Here’s a sneak peek at the ViewForge 3DGS Slicer UI.
It slices a 360° equirectangular panorama into 16 perspective views, allowing you to select them à la carte to export a clean transforms.json for training. You can also apply camera jitter (randomized offsets) when slicing to augment your dataset.
I’m currently planning to add Colmap export support as well!

Here is a quick demo of the **"Panorama Optimizer"** feature in my WIP Blender add-on for 3DGS / LichtFeld Studio.

As you can see in the video, it sets up everything for a 360° render (switching to Cycles, setting the camera to Equirectangular, and adjusting resolution/samples) with just a single click.

**Note:** The tool has actually evolved a bit since I recorded this. It now features dedicated **1K, 2K, and 4K preset buttons**, allowing you to instantly switch between quick low-res previews and high-res final outputs without typing any numbers.

Other features in the add-on include:

* 1-click Compositor setup for RGB, Z-Depth, and AO output.

* Generating accurate initial point clouds from renders.

* Seamless export to LFS-ready PLY and CSV formats.

Let me know what you think!

Working on a Python add-on to streamline render setups for LichtFeld Studio and 3D Gaussian Splatting workflows. **Key Features (WIP):** * Places cameras along a polyline path with keyframes at each vertex * Automatically creates offset & U-turn paths to double camera density * Sets up everything ready for 360° panorama rendering

Hey everyone!

Here is a quick 2x speed preview of ViewForge v1.0.

ViewForge is a free plugin for LichtFeld Studio that lets you save/manage camera bookmarks and compare PLY files instantly.
