Olli Huttunen is an entrepreneur, video editor, 3D specialist, software developer and a real authority when it comes to Gaussian Splatting. I got to know Olli thanks to his Youtube channel (‪@OlliHuttunen78‬ ) a priceless resource for anybody who wants to dive into this new 3D paradigm and today we take a deep dive into the world of Gaussian splatting:
Olli explains why PostShot is his favorite tool and how to make the most out of it
He shares best practices to minimize file sizes
He tells us about a Blender add-on he has developed to create virtual camera arrays and why turning a mesh into a splat is not as dumb as it sounds
And how the capabilities of the same camera array tool can be pushed even further to create synthetic 4DGS
