User Manual: Concepts

What This Module Does

Gaussian splatting renders scenes from splat data (.ply / .spz) instead of traditional meshes.

Core Concepts (Plain Language)

• Splat asset: source point/splat data file you import.
• Node: GaussianSplatNode3D is the scene node that renders the asset.
• Quality preset: quick performance/quality control.
• Streaming: loads scene data in chunks to keep memory under control.
• Sorting: draw order step needed for correct translucent rendering.

When to Tune

• Use presets first.
• Only change advanced settings when you see visible artifacts or performance problems.

Behavior Guides

• Runtime behavior for expected behavior and the first safe controls.
• Lighting behavior for the lighting controls that matter first.
