Aescripts Gaussian Splatting 1.7.1 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesGaussian Splatting is a plugin that brings captured real world scenes into After Effects. A phone scan or camera capture of a room, a street or an object can be trained into a splat file, and this tool lets you import that file, move a camera through it and render it inside your composition. Designers use it to place titles and graphics inside photoreal spaces without a full three dimensional rebuild of the scene. Updated Aug 17, 2026.
Key Features
- Imports Gaussian splat files in ply format into After Effects
- Combines up to ten splat models in a single scene
- GPU rendering for smooth real time scene playback
- Camera moves and animation with normal After Effects tools
- 3D Null Generator tool for placing elements in the scene
How to Download

- Run the installer for your After Effects version.
- Restart After Effects, add the effect to a solid and load your splat file.
System Requirements
You need a Mac with a supported version of Adobe After Effects and a capable graphics card, since scenes render on the GPU. Large scans with millions of splats run best on Apple silicon machines with generous memory.
FAQs
Where do splat files come from?
Capture apps and tools such as phone scanners and desktop trainers turn photos of a real place or object into splat files you can import.
Can I animate the view?
Yes. The scene responds to the After Effects camera, so you can keyframe moves through the captured space like any other three dimensional layer setup.
Is every ply file a splat file?
No. The ply container also holds meshes and point clouds. You need a ply that contains Gaussian splat data from a splat training tool.
