Volumetric Gaussian reconstruction & novel angle synthesis
Interactive 3D splat, transparent PNG & original .splat binary
A Gaussian Splat is a spatial 3D representation made of millions of microscopic, soft-edged ellipsoids. Each splat carries position, orientation, scale, opacity, and color. Real-time GPU rasterizers project and alpha-blend these points as you orbit, creating smooth photorealistic volume with subtle lighting and reflections. The original 3D Gaussian Splatting research describes the mathematical foundations.
Here, you start from a single reference image, and our AI pipeline infers hidden geometry, depth gradients, and volumetric appearance. Inspect all sides in our viewer before using the output in client presentations or downstream 3D scenes.
You can use the result as a source for still images or keep it as an interactive 3D file. Choose that destination before you generate, so you know which views and details you need to check.
Explore a prop, sculptural object or design concept from another angle. Save a view for a mood board, pitch deck or design review. Keep the reference image alongside it when a reviewer needs to compare what the AI inferred.
Compose a view, choose a light or dark background, and save a PNG. Enable Transparent screenshot when you want to place the subject in a slide or graphic. Review edges and fine details against the destination background before publishing.
Download the original .splat after a subscription or credit pack purchase when a collaborator needs to move the camera themselves. Downloads use no additional credits. Confirm that their application supports this exact file format. Include a reference screenshot and notes about the views you checked.
A clear input helps you judge the output. Choose an image with a visible subject, enough space around its edges and a view that shows the details you care about.
Upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 20 MB, with both dimensions at least 256 pixels. Sign in, choose visibility and generate for 30 credits. A subscription or credit pack purchase unlocks private generation. Generation is estimated at about four minutes; timing can vary.
Rotate and zoom around the result. Compare its main view with your reference, then inspect the sides and any inferred back view. Look for missing parts, stray marks, blurred edges or shapes that change unexpectedly as you move. If a view does not hold up, try a clearer reference or use another view.
Set the background and field of view, then use Save screenshot to save the current view as a PNG. Enable transparency for a layout. Your generated splat also appears in My Assets, where you can return to it and open it in the Gaussian Splat Viewer.
For a file handoff, download the original .splat from your result or My Assets. A subscription or credit pack purchase includes original-file downloads with no additional credit cost. Ask the recipient which splat formats their software accepts, then send the file with a screenshot showing your intended camera view.
For a website, a developer can use a splat-capable renderer and host the asset as part of a separate implementation. Web rendering documentation describes that approach. NovaGen3D currently provides the file and viewer workflow; a public share page or one-click embed is not included.
Choose a mesh workflow when you need connected polygon surfaces for modeling, rigging or print preparation. A Gaussian Splat describes appearance with spatial marks, so it needs software that understands splats. This tool does not convert its result to GLB, FBX or STL.
Start a separate Sketch to 3D task from your reference image when a mesh fits your goal. Inspect that mesh and prepare it for the target application; generation alone does not make it ready for animation or printing.
Common answers about generation, local file inspection, and formats
AI can infer views beyond the input image, but one photo cannot verify hidden surfaces. Review the angles you need. For a record of a real object or place, a capture workflow with multiple observed views is more appropriate than treating this output as measured evidence.
Each generation costs 30 credits and requires an account. Viewing the result and saving PNG screenshots are free. Downloads of generated original .splat files are included after a subscription or credit pack purchase and use no additional credits. Download access remains if your credits are used up or your subscription has ended.
Generation produces an original .splat file. You can inspect it in the dedicated viewer and save still PNG screenshots, including transparent screenshots. This workflow does not export video, GLB, FBX or STL.
Check the exact application, renderer or add-on for .splat support before you commit to that workflow. A normal mesh importer is not enough. NovaGen3D does not provide a tested Blender or game-engine handoff for these files.
A subscription or credit pack purchase unlocks private generation; generating a splat still uses 30 credits. Public results use the CC BY 4.0 license. Community publishing is not available for splats yet, and the current workflow does not create a public sharing link.
Open your saved result in My Assets instead of starting another generation. You can inspect it in the Splat Viewer, choose a different camera view and save another screenshot.
Generate a splat, inspect the views you need, then choose a screenshot or an original-file handoff.
