Stochastic Gaussian Splatting Renders Hundreds of Millions of Gaussians in Real Time
June 4, 2026
Gaussian Point Splatting replaces tile-based rasterization with stochastic pixel-sized point sampling using 64-bit atomics and parallel primitives, scaling to hundreds of millions of Gaussians in real time. Hierarchical frustum and occlusion culling further accelerate rendering. Trade-off is slight noise versus the original method, published in ACM SIGGRAPH 2026.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can render scenes with hundreds of millions of Gaussians in real time, unblocking use cases like large-scale 3DGS scenes that previously hit hard performance ceilings.
●
researcherThe stochastic formalization of per-Gaussian point counts and opacity distribution is a novel contribution worth examining for downstream differentiable rendering work.
