GaussianSplatting rendering in SOFA

[damienmarchal]

Hi all,

I recently started experiment to add support for GaussianSplatting rendering in SOFA so we can load 3d models made from reconstruction from videos. If you never heard about Gaussian Splatting, the simplest is to have a look at the seminal paper: https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting.

First results are very encouraging as visible in this small video:

NB: I will actively work on this up to the SofaWeek 2025.

Feel free to comment, or share good (or creasy) examples of use for such feature.
