Blender 5.3 brings native Gaussian splatting: what archviz artists need to know

Blender 5.3 adds built-in support for importing and rendering 3D Gaussian splats, eliminating external add-ons and opening photogrammetry capture as a native workflow. The feature works across Cycles, EEVEE and Workbench, but carries current limitations around export, transforms and color space handling.

Client Clarity Is Not Approval: What AI Visualization Actually Changes in Your Workflow

AI visualization tools accelerate early design exploration but introduce new risks in multi-view consistency, architectural accuracy, and revision control. Studios must anchor all work in a production 3D scene and implement structured approval gates before generation.

This is just a good commercial of Ipad. Until a specific moment he draws it indeed, but later it's just an recorded de-realism process of this photo put to the timeline and played backwards. Mixed with what he did at the begining it looks like he'd be doing it by his finger alltogether, which is obviously impossible. On the wall size screen it'd be tough to draw eyebrows with your finger, let alone ipad... Anyway good result :)
