“SkySplat Tutorial: From drone video to photo-realistic 3D scene” by Kyle Johnson at Blender Conference 2025

This tutorial covers the full process of turning low-cost drone footage into a photo-realistic 3D scene in Blender using SkySplat, a free and open-source addon. I’ll walk through frame extraction, COLMAP Structure-from-Motion, scene alignment in Blender, and 3D Gaussian Splat generation, done entirely within the Blender viewport.
