View all authorsLast month we shipped Downloadable Splats, Licenses and Social Links — giving creators more control over how their work is shared and credited. Today we're back with three more upgrades that span the whole SuperSplat experience: from how splats are tagged and discovered, to how they're made walkable, to how they're edited.
Last month we shipped Walk Mode, Streamed LOD and Easy Upload — three huge upgrades for exploring and publishing splats. Today we're rolling out another set of features that make SuperSplat an even better home for the 3D Gaussian Splatting community.
Last month we launched SuperSplat Studio, giving creators the power to add annotations and cinematic post effects to their published splats. Today, we're back with the next wave of improvements - and this one's a big one.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of SuperSplat Studio — a brand new application for authoring interactive Gaussian splat-based experiences. Built on the SuperSplat platform, Studio takes your published splats to the next level, letting you craft rich, engaging presentations that tell a story.
Welcome to the sixth edition of Developer Spotlight, a series of blog articles where we talk to developers about how they use PlayCanvas and showcase the fantastic work they are doing on the web.
Today, we are excited to be joined by Vladimir, Roman and Ben from Voxelo as they celebrate the beta release of Voxelo.ai 2.0.
Goodbye SOGS. Hello SOG! 👋
Back in May, PlayCanvas announced support for SOGS, a revolutionary super-compressed format for 3D Gaussian splats. While SOGS was a huge leap beyond other compression techniques, we were still not satisfied! So we set about designing a new and improved iteration of the format.
Today, we are proud to introduce SOG: Spatially Ordered Gaussians.

We're thrilled to announce the release of SplatTransform — a powerful CLI tool that makes working with 3D Gaussian Splats a breeze!

When 3D Gaussian Splats began to revolutionize real-time rendering and photorealistic 3D content creation, we built SuperSplat, a visual editor for splats. But developers have continued to ask for better tools to manage, convert, and optimize their splat datasets. Our solution is to bring some of SuperSplat's most powerful features to the command line, courtesy of a new tool called SplatTransform. It's fast, flexible, and designed specifically for developers who need precise control over their Gaussian splat workflows.
Today, we are releasing PlayCanvas Engine 2.7.5 that introduces a new and advanced compression format for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) called Self-Organizing Gaussians (SOGS). SOGS can reduce 3DGS data by over 20x.
Today, we are announcing the open sourcing of the SuperSplat Viewer. Try it out for yourself:
