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 compact neural appearance model for 3D Gaussian Splatting that replaces traditional low‑order spherical harmonics (SH) with a tiny shared MLP decoding per‑primitive latent codes. It compares SH with recent spherical appearance models, integrating all into a unified CUDA rasterizer and WebGL viewer, and demonstrates that the new neural representation reduces per‑primitive appearance storage from 192 to 28 bytes, speeds optimization by 1.3×, and improves reconstruction quality. The study also analyzes how different appearance parametrizations affect geometry recovery and the handling of non‑static scene content.

CC-4DGS introduces a storage‑efficient framework for dynamic 4D Gaussian splatting by replacing large multi‑resolution hash tables with a deterministic dense hash encoding and compact neural decoders, reducing deformation storage to 1–3 MB per scene. It also compresses canonical point‑cloud attributes through conditional autoencoding, selective quantization, and residual codebooks, achieving 3–5× reduction in point‑cloud size with negligible quality loss. The combined approach maintains real‑time rendering performance while lowering total storage to 20–30 MB, matching state‑of‑the‑art reconstruction accuracy on N3DV and Technicolor Light Field datasets.

AESplat is a new pose‑free feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting framework that improves rendering quality by decoupling view‑independent and view‑dependent appearance modeling. It directly extracts the base view‑independent appearance from input images and predicts higher‑order spherical harmonic coefficients with a shallow MLP that incorporates 3D‑aware inductive biases. Experiments on several datasets show AESplat outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving up to 0.8 dB higher PSNR than NAS3R and 1.1 dB over DepthSplat on RealEstate10K.

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables scalable scene reconstruction without per-scene optimization, yet produces dense Gaussians that are costly to store and transmit. Existing feed-forward Gaussian compression methods formulate decoding as deterministic representation recovery, which becomes inadequate at low bitrates when high-frequency textures and view-dependent appearance are discarded.
