KISS-GS is a modular compression pipeline for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scenes that separates compression from training. It first compacts a vanilla 3DGS scene by 15.7× using state‑of‑the‑art pruning, then encodes the result into the SOG‑XT image‑based format, achieving an additional 6.6× reduction. Optional encoding‑aware fine‑tuning can further cut the size by 2.2×, yielding total reductions of 85× to 319× on standard benchmarks while enabling web‑native decoding.

The paper introduces a non‑uniform quantisation scheme designed for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models, addressing their high bitrate demands. By applying importance‑weighted quantisation and merging, the method adapts to the data distribution and removes post‑voxelisation redundancy. Experiments on benchmark datasets show state‑of‑the‑art compression performance, and the scheme is compatible with any point‑cloud representation, positioning it as a candidate for future MPEG 3DGS standardisation.

Luce is a 3D representation that unifies geometry and physically based rendering (PBR) materials within a voxelized multimodal Gaussian cloud, using dedicated Gaussian primitives for each modality. A variational autoencoder compresses this representation into a unified material‑aware latent space, which a rectified‑flow transformer generates from a single image conditioned on multi‑layer features from a pretrained image encoder. The latent decodes into relightable PBR Gaussians and an optional textured mesh with a tangent‑space normal map, achieving state‑of‑the‑art single‑image‑to‑3D generation on Toys4K and improving CLIP image‑alignment scores on a benchmark of AI‑generated images.

Gaussian Splatting has emerged as an effective representation for video, but existing methods rely on per-video optimization. This leads to slow encoding and limits generalization across videos.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently enabled real-time novel view synthesis with impressive quality. However, it struggles to recover accurate surfaces under limited viewpoints and due to the inherent irregularity of Gaussian primitives.
