I'm the co-creator and maintainer of https://aframe.io/ and long time Web 3D graphics dev. Super excited about new techniques to author / render / represent 3D. Spark is a an open source library to easily integrate Gaussian splats in your THREE.js scene I worked with some friends and I hope you find useful. Looking forward to hearing what features / rendering techniques you would love to see next.

Hello HN! I’m excited to share this open-source community mashup showing the power and possibility of combining 3D Gaussian splat scans with traditional mesh-based 3D tiles maps in the browser. As you've probably seen on HN a bunch lately, Gaussian splats are a new method to allow custom 3D scans of scenes and objects [1] and Google Maps 3D Tiles API are the same 3D buildings and street views your familiar with in Google Earth or Google Maps, and recently they’ve been made available for inclusion in web apps. Combining splats + 3d map mixes highly detailed real-world custom micro-scans with…

I just launched SplatGallery, a platform where you can share and discover the best 3D models created with Gaussian Splatting. It's a super early stage and new models are coming it fairly often. Would love to get feedback from the HN community on how to improve it!

LiveSplat is a system for turning RGBD camera streams into Gaussian splat scenes in real-time. The system works by passing all the RGBD frames into a feed forward neural net that outputs the current scene as Gaussian splats. These splats are then rendered in real-time. I've put together a demo video at the link above.

Hi HN, I built SplatHash. It's a lightweight image placeholder generator I wrote to be a simpler, faster alternative to BlurHash and ThumbHash. Repo: https://github.com/junevm/splathash

Hi HN, author here. SHARP is Apple's recent single-image 3D Gaussian splatting model (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10685). Their reference code is PyTorch + a pretty heavy pipeline; I wanted to see if it could run in a browser with no server hop, so I exported the predictor to ONNX and ran it via onnxruntime-web with the WebGPU EP. What works: drop in an image, get a .ply you can download or preview live, all on your machine — your image never leaves the tab. The model is large (~2.4 GB sidecar) so first load is slow on a cold cache, but inference itself is a few seconds on…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

Hello HN! I'm the author of this toy project that combines the idea of live-edit Shadertoy scenes with the popular gaussian splatting, aka 3DGS. You can write a GLSL function that defines the splats and see it rendered in real-time. Your GLSL code isn't stored anywhere, but you can share it via URL. P.S. I'm not a Spark developer. I'm just using their rendering engine.

Hello HN! We’re a small creative studio specializing in real-time 3D experiences. Netlify approached us to design and build an interactive experience to celebrate reaching 5 million developers. Inspired by the classic game Marble Madness, we created a gamified experience where users control a ball through playful, interactive levels. The goal was to blend marketing content with the look and feel of a game to engage users. The app is built with Three.js [1], using our custom render pipeline and shaders, and uses Rapier for physics simulation [2]. The 2D content is overlaid on the WebGL view…

Last week I wanted to quickly view some Gaussian splats which I had trained on a remote server that didn’t have any open ports or a display device. So I ended up downloading everything locally just to inspect the results This weekend I put together a terminal-based Gaussian splats viewer that renders directly in the terminal. It works over SSH and currently runs on CPU only and written in rust with claude code. I’ve found it to be pretty useful for quickly checking which .ply files correspond to which scenes and getting a rough sense of their quality. Along the way, I also wrote a small…

Bauble is a toy that I've been working on for a few weeks, and I think it's reached the point where other people could have fun with it! Bauble is based on raymarching signed distance functions, which are kind of like... 3D vector art? They're pretty common in the procedural art community and you can do some amazing things with them, but normally writing SDFs means writing low-level shader code. I wanted to play with SDFs, but I found it very frustrating to translate "I want to rotate this" into "okay, that means I have to construct a rotation matrix, and then apply it to the current point,…
