Cinema 4D Gets Powerful New Gaussian Splatting Plug-In

Gaussian Splat Studio by Alpha Pixel is a new Cinema 4D plug-in that lets you import, view, render, and export Gaussian Splat point data. The plug-in provides dedicated viewport and render controls, and fully supports Redshift and Standard/Physical material workflows. It's also designed around a non-destructive workflow, allowing artists to iterate freely while adjusting density, appearance, and output.

According to Alpha Pixel, the plug-in is aimed at motion designers, scan artists, and look-development workflows. It seamlessly integrates splats into Cinema 4D's system, working with MoGraph controls, Fields, Forces, relighting, and mattes.

Also, Tim Chen recently unveiled NanoGS, a tool that helps render large 3DGS efficiently in Unreal Engine 5. It's free:

Curious to see what's also possible with 3DGS? Dany Bittel has an incredible insect-themed 3D Gaussian Splats portfolio. Scroll down to see his bumblebee, red firebug, honeybee, and ladybug.
