What it is¶

A directory for artists, coders and researchers working with Gaussian Splatting, photogrammetry, NeRF, LiDAR and related 3D/4D capture.

• Creator browsing: filter artists by medium and application tags.
• Portfolio review: inspect linked portfolios to evaluate work or find collaborators.
• Profile submission: add a creator profile through a form or GitHub pull request.

It documents no capture runtime, model, API, pricing or production workflow. Use it to discover practitioners or present a portfolio; choose a separate capture or 3DGS tool for production.

Development line¶

• 2026-04-08 — Volumography website referenced in launch thread. On 2026-04-08, a link pointed to the Volumography website in the launch thread. This records only that the link appeared on that date, not a product launch, feature release or capability claim.

What changed¶

• 2025-05-03: Creative.Tech already used Volumography as a category for a VR and photogrammetry project, so the label predates its April 2026 association with Volumography.com.
• 2026-04-08: Volumography.com was tied to the project; available primary material shows a curated directory, not a dated launch announcement.
• 2026-07-21: GitHub's 3dgs topic index recorded an update for the repository; the index does not show the scope of the change.

How to use this¶

1. Filter creators in the gallery by technique or application, including 3DGS, photogrammetry, NeRF, LiDAR, 4DGS, VFX and XR. — https://volumography.com/
2. Inspect work through individual creator links; the directory provides references, not capture or rendering software. — https://github.com/nixliuxin/Awesome-Gaussian-Splatting-Artists
3. To get listed, submit the form or fork the repository, add an asset folder with a creators.json entry, and open a pull request. — https://github.com/nixliuxin/Awesome-Gaussian-Splatting-Artists/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

Best practices¶

• Use the submission form for a standard listing. Use a pull request on GitHub when you need full control over profile assets and metadata. — https://github.com/nixliuxin/Awesome-Gaussian-Splatting-Artists/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
• For a pull request, use a lowercase hyphenated creator ID, a square roughly 400x400 avatar, a 3:2 roughly 1200x800 cover, and gallery images under 500 KB in a supported raster format. — https://github.com/nixliuxin/Awesome-Gaussian-Splatting-Artists/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
• Do not list image paths in creators.json. The workflow generates the assets manifest automatically when you submit the pull request. — https://github.com/nixliuxin/Awesome-Gaussian-Splatting-Artists/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

Superseded by this¶

• Nothing marked obsolete yet.

Still unknown¶

• No dated primary launch announcement ties 2026-04-08 to the directory; the date is a first known mention, not a confirmed launch.
• Volumography refers to both a broader creative practice and a specific creator directory; we do not merge them into one product history without an explicit identity decision.
• Primary sources document no capture model, API, pricing, benchmark or production workflow.
• The live text page showed a loading state with zero creators while indexed snapshots and the repository list entries; the live total is unverified.
