No command line, no Python, no cloud.\n\n- 🌐 Website: \u003chttps://radiancekit.de\u003e\n- 📥 Mac App Store: \u003chttps://apps.apple.com/app/radiancekit/id6760346035\u003e\n- 📖 Full guide — *Gaussian Splatting on a Mac*: \u003chttps://radiancekit.de/gaussian-splatting-mac/\u003e\n\nThis repository collects **open documentation and resources** for RadianceKit and for\ndoing 3D Gaussian Splatting on macOS in general: an export-format reference, a capture\nguide, and an FAQ. The app itself ships through the Mac App Store.\n\n## What RadianceKit does\n\n- **The complete workflow in one app:** import → align → train → edit → export.\n- **Fully local:** Gaussian Splatting training runs on the Apple Silicon GPU (M1–M4)\n  via Metal. Your photos and 3D scenes never leave your device — no account, no cloud.\n- **Two modes:** Simple Mode (import, press Start, get a scene) and Expert Mode (3D\n  viewport, training inspector, live loss curves, interactive splat editor).\n- **Open exports:** PLY, Compressed PLY, SPZ, glTF, `.splat`, SOG — plus orbit videos\n  and self-contained, shareable web viewers.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later)\n- macOS 26 Tahoe or later\n- 16 GB RAM recommended\n\n## How 3D Gaussian Splatting works\n\n1. **Capture** — 30–200 overlapping photos (or a slow video) from many angles.\n2. **Align** — camera poses are computed automatically (Apple Photogrammetry).\n3. **Train** — Gaussian Splatting builds millions of tiny 3D ellipsoids (\"splats\").\n4. **Preview** — explore the reconstruction from any angle in real time.\n5. **Export** — save to a standard format or share as a web viewer.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [Export formats](docs/export-formats.md) — PLY, SPZ, glTF, `.splat`, SOG and when to use each.\n- [Capture guide](docs/capture-guide.md) — how to shoot photos/video for clean splats.\n- [FAQ](docs/faq.md) — hardware, privacy, pricing, formats.\n- [Sample photos](https://github.com/bkindler/radiancekit-sample-photos) — a ready-to-use photo set: download, drag into RadianceKit, press Start.\n\n## Pricing\n\nFree download with a 3-day full-feature trial. After the trial, a one-time in-app\npurchase unlocks the full version — no subscription.\n\n## About\n\nMade by Bjoern Kindler.
