Gaussian Point Splatting
Gaussian Point Splatting is a new method for rendering Gaussian splats efficiently in large scenes. The technique utilizes parallel programming to distribute workloads across millions of threads, allowing for real-time rendering of hundreds of millions of Gaussians. The method addresses challenges in opacity and point distribution while maintaining fidelity to original Gaussian splatting.

Gaussian Point Splatting Joris Rijsdijk, Christoph Peters, Michael Weinnman, Ricardo Marroquim. 2026–07 in ACM Transactions on Graphics (Proc. SIGGRAPH) 45, 4. Official version Abstract We propose Gaussian point splatting, a stochastic method to render Gaussian splats that scales extremely well to scenes with many Gaussians. Our core idea is to sample pixel-sized, opaque points from the Gaussians and to splat them to a framebuffer using 64-bit atomics. Through parallel programming primitives, we achieve an even distribution of the workload across millions of threads. Since these threads splat points independently, multiple points may splat to the same pixel.
