I've made a small open source tool for rendering transitions between point clouds and gaussian splats

https://github.com/Herolias/Reconstrura-Splat-Animator/

I've only tested it with Linux and NVIDIA GPU, but it should also work with AMD and Windows. I will likely add more transitions/features in the future and contributions are welcome if you want to add new transitions yourself

Introducing Reconstrura, an all-in-one Gaussian Splatting studio with self-developed GPU SfM and trainer

Reconstrura is an all-in-one Gaussian Splatting Studio that does everything from smart frame extraction to training a splat. Key features include:

- Import videos, 360° footage or an already prepared image folder

- Smart frame extraction that chooses sharp and unique frames

- Masking people, sky or the whole background with SAM 2.1

- Custom-built SfM that is optimized for GPUs

- Fast mode that rips through frames (1,300 frames take less than 4 mins to solve on an RTX 4090)

- Custom-built splat trainer

- Beginner-friendly: the software has a one-click auto-reconstruct button and quality presets in every stage. The splat trainer has a smart auto-gaussian cap enabled by default.

- Native Linux support: Reconstrura runs on basically any Linux distro without emulation.

You can try Reconstrura for free. Permanent access is a one-time purchase of $25 (no BS subscriptions or usage credits). Check it out at https://reconstrura.com/

I've been working on this for quite some time now and I think it's finally time to share it. Most development went into the custom SfM, followed by the custom splat trainer. It's still not perfect, but a good v1. I have big plans for this software, and the custom-built parts allow me to make everything work perfectly together. Since this is my first time developing a full-on desktop app with different OS support (Windows & Linux) I expect some initial bugs. Feel free to join our Discord server for bug reports, feature ideas, or just generally talking about Gaussian Splatting and sharing workflows: https://discord.gg/ZwZQT3zdGY
