Hi there!

First off, big thanks to the team for their ongoing support and development of V3D
Amazing tool to empower artists and entrepreneurs utilize the modern creative 3D web.

I’ve been building with Gaussian Splats more and more over the past year, and client interest has only been increasing (especially from the real estate and resource sectors).
Utilizing GS in web browser is quickly becoming an expected standard!

Puzzle support out of the gate is likely too much of an ask, but would it please be possible for us to start building support for it into the V3D API in the near future, hopefully for an upcoming release? More than happy to help test anything!

GS would be an absolute game changer for users and devs in staying at the cutting edge of of our space!

Many thanks for your consideration.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

I guess my question therein is: why even use V3D in this case? Is your example integrating any of the V3D scene functions, or just spinning up what appears to be a GS “Viewer” from the mkkellogg repo? Can the two comingle in Verge3D? I.e. it would be ideal to at least be able to populate some annotations, for example.

I don’t think it’s too big of an ask to have this increasingly mainstream 3D standard supported in an industry leading tool like Verge3D, fwiw, especially with the amazing code development productivity enabled by AI. Hopefully the team sees the need and opportunity, and agrees.

Indeed, there’s no need. But you asked for GS in V3D

it’s an ordinary V3D app with all its functions. you can see it on the demo video…

This is interesting actually & if at all possible V3D team might consider this as a feature in upcoming versions. May be by improving few things to keep V3D’s uniqueness towards it.

I didnt know about GS much the demo video & examples are good !

GS looks to be at a stable-enough stage and I hope the team is actively looking into supporting it for an official build in the near future. Would love to be able to load a glb (from blender) and a ply/splat file easily in the same scene natively.

Hopefully more of the V3D community sees the potential of this and voices their support!
