Finally, Gaussian Splatting in TouchDesigner!

An extension of my last Luma AI tutorial, in this video we revisit Gaussian Splatting in TouchDesigner, since a new tool is now available to the community thanks to Tim Gerritsen.
Learn how to use the component in TouchDesigner, what a Gaussian Splat is anyway, and a few very simple (no-code) ways to begin animating your splats!

Thank you so much Lake! I love the TD community

[@eastsidekoolaid]

Ditto!

Lake. You are always surpassing yourself. Thank you for this great starter into gaussian splats.

[@water__shed]

thank you so much!

[@yvann.mp4]

amazing thanks a lot!!

[@bambue1001]

this is awsome

[@tom.konxompax]

hell yeah!!!

Hi, Thank you for the video. For some reason I am not able to upload a PLY file in the Geo box. Do you maybe know how to solve this problem? Thank :)

[@water__shed]

make sure the PLY file is uncorrupted (try drag/drop into the TD network from the file explorer). if the issue persists, you can go inside the geo and replace the point file in TOP with your drag/drop point file in - should fix things

Thank you, I've made a scan with the app PolyCam and exported it to splat PLY. I imported the file in TD and it worked. Unfortunately I ran in another problem, because I don't see the colour textures. Only the colour Blue and Red. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you in advance. :)

[@water__shed]

@@SonicIdentifications mac or windows? blue and red probably means a glsl shader error, check in the color COMP and see if that is the problem. I think there is an issue with some graphics card drivers due to the number of inputs needed for the color shader. you could probably get around this by splitting the shader into two passes

[@SonicIdentifications]

@@water__shed Thanks, how can I split the shader in two passes? :)

Any luck on MacOS anyone?? Can't seem to get it to work
