Honestly, PBR generation from 3D scans has always felt like a compromise.
We trained a diffusion-based model to better separate material properties from scan data, helping reduce noisy artifacts and generate cleaner PBR maps.
The difference is pretty obvious. Check the comparisons below.

MeshFlow (@metaai , CVPR 2026 Highlight) generates artist-quality meshes in ~1s — parallel flow transformer, continuous vertex coordinates, no quantization.
18x faster than autoregressive baselines. Image or point cloud conditioned. Explicit vertices and edges, so the output drops straight into 3D workflows. mesh-flow.github.io
Parallel generation is clearly the direction. Good to see it landing at this quality.

You can now animate Gaussian Splats in Blender with the latest update of the free 3DGS Render add-on by Kiri Innovations.
Introducing experimental light baking as well: 80.lv/articles/animate-gauss…

Gaussian splats shouldn't have locked lighting 💡
We’ve been working on a way to relight them in Blender by baking proxy mesh lighting directly into the splat color.
I'm putting this out under an "experimental" tag because the performance needs a lot of work and it's a rough work in progress. That said, it’s fun to mess around with on smaller scans.
If you want to see how it works, I left the YouTube tutorial in the comments. 👇

Honest answer to "do I need KIRI Engine Pro?":
Basic is actually free. Unlimited Photo Scan, LiDAR Scan, exports, no watermarks.
Upgrade when you hit one of these:
- reflective/transparent object you can't scan
- need 3D Gaussian Splatting, or 3DGS to Mesh
- pipeline needs PBR maps or quad mesh
- want AI-Enhanced LiDAR (cleaner geometry, less noise)
That's the whole decision.

Free tool: 3DGS Render 5.0 lets you animate 3D Gaussian Splats in #Blender
The new version of the #opensource add-on makes it possible to transfer animation from a proxy mesh - like a rigged 3D character - to a #3DGS scan

Gaussian splats are incredible—until you want them to move. Normally, that means crazy 4D capture setups.
Not anymore. Here is how anyone can rig and animate static splats using Mixamo. Blender playback can get brutal, so big props to @playcanvas—their brilliant Super Splat sequence import saves the day.

Graduation photos hit different when they're 3D Gaussian Splatting portraits.
Did 3D graduation portraits for a group of college girls. You can actually move through the moment.
Honestly, this is the capture use case we're most proud of.

KIRI Engine × blender ３DGSアドオン実践中。
ひとまず非力GPUのノートパソコンでも、黒色単色状態なら桜がゆらぐ！動く！ただしすぐFPS0.5とかそんな世界ｗ
明日タワーPCでやってみる🌸
参考メモ
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M
VRAM: 3GB
桜データ: 約 271,686 splats/頂点
3DGS設定: SH Degrees 3

Bear in mind the new features are quite experimental! We'll be publishing tutorials next week on using them - for now, just play and have fun😁

Featureless objects break most photogrammetry pipelines. Glossy, monochrome, no surface texture. Nothing for feature matching to grab onto.
We built a dedicated Featureless Object Scan Mode for exactly this. The chess knight here is basically worst-case: uniform color, smooth curves, specular highlights everywhere.
Left is Photo Scan Mode. Right is Featureless Object Mode.

If you've been hitting sensor-Failed errors in LiDAR Object Capture on iPhone 17 Pro, it was a bug deep in Apple's RealityKit framework.
We tracked it down and filed a ticket with Apple. The fix is coming in iOS 26.6 (coming soon).

1-click. Fully fixed. 100% free.
If you do any 3D printing or scanning, you know the absolute nightmare of broken, non-manifold meshes. Your slicer hates it, and fixing it by hand is not an easy task.
We found this incredible free tool by @ssh4net that automatically patches holes, seals geometry, and gives you a perfectly watertight model instantly.
👇 Link to the tool in the replies!
