Ray-Traced Gaussian Splats in Production: The June July Pipeline
DescriptionBuilding on the VidViz workflow introduced at SIGGRAPH 2025, this talk documents the next phase of the June July virtual production pipeline. We describe how VidViz planning tools informed the live-action shoot, and how captured location data was transformed into an HDR Gaussian splat using a combination of the XGrids scanner and the Arri Alexa 35. We detail the process of integrating that asset into Chaos Arena and the advantages of working with ray-traced splats in a flexible, real-time stage environment, including lighting evaluation, camera planning, and interactive iteration before a single frame of principal photography is committed.
