No capture hardware required
Skip multi-view photo walks and LiDAR sessions. Start from text, one reference image, or one short video clip.
Gaussian Splat · Generate, don't capture
Gaussian Splat Generator
Create explorable 3D Gaussian Splat scenes from a prompt, one image, or a short video—no LiDAR scan or multi-view capture required. Walk the result in Topview Canvas and send screenshots back to your image and video pipeline.
Optional: add one image or one video (up to 30s). Image and video cannot be used together.
What is Gaussian Splatting?
3D Gaussian Splatting represents a scene as many oriented ellipsoids instead of a traditional polygon mesh. That makes free camera movement through the space feel natural. On Topview, splats are generated from AI inputs rather than from scanning a real location, so you can concept environments without a capture-first workflow.
Why generate splats instead of capturing them
Built for creators who need navigable scenes inside a Canvas workflow, not a photogrammetry export pipeline.
Explorable, not a flat wrap
Move through the splat in three dimensions with keyboard and mouse, then frame the shot you want.
Screenshot back to Canvas
Capture viewpoints in common aspect ratios and drop new image nodes beside your 3D World card for downstream creation.
Same Marble-powered pipeline
Gaussian Splat worlds on Topview use Marble models inside Canvas—one workflow for concepting and capture.
How to generate a Gaussian Splat scene
From prompt to explorable splat in Canvas.
01
Open 3D World in Canvas
From the Creation sidebar, open the 3D World dock on your Infinite Canvas.
02
Describe or reference the scene
Write a prompt and optionally add one image or one video. Choose Marble 1.1 or Marble 1.1 Plus, review credits, then generate.
03
Enter the splat and capture
Open full-screen exploration, move through the Gaussian Splat world, and screenshot the framing you need back onto the canvas.
Capture-first splatting vs AI generation
Both produce splats—Topview focuses on generation and Canvas integration.
Capture-first splatting workflows
- Typically start by photographing or scanning a real location from many angles.
- Strong when fidelity to an existing place is the goal.
- Often focus on reconstructing an existing place for viewing or downstream delivery.
Topview Gaussian Splat generation
- Starts from text, one image, or one short video—no on-site capture session.
- Best for concept environments, branded spaces, and shot planning.
- Explore inside Canvas and capture frames into your image and video pipeline.
