Gsplat Editor

Gsplat Editor

Edits 3D gaussian splat objects in the browser: drop in a .ply or .splat file, work on it live and download the result as a .splat file. It suits people who work with gaussian splats.

About

What it is: Gsplat Editor is a small web editor that shows off the realtime editing features of the gsplat.js library. You drag a gaussian splat file into the window, work on the objects, and download the result. It runs as a Docker app on port 3000 on Hugging Face's free CPU hardware.

Who it suits: It suits people who work with 3D gaussian splats and want a quick way to look at and trim a scene, and developers who want to see what gsplat.js can do.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
3D capture | Creators of splat scans | Load a scan and pick the objects they want to keep | A creator drops in a .ply scan and selects one object.
Web development | Front-end developers | See gsplat.js editing in a working app | A developer opens the editor folder to see how it is built.
Graphics research | Students and researchers | Inspect splat files in the browser without extra software | A student drags in a .splat file and looks around.

If you need a full 3D modeling tool, skip it, since the source calls it a simple editor.

Where to use it:

• A web browser, through the Space's page on Hugging Face
• A local copy on Windows, macOS or Linux, using Docker

Use case | Who | What they get back
Open a splat file | Anyone with a .ply or .splat file | The object shown in the editor window
Download one object | Creators | A .splat file with only the object you selected
Download the whole scene | Creators | One .splat file with all objects combined

How to set it up:

• Docker on Windows, macOS or Linux, only if you want a local copy
• Python and pip, for the download step

1. Install the huggingface_hub package.
2. Download the Space into a local folder named gsplat-editor.
3. Move into that folder.
4. Build the Docker image.
5. Run the image and map port 3000.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download dylanebert/gsplat-editor --repo-type space --local-dir gsplat-editor
cd gsplat-editor
docker build -t gsplat-editor .
docker run -it -p 3000:3000 gsplat-editor

How to use it: Open the editor and drag a .ply or .splat file into its window. Pick the objects you want, then press the button at the top right to get a .splat file.

Tool | What it does
Drag and drop | Imports gaussian splat objects from a .ply or .splat file
Download button | Saves a .splat file, using the selected object if there is one

Example: You drag a .splat file into the window and select one object. When you click the download button, you get a .splat file that holds only that object. With nothing selected, you get every object combined.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new, a gaussian splat is a 3D scene stored as many soft points. Drag a splat file into the editor and click around.

If you know the field, the editor is a demo of gsplat.js, not a production tool. It supports .ply and .splat input and writes .splat output. The Space names a dataset called 3dgs.

Drag a .ply or .splat file in
Select the objects to work on
Click the download button
Save a .splat file

Good to know:

• Input is limited to .ply and .splat files
• Output is a .splat file, either one object or all objects combined
• License: mit
• Cost to run: none named
• Data it reaches: the splat files you drop into the editor
