Most people have never heard of COLMAP — but it powers nearly every Gaussian Splat ever created. Version 4.0 just landed with major performance and infrastructure improvements. Here's what it is, why it matters, and what it means for your 3D captures.

A new free Unreal Engine plugin uses Nanite-inspired LoD and culling to handle large Gaussian Splatting scenes efficiently. Host splats on Splat Labs Cloud for review, then export PLY for NanoGS — or pair with PortalCam and Lixel for capture.

NVIDIA's vkSplatting 2026.1, showcased in Jensen Huang's GTC keynote, brings ray-traced shadows, DLSS, and multi-instance scene architecture to Gaussian Splatting. The technology just went enterprise.

Use the in-viewer AI image generator to stage a photo, turn the object into a GLB with Meta Segment Anything and 3D mesh tools, then import and place it in your Splat Labs scene—walk around it like native geometry.

Turn a Gaussian splat into a clean 2D floor plan and an aligned minimap. From clipping and lasso cleanup to AI styles, calibration, and navigation—watch the video and follow each step in Splat Labs Cloud.

Step-by-step guide to exporting your LCC Studio project and uploading it to Splat Labs Cloud for instant 3D viewing, sharing, and collaboration.

Group captures in a folder, open the Over Time panel, add time-linked splats from other projects, run a three-point calibration, then jump between dates from the same viewpoint—perfect for construction and change-over-time documentation.

Turn any Gaussian Splat into an easy-to-navigate virtual tour. Set gravity locations so viewers can tap or click to move between spots — just like a Matterport experience — in minutes.

Matterport proved that 3D property tours are worth $1.6 billion. Now Gaussian Splatting is replacing the old format with photorealistic walkthroughs anyone can capture with a smartphone. The data, the opportunity, and how to get in early.

Enterprise AEC firms do not buy technology because it is cool — they buy it because it solves expensive problems. Here is how Skender is using Gaussian Splatting to tighten bids, prevent rework, and resolve disputes 40% faster.

Learn what Gaussian splats are, how they work, and why they matter for real estate, construction, AEC, and 3D teams. See how Splat Labs helps you host, share, annotate, measure, and present splats in the browser.
