m sorry to say that currently, D5 Render doesn’t support directly importing PLY files due to some technical limitations. But it’s definitely a direction worth researching.
Lastly, the 3D Gaussian Splatting technology in D5 still has a lot of room for improvement. We’ll continue to optimize it and create more usage scenarios, so please stay tuned!
Best regards,
Liuyu
