Learn Gaussian Splatting WORKFLOWS
Join a tailored structured course on Gaussian Splatting – called What The Splat! The focus of the course is to introduce post-production workflows that help build workflows with Gaussian Splatting format. The next course edition is coming in spring 2026!
Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Adrianna Polcyn
I am a Visual Artist with more than 10 years of experience in 3D graphics and 3D scanning. I have spent the last 2 years learning about Gaussian Splatting and I have to say that I love this technology! The more I explore it, the more convinced I get that it will be a new way of visual expression in a lot of fields. Its ability to reconstruct real-life scenes with incredible fidelity – including thin, transparent, and glossy surfaces – opens up amazing possibilities for artists to create next-level 3D photographs and videos. I want to demystify Gaussian Splatting and make it more accessible for everyone and teach what I know.
