Hey Product Hunt! I'm Björn, a solo developer from Germany. I built RadianceKit because I was fascinated by 3D Gaussian Splatting but frustrated by the workflow: install Python, set up CUDA, run COLMAP, fiddle with command-line scripts... all on a Linux box or a beefy NVIDIA rig. I thought: this should just be an app. Drop in photos, get a 3D scene back. So I rewrote the entire pipeline in Metal for Apple Silicon. No external dependencies, no cloud — everything runs locally on your Mac. In the latest version even the camera alignment (Structure-from-Motion) is native, so there's no COLMAP to install anymore. And there's a live 3D preview while training, so you can watch your scene come to life in real time. Some things I'm proud of: - Simple Mode that genuinely works with one click - Scene-Class Presets (Render / Outdoor / Indoor) that tune the pipeline for what you're actually capturing - Native on-device SfM — the whole pipeline, photos to splat, runs sandboxed on your Mac - Export to pretty much every Gaussian Splatting format out there - Localized in 18 languages, in-app guide included I'm also working on an iPhone companion app — capture with LiDAR + ARKit on the phone, train on the Mac. I'd love to hear what you think. If you have photos of something you'd like to turn into 3D, give it a shot — the trial is free for 3 days. And if you're curious about performance on your specific Mac model, let me know — I'm collecting data points across different Apple Silicon chips. Happy to answer any questions here!
