Splat fight: blobs vs. triangles
Build Gaussian Splat Experiences with SuperSplat Studio
Fans swoon, skeptics worry, and realtors line up
TLDR: SuperSplat Studio launched to let anyone build clickable, polished 3D scenes from photos, complete with hotspots and cinematic effects. Commenters praised the ease, warned it could break old 3D workflows, and even eyed real estate tours—signaling a flashy new direction that might ruffle traditionalists but excite creators.
SuperSplat just dropped Studio, a new app for building interactive 3D “splats” — think photo-made scenes you can explore — with tappable hotspots, smooth camera moves, and one-click glow-and-glam effects. The community’s already buzzing (yes, the honeybee demo did that), but it’s not all sugar. The hype is real, the nerves are realer.
One early adopter, bastawhiz’s homepage, flexed what Studio can do and praised how intuitive it feels. Meanwhile, user tmilard came in loud with the hot take: this tech breaks from traditional 3D (the old triangle-based way) and that “could be an issue.” Translation for non-nerds: new magic tricks might not play nice with your old toolbox. Cue the imagined meme war: Triangle Gang vs. Blob Squad. Drama achieved.
What exactly can you do? Drop hotspots that guide viewers through a scene, polish with bloom and sharpen, tweak color and tone so everything looks cinematic. People loved that it updates live as you slide knobs. And then came the money: realty_geek popped in asking about real estate tours, signaling the “splat my listing” era. The vibe: creators are excited to make slick web stories fast, purists are side-eyeing the pipeline shift, and entrepreneurs smell opportunity. SuperSplat asked for feature requests; the crowd delivered takes, tension, and bee puns. Classic launch energy.
