Native Workstation

LichtFeld Studio

LichtFeld Studio is an open-source native workstation for 3D Gaussian Splatting that combines training, real-time inspection, editing, plugins, automation, and export.

What It Does

LichtFeld Studio is designed for users who have outgrown isolated scripts and viewers. It pulls training, checkpointing, live inspection, selection tools, scene editing, and export into a single desktop environment.

That makes it appealing for teams that need repeatable production workflows but still want open-source control and extensibility.

How To Use It In 3DGS

  • Start with a COLMAP dataset or supported capture flow.
  • Train and inspect the reconstruction inside the native application.
  • Use selection, crop, transform, and editing tools to clean the scene in context.
  • Export to PLY, SOG, SPZ, or HTML depending on delivery needs.

Things To Watch

  • Native workstation tools can have more moving parts than a simple web viewer.
  • GPU and OS support should be checked before promising a pipeline to collaborators.
  • Automation is powerful, but it needs version discipline just like any production toolchain.

Native Workstation Details

  • The public site highlights Windows and Linux builds, native C++23/CUDA training, scene editing, Python plugins, and MCP automation.
  • Editing tools include brush, lasso, polygon, crop, align, and compose operations, so it sits closer to a full splat workstation than a trainer script.
  • It can export PLY, SOG, SPZ, or standalone HTML, which makes it useful at both training and delivery stages.
