Spirula Studio: One-Binary Open-Source 3DGS Trainer, 10M Gaussians in 8GB VRAM on Any GPU
joemeno · x · 2026-09-25
Open-source project Spirula Studio packs the entire 3D Gaussian Splatting pipeline into a single self-contained binary: feed it a raw video, get a usable splat and textured mesh out.
- Zero setup: no Python/PyTorch, no separate COLMAP install — turning "three hours of environment config" into "click and run"
- Cross-vendor GPUs: Vulkan compute means it runs on NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Apple GPUs
- Trains 10M full-SH3 Gaussians in 8 GB VRAM, with built-in camera pose estimation
- Native fisheye, 360°, and equirectangular support, skipping distortion preprocessing
- Can also recover real-world scale and orientation from photo/video metadata
It has shipped roughly weekly releases since September and sits near 1,000 stars on GitHub.
