StorySplat 2.5: Splat Tours Learn to Cast Shadows

StorySplat 2.5 added shadows from directional, spotlight, and point light sources cast by the geometry of the scanned scene itself to the web platform for interactive 3D Gaussian Splatting tours, plus splat clouds with moving shadows and wind, an expanded editor for PLY, SOG, SPZ, and GLB formats, a WebMCP bridge for browser AI agents, and moved animation and VR out of beta.

Directional, spotlight, and point light are now blocked by scene geometry: walls and furniture cast shadows. Splat clouds with moving shadows and experimental wind have been added.

🌍 Light occlusion solves the classic splat viewer problem—see-through walls. The beta Scene Agent edits the scene directly, while the WebMCP bridge exposes 100+ editor tools to external AI agents with manual confirmation.

👤 The editor on storysplat.com is free to use without a credit card: upload .ply, .splat, .spz, or .sog files and try shadows, clouds, and the AI agent. Animation and VR have exited beta: MP4 export up to 4K/360° and viewing on Meta Quest, Pico, and Vision Pro, with paid plans starting at $19/month. Verify rights for filming and interiors yourself.
