Blender 5.3 introduces native Gaussian Splatting functionality, allowing users to import 3D scenes from photos or videos as point clouds. These splats, composed of tiny, soft, transparent dots, can be manipulated using Geometry Nodes and rendered in EEVEE, Cycles, or Workbench. Gaussian splats are distinguished by their point cloud representation and unique attributes.
Performance optimization is ongoing, with potential inaccuracies arising from color space differences. Additionally, Blender 5.3 incorporates NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, enhancing rendering speed and quality by upscaling and reusing previous frame samples.
