SplatWorks - Synthetic Gaussian Splat Capture for Blender
Ben Hornibrook
Which Gaussian Splatting trainers does it work with?
Anything that consumes a NeRF-style transforms.json or the COLMAP sparse/0/ folder. That covers most of the modern ecosystem — Inria 3DGS, Nerfstudio, gsplat, and similar pipelines. The output is standard format, not bespoke.
What Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.2+ (tested up to 5.2.0). Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Do I need a specific render engine?
Cycles and Eevee are both supported and tested. SplatWorks just calls Blender's standard render pipeline, so whichever engine your scene is set to will work.
Can I capture animated subjects or generate 4D splats?
Not in this version. SplatWorks captures static-frame datasets — the renders are pinned to a single scene frame you choose. The current Gaussian Splatting standards (Postshot, Inria 3DGS, Nerfstudio) are also static-only, so this matches what most trainers consume today. 4D / dynamic-splat support may come in a future major version.
Does it work for non-spherical subjects?
Yes — that's one of the main features. Sphere mode distributes cameras around a target empty for object-centric captures. Proxy Surface mode lets you place cameras across any custom mesh's surface, each facing inward, so L-shaped, ring-shaped, or otherwise awkward subjects get even coverage with no wasted angles.
Which licence tier do I need — Indie or Studio?
- Indie: you're an individual, or part of an entity with annual revenue under £100,000. Covers use by one person.
- Studio: required for any entity with annual revenue of £100,000 or more, or any team deploying SplatWorks to multiple users. Sold per seat — one purchased seat per named user.
A 20-person studio is asked to buy 20 seats. Seats can be reassigned when staff change roles.
Can I install SplatWorks on more than one machine?
Yes. A single seat covers one person, not one device — so you can install it on your workstation and laptop, for example, as long as you're the only user.
Are updates included?
Yes. Minor updates and bug fixes within the same major version line (2.x.x) are free for the lifetime of your purchase, delivered through the marketplace you bought it on. Major version upgrades (e.g. a future 3.0) may be paid.
What Support Is Included?
Best-effort email support at [email protected], or via your marketplace's messaging. Covers installation, bug reports, and usage questions. Studio-tier purchasers get priority handling. Doesn't cover custom feature development or integration consulting.
Refunds?
Handled through the refund policy of the marketplace you purchased on. Both Superhive and Gumroad have standard refund windows.
Does the add-on need internet access?
No. SplatWorks runs entirely offline. No telemetry, no licence-check pings, no third-party services.
