Open-source Splat Edit Engine enables object manipulation in Gaussian Splat scenes

A new open-source toolkit called Splat Edit Engine (SpEdE) has been released, designed for manipulating elements within Gaussian Splat Scenes. Developed as an entry for the #OpenSourceHiggsfield contest, SpEdE allows users to remove objects, replace them with new elements generated from text prompts, or extract individual objects as separate files. The toolkit integrates several open-weight models, including SAM 3.1, Qwen-Image 2.1, MoGe-3, and TripoSplat, and can be run locally within ComfyUI or via a simple web UI. Developers note that it has primarily been tested on Ubuntu with an RTX 5090 and may require tuning for systems with less VRAM or for Windows users. AI

IMPACT Enables new workflows for editing and generating 3D content using open-source models.
