4D Gaussian Splatting & Volumetric Capture Experiments

Personal R&D by Kartikye Kashyap in Gaussian Splatting, NeRFs and 4D Gaussian Splats generated from a single monocular video on consumer hardware.

Role: R&D, Capture & Pipeline

Kartikye's experimentation guides his workflow, which uses raw performance capture alongside emerging 3D and generative technology. He has been experimenting with Gaussian Splatting and NeRFs since 2022.

Recently he used Apple's SHARP model to generate 4D Gaussian Splats from a single monocular video, producing sequential .ply outputs. The industry standard needs tens to hundreds of synchronised cameras and heavy compute; his workflow runs locally on consumer-level hardware.

This R&D feeds directly into his commercial and film work, from virtual production and previz to new kinds of AI-driven VFX.
