The four stages of 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction, visualised as a single progression. A sparse point cloud provides the initial spatial skeleton (left); large overlapping Gaussian primitives are seeded from those points and begin to occupy volume (second); the optimiser densifies and refines those primitives, packing them tighter as the form converges (third); finally, alpha-compositing from the correct viewpoint produces a photorealistic render with no visible primitives remaining (right). The primitives never disappear, they simply become coherent. This is not a surface mesh, not a voxel grid, not a neural network at render time. It is millions of learned ellipsoids, each carrying position, shape, rotation, colour and opacity, composited in depth order at real-time frame rates. Image: Mike Devers / Cr8ive Media
