Best open-source 3D Gaussian splatting tools (2026)

3D Gaussian splatting tools turn photos or video into scenes of point-like Gaussians that render in real time, and some generate a single object from one image. Check the runtime first: browser renderers need WebGPU or WebGL2, while trainers depend on Vulkan, CUDA or Python. spirula-studio trains from photos on Vulkan or CUDA without Python and outputs textured meshes, but it is GPL-3.0, which matters for closed commercial use. Gaussian-Splat-Lite is a Three.js renderer with streaming LOD for large models, suited to web viewers. SplatThumb shows PLY previews directly in Windows Explorer.
