The world of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is evolving faster than ever, and at Volinga, we are committed to pushing its boundaries. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil Volinga Suite, our cutting-edge application for creating and editing 3DGS content, and Volinga UE Plugin v0.5.0, the most advanced plugin for integrating 3DGS into Unreal Engine.

These tools are designed to empower creators and streamline 3DGS adoption in Media & Entertainment, unlocking new possibilities for professionals in virtual production, VFX, and real-time 3D rendering.

Volinga Suite is a game-changer for 3DGS workflows, providing an intuitive and robust environment for working with this innovative technology. It is the first and only tool to support ACES Gaussian Splats, ensuring professional-grade color accuracy and HDR capabilities. With ACES-2065 support, creators can now achieve industry-standard color consistency across different production environments.

Beyond its advanced rendering capabilities, Volinga Suite is designed to fit seamlessly into existing workflows. We understand that flexibility is key, which is why we’ve enabled PLY to NVOL conversion, allowing users to bring 3DGS data from external sources into the Volinga ecosystem without friction. Additionally, Volinga Suite supports aligned COLMAP models, making it easier than ever to integrate data from structured photogrammetry workflows and tools like Reality Capture and Metashape.

This marks a significant milestone in the standardization of 3DGS for professional production, making it a viable and scalable solution for modern digital content creation.

Alongside Volinga Suite, we’re also introducing a major update to our Unreal Engine plugin. The Volinga UE Plugin v0.5.0 is packed with new features designed to make 3DGS more accessible and powerful than ever inside Unreal Engine.

One of the most exciting updates is the support for PLY files, meaning users can now directly load PLY-based 3DGS content without any additional steps. This greatly simplifies the process of integrating 3DGS into Unreal Engine workflows.

Another key advancement is the introduction of multiple 3DGS support, unlocking a whole new range of possibilities for scene composition, complex environments, and interactive content.

But that’s not all—this version also brings HDR capabilities for ACES NVOLs, ensuring that creators can fully utilize high dynamic range rendering inside Unreal Engine. With OCIO integration, color consistency is now effortless, allowing precise and professional-grade color management across different production pipelines.

Finally, we’re making the plugin more accessible than ever by offering it as a standalone product. For the first time, users can decide whether they want to use Volinga Suite or integrate the plugin into their own custom 3DGS workflows.
