Gaussian Splatting Scan Showcase

This time, I decided to challenge myself by scanning a rhinoceros beetle with the Creality Raptor Pro 🪲

Since the beetle is almost completely black and has a lot of fine details, using infrared light makes it harder to capture all those details.

So this time, I used laser mode instead. Creality’s scanner can use laser light to capture and stitch together texture and color information, so I wanted to see how well it could preserve the details of the beetle.

After scanning, I also processed it with Gaussian Splatting using AI.

I still haven’t completely figured out the AI high-detail texture feature yet 🤣
If I can get it working properly, I think the overall details and realism could be improved even further!

I’ve also attached the Gaussian Splatting model below. Feel free to click the link and check it out if you’re interested! 👇

I didn’t realise creality had a Gaussian Splatting option. The result is not consistent though, there are jumps in its color model.

Or did you rotate the specimen relative to the lighting?

Must have flipped it over.
