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.
Welcome to the fifth 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 In Ha and Willie from Reflct.
We're thrilled to announce the release of SplatTransform — a powerful CLI tool that makes working with 3D Gaussian Splats a breeze!
SplatTransform is open-sourced under an MIT license on GitHub
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:
Today, we are announcing the release of SuperSplat 2.2. 🚀

We have big news for the 3D Gaussian Splat community - the PlayCanvas Editor now has fully integrated support for splats! Learn how to quickly build stunning, interactive 3DGS applications today.
Today, we are announcing the latest release of SuperSplat, the open source tool for editing and optimizing 3D Gaussian Splats. If you don't have a PLY file to hand, here's an example!
3D Gaussian Splatting is a new method for digitizing and rendering real world objects. With gaussian splatting, you can digitize a scene from a few photos using services like Luma Labs or Polycam. These services take the set of photos and generate a 3d Gaussian Splat scene in PLY format.
For example, this is a Gaussian Splat scene rendered in PlayCanvas.
