Product demo
From E57 upload to an interactive Gaussian Splat.
Upload your scan, follow its progress, inspect the completed scene in the browser and download the result from the same workspace.
What you get
The scan, as clients actually want to see it.
A point cloud is a working file. This is the same capture reconstructed as a scene anyone can open and understand — the surfaces, the light and the materials.
Built on your measurements
The scene starts from the scanner’s aligned geometry while compatible imagery and station poses drive full 3DGS optimization — not an artist’s impression.
Ready the same day
Most jobs finish inside the hour. Upload after a site visit and share the result before the report is written.
How it works
Three steps, and only one of them is yours.
- Step 01
Upload your E57
Straight from the scanner or your processing software. One file, one upload — no manual cleanup pass before the service can inspect it.
- Step 02
We do the work
Compatible observations run through 30,000 optimization iterations on a cloud GPU, with adaptive densification, pruning and degree-3 spherical harmonics.
- Step 03
Share the link
Open the result in your browser, check it and send it on. Anyone with the link can look around without an account.
Your files
What your scan needs to contain.
Most terrestrial scans exported with imagery already qualify. If yours does not, the upload tells you what is missing before you spend a credit.
- 01
Aligned geometry. Scans combined into one coordinate system by the software used after capture.
- 02
Imagery from the scanner. Panoramic or per-station photos captured alongside the geometry.
- 03
Station positions. Where the instrument stood for each setup, normally written into the E57 automatically.
Tested with scans from
- Leica RTC360
- Leica BLK360
- FARO Focus
- Trimble X7
- NavVis
- Matterport Pro3
Output inspection
How to verify your converted result.
Use the browser preview to examine appearance between viewpoints, then download the Gaussian PLY and inspect the attributes written by the converter.
Degree-3 spherical harmonics
A full degree-3 schema contains 45 f_rest_* coefficients beyond the base color. The file exposes them for independent inspection.
View-dependent appearance
Orbit a glossy floor, window or polished surface and check whether highlights respond naturally as the camera moves.
Densification and pruning
The trained Gaussian count can differ from the input point count because optimization adds useful detail and removes low-value primitives.
Measured limitations
Missing views, glass, mirrors, moving objects, poor registration and sparse imagery can still create gaps or artifacts. Every result should be reviewed.

Questions
Straight answers.
What input format does the automated converter accept?
The automated E57 to Gaussian Splat converter accepts .e57 files. Full training depends on how the E57 is structured and whether it contains aligned point geometry, compatible scanner imagery and station poses.
Is e57.gs a converter or a training service?
It is an online E57 to Gaussian Splat converter whose full-training path runs 3D Gaussian Splatting optimization. It does more than map each input point to one fixed-color Gaussian: compatible scanner imagery and poses provide observed views for novel view synthesis.
How can I inspect the result's appearance data?
After a successful conversion, inspect the downloaded Gaussian PLY header. A degree-3 result contains 45 f_rest_* properties in addition to the base color coefficients. This confirms the expected field structure, but not optimization by itself. You can also orbit reflective or glossy areas in the browser and look for appearance that changes with the viewpoint.
What happens if an E57 has no usable imagery or camera poses?
Geometry and per-point RGB can still produce a viewer-ready geometry-based splat, but fixed appearance is not the same as full novel-view training. It cannot recreate reflections, hidden surfaces or photographic observations that were never captured.
What output formats are available?
Successful jobs expose the Gaussian Splat assets produced by the converter, commonly PLY and/or SPLAT depending on the completed result. The Gaussian PLY can preserve optimized appearance attributes for compatible tools.
What is the difference between PLY and SPLAT?
PLY is a flexible container that can store point or Gaussian attributes and is useful for compatible editing and interchange tools. SPLAT is a compact viewer-oriented representation; feature support varies by viewer.
Do I need credits before I upload?
Yes. One credit is required to start an E57 conversion. It is charged only after a successful conversion, and failed conversions are not charged.
Why does training take longer than direct format conversion?
Direct point remapping is mainly bounded by file parsing and disk I/O. Full 3DGS training runs iterative GPU optimization, adaptive densification and pruning. A typical full-training job takes about 12–40 minutes, depending on the source data and available compute.
How long are files retained?
e57.gs is not permanent archival storage. Retention follows the limits shown in the service and operational requirements, so keep your own copies of source files and outputs.
