If you are running a specific Blender version, match it to the corresponding build and check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details.
3DGS Render by KIRI Engine uses Blender's Cycles and Eevee render engines to render 3D Gaussian Splatting scans. Beyond rendering, the add-on lets you edit and animate those scans inside Blender. Because it uses both engines, you can render your Gaussian Splatting scans in either Cycles or Eevee. To help you get started, the add-on comes with documentation, and a demo video is available.
3DGS Render by KIRI Engine is listed as free here and is distributed under the GPL license.
