Gaussian Splatting is my new favourite thing, so I hassled an ex-Epic artist to tell me everything he knows about the low-cost 'photo-real' rendering technique
Gaussian Splatting is a novel rendering technique that offers photo-realistic graphics with significantly lower resource costs compared to traditional methods. This article explores the technology with insights from former Epic Games artist Christoph Schindelar, detailing its potential to streamline game development pipelines and create highly detailed assets with less manual work. While not yet widely adopted in major releases, its ability to capture complex visual phenomena makes it a promising tool for developers, especially smaller teams.
