Custom rhêgma software sculpts Gaussian splat clouds into vapor-like artistic distortions.

Strengths
  • •Novel artistic use of Gaussian splatting imperfections as intentional creative medium
  • •Custom rhêgma tool enables volumetric shearing and redistribution of splat data
  • •Genuine technical craft applied to computational photography
Weaknesses
  • •Art portfolio rather than reusable tool limits broader developer appeal
  • •No downloadable software or documentation for others to experiment with
Category

Target Audience

Digital artists, creative coders, computational photography enthusiasts

Post Description

As a photographer, I've been experimenting with gaussian splatting as a quasi-photographic artistic medium. After alignment and training (colmap, brush), I post process my models with some python software I've written called rhêgma which allows for algorithmic transformation and distortion of the splats (volumetric shearing and redistribution of the data). My subject matter is primarily industrial structures and architecture in my hometown, Ōtepoti/Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand.

SVO Voxelization for Gaussian Splat Collisions

Using an SVO to voxelize Gaussian splats is a sensible way to prune overlap checks — hierarchical voxels fit the problem and should cut costly pairwise collisions. Can't judge the execution: the Reddit thread is blocked with no visible code, benchmarks, or demos, so this currently reads like an intriguing sketch rather than a drop-in tool.
