Turning Tiny insects into Massive Gaussian Splatting

Dany Bittel is a Swiss digital artist and developer who pivoted his focus towards 3D scanning and Gaussian Splatting. In this episode, he walks through his remarkable workflow for creating photorealistic Gaussian splats of macro subjects, starting with live insects collected from his garden. He explains the full process, covers his software stack and the role of lighting in getting clean results. The conversation also explores the broader potential of Gaussian splatting for creative applications, VR, interactive installations, and why Dany sees this technology as the new format for 3D photography.
