Import Gaussian Splats into D5

[d5.strudel]

Hello. Will D5 be allowing us to import gaussian splats anytime soon? It would be extremely useful to be able to use these more realistic models within D5 scenes.

I second this request! It would be great if we could use 3DGS objects inside D5 scene - it would be very handy for realistic background environments in a scene…

Same here!
There is a topic and vote already for Gaussian Splats in D5.

Gaussian Splats into D5

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 allo…

I second this request, this import function would be extreme useful. This functionally within in Vray is almost enough to make me consider migrating back to a vray workflow (however i would much prefer to stay with D5)

Finaly the 3DGS on D5 3.0,
D5 now can supports direct import of 3D Gaussian Splatting files in .ply / .gs format (alpha)

And here is my hamble test

Big Thanks to the Team of D5 Render

With version 3.1 I imported a 3DGS in D5 but the shadows are not projected on the Gaussians!!! Why???
