CG Nomads Ltd

I'm thrilled to announce GSOPs EDU! At CG Nomads Ltd, we believe the next generation of artists, engineers, and researchers should have access to the most advanced tools available. That’s why full access to GSOPs, including Early Access features, is now available for educational institutions to use for free. We would like to extend a huge thank you to our inaugural educational partners: -Stuttgart Media University (Jan Adamczyk) -USC Ganek Immersive Studio (Jordan Reece Halsey) -UTS Animal Logic Academy (Raphaël Gadot) We’ve already seen incredible student work using Gaussian Splats to solve complex production challenges. Educators: please reach out if you're interested in leveraging the full power of GSOPs in your curriculum. Students: If you’d like these tools in your lab, give your instructors a gentle nudge! 😉 Please help us get these tools into more classrooms by sharing this post. Let’s empower the next wave of creators to master one of the most significant innovations in computer graphics since texture mapping.

finally can talk about this new music video for A$AP ROCKY: Helicopter$ I produced with the Grin Machine team, Directed by Dan Streit, I post EP'd and assembled the team of Angus Oakes , Andrew Muron, Will Wharton, Hugo Shiboski, and Gabe Bayer we made it with over 1tb of animated gaussian splats captured with Evercoast and Wilfred Driscoll as our tech supervisor with Louis Normandin and Evan Pesses . Rendered entirely in SideFX Software Houdini with OTOY Octane Renderer that enabled for re-lighting gaussian splats using GSOPS by CG Nomads Ltd . :) Check the whole video on youtube, enjoy :)

GSOPs 2.9 is out, and with it comes highly anticipated support for Houdini 21! Now that H21 has native Gaussian splatting support, we wanted to ensure GSOPs users have the best of both worlds. With GSOPs 2.9, you can work interchangeably with GSOPs and native Houdini splat attribute conventions. The Highlights:  ✅ Houdini 21 Support: Full compatibility for installers and binaries.  ✅ Seamless Conversion: Use the new Gaussian Splats Convert SOP to move between GSOPs and native H21 splat conventions.  ✅ Improved Pipeline Configuration Here, I've taken an incredible confectionary scan from Dany Bittel, compressed as spz (11.3mb), and loaded it into H21. Yummy! Link in the comments. Thank you Dominik Lange for the help with the Convert logic! 🙌 #GSOPs #CGNomads #GaussianSplatting #RadianceFields #SideFX #Houdini #H21 #VFX #ComputerGraphics

Excited to share our latest artist spotlight featuring David Lisser, whose work explores fragility, decay, and transformation through cutting-edge 3D tools like GSOPs in Houdini and OctaneRender. In the article David breaks down how he uses point clouds and splat-based simulations to reinterpret real-world objects - often flowers and other organic forms into dissolving digital still life works. He shares how Octane helps him craft emotion through light, atmosphere, and transparency, and how the tools influence his process from capture to final render. This is a beautiful blend of art and computation - one that highlights just how far Gaussian splats have come as a creative medium.

Bake creative lighting directly into your Gaussian splatting scenes with GSOPs. In GSOPs 2.7, we introduced the Enhance utility: -Ambient occlusion approximation -Improved normals -Extra feature attributes GSOPs 2.8 builds on that with: -Roughness approximation -Updated IBL relighting (now supporting AO + roughness) Video breakdown (HQ: https://lnkd.in/dgmWsVfG): First half -Left: Roughness approximation -Center: Original iPhone scan (see details in the comments) -Right: Normals from coarse mesh, enhanced with Gaussian normal Second half -3 IBL lighting variants, combining all enhancements -Sharpening masked by splat population While these enhancements can improve ray-traced relighting in Karma or Octane, the real potential lies in baking them into the .ply format for use anywhere. Why limit ourselves to 2D?

Thank you Stefano Scolari for inspiration and technical assistance developing some of these features. #GSOPs #CGNomads #GaussianSplatting #RadianceFields #SideFX #Houdini #VFX #ComputerGraphics

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's gaussian splatting. When Framestore needed to bring Kryptonian tech to Earth, they turned to gaussian splatting. In the recently released Superman, every shot of Kal-El's parents is a dynamic splat. I spoke to the team at Framestore about capturing the splats at Infinite-Realities® and how they used CG Nomads Ltd GSOPs in SideFX Software's Houdini to help make the highest profile public use of gaussian splatting to date.
