By IZUTSUYA Inc.. en Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 GOFish: A Method to Obtain Both a Beyond-180° 3DGS and a Collision Mesh from Fisheye Images https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/02/01.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/02/01.html Research Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 A research team including Amazon has released GOFish, a method that builds a full-field-of-view 3DGS and a well-aligned mesh from fisheye images alone. It aims to produce simulation-ready digital twins without LiDAR. LibreYOLO Adds Python Support for Sperildabs Idol, Which Creates 3DGS From a Single Image https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/02/02.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/02/02.html Tools Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 LibreYOLO's documentation now includes instructions for running Speridlabs Idol, which generates 3D Gaussian Splats from a single image of an object. Output is .ply and .splat, and the main license for code and weights is Apache-2.0. speridlabs releases "Idol," a model that generates 3DGS from a single image, on Hugging Face https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/02/03.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/02/03.html Tools Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 speridlabs has released Idol, a model that generates up to about 1.05 million Gaussians from a single image of an object. Peak VRAM is 7.2GB, and the output is a standard 3DGS PLY. Two 3DGS Add-ons for Blender: Features and Differences Between SkySplat and the KIRI Version https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/01.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/01.html Tools Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 This article sorts out two open-source add-ons for working with Gaussian Splatting in Blender: SkySplat and 3DGS Render. The former focuses on training from drone video; the latter focuses on editing, rendering and simple lighting. 3DGS Generates Training Data for Wrist-Camera VLA Policies, Validated on Reaching in Motherboard Disassembly https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/02.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/02.html Robotics Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 Zuoxu Wang and colleagues have posted to arXiv a method that reconstructs a real environment with 3DGS and synthesizes wrist-camera images. They report that, on reaching motions in motherboard disassembly, it achieved a higher success rate than teleoperated demonstrations. SG^2SLAM, a 3DGS SLAM for Monocular Outdoor Navigation, Published on arXiv https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/03.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/03.html Research Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 Ziang Guo and colleagues propose SG^2SLAM, a 3DGS SLAM for outdoor monocular navigation. They say it outperformed conventional frame-by-frame correspondence methods on KITTI and the Waymo Open Dataset. VinUniversity Releases Paper and Code on Deciding 3DGS Gaussian Birth and Death via the First Variation of the Loss https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/04.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/04.html Research Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 A method that controls 3DGS density using a score derived from the reconstruction loss, rather than heuristics, has been released. Code for standard 3DGS is on GitHub, and results on the seven Mip-NeRF360 scenes report higher metrics with fewer Gaussians. VAST-AI's Hugging Face Space "TripoSplat" Generates a 3DGS PLY from a Single Image https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/05.html https://izutsuya.io/3d4d-news/en/2026/11/01/05.html Tools Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0900 VAST-AI has released "TripoSplat," a demo on Hugging Face that converts images into Gaussian splats. A post says the output PLY can be opened in SuperSplat, a browser-based editing tool.
