3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) opens a new window for using neural rendering for real applications. This repo is intended to provide a collection of papers that are related to 3DGS, but not necessarily use 3DGS.

In general, 3D Gaussian Splatting can be considered as a variant of NeRF. This repo will more focused on the practical side of NeRF, e.g. realtime, compatibility with Unity/Unreal, ease of editing, etc.
