Get STAGEit Optimiser

Built for our R&D. Shared with the community.

STAGEit Optimiser started life as an internal development tool at Spatial Creative. As it grew, we found ourselves building tools we thought would be useful to other spatial developers too - so we made it available for free.

It remains an evolving R&D tool where we experiment with new spatial workflows and make the useful ones available to the wider community.

Three ways to make your spatial workflow faster.

One app. Three faster ways to work.

Create animated Gaussian Splats from images and videos, optimise complex 3D models for Vision Pro, and send content wirelessly into your STAGEit scene. STAGEit Optimiser brings it all together on your Mac, reducing tool switching and manual transfers from creation to delivery.

  • Optimise

    Prepare complex 3D models for performant spatial experiences.

  • Create

    Turn images or videos into animated Gaussian Splats for people and objects.

  • Send

    Connect directly to STAGEit and send content wirelessly into your scene.

Optimise complex 3D models

Great-looking models can be surprisingly heavy.

Whether you've created a model yourself, downloaded one from a 3D library, or generated it with AI, complex geometry can make it difficult to use effectively on Apple Vision Pro. STAGEit Optimiser helps you identify where your model can be simplified, without simply applying a blanket reduction to everything.

How Optimise works

  1. Analyse

    STAGEit Optimiser identifies geometry and structure that can be optimised.

  2. Review

    Review the recommendations and choose which optimisations you want to apply.

  3. Optimise

    Apply your selections and export an optimised USDZ, ready for your Vision Pro workflow.

Create animated Gaussian Splatsfrom your images & videos

Experiment with animated Gaussian Splats from ordinary images and video. Crop and trim your source, isolate people, control reconstruction depth and generate an animated sequence locally on your Mac.

This is experimental technology, not a room-scanning tool. We’re currently seeing the best results with people, animals and smaller or close-up subjects.

Alpha: currently outputs .splatseq animated Splat Sequences for playback in STAGEit. A .splatseq is an archive of individual splat frames, which can also be extracted for use in other workflows.

Portrait/macro capture example

NB: This Alpha is intended for people, objects, or subjects captured at around 2 metres from the camera. The resulting Splat Sequence is designed to be around 1 metre in real-world scale.

It is not intended for scanning rooms, buildings, or large environments.

Experimental technology: Splat generation uses Apple’s SHARP research model. SHARP is not bundled with STAGEit Optimiser and is downloaded separately when required. Apple’s applicable licence information is provided within the app.
