Luma has pushed out v0.41 of their Unreal Engine 5 plugin. There are several big features, but I am most excited that it is now listed directly on the Unreal Marketplace. They also have fixed several bugs in the build and significantly reduced build issues.

  • Now available on the Unreal Marketplace!

  • Improved build support.

  • Support for all UE5 versions incl. custom forks

  • Splat scaling - control the size of individual splats

  • Improved backgrounds, skies, & large scenes

The Luma Unreal Engine plugin is available on both Mac and Windows and supports V5.1-5.3 of Unreal Engine.

As always, Luma continues to have a few sample projects available through their documentation. Luma has also continued to make their plugin free to use. For people looking for a different solution, there are still UE5 plugins available from Volinga, Akiya, Vista Splat Pro, and XVerse. Each one comes with their own quirks, so make sure to do your diligence.

Shrinking 3DGS File Size

Gaussian Splatting has quickly become one of the most exciting research topics in Radiance Fields, thanks to its fast training, real time rendering rates, and easy to create pipeline. The one critique that emerged was the resulting file size from captures, often venturing into the high hundreds of megabytes and up.

A short 170 year history of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), Holograms, and Light Fields

Lightfield and hologram capture started with a big theoretical idea 115 years ago and we have struggled to make them viable ever since. Neural Radiance fields aka NeRF along with gaming computers now for the first time provide a promising easy and low cost way for everybody to capture and display lightfields.
