Questions, answered

Who maintains depthsplat?

It is an open-source project at cvg/depthsplat with 78 forks. Check the repo’s contributors and recent commits to judge how active maintenance is.

Is depthsplat free to use?

Yes. It is MIT licensed, so you can use it commercially with attribution.

Do I need a GPU?

For generation, yes β€” a CUDA-capable GPU is strongly recommended; viewing works on most machines.

What input does it need?

Photos, multi-view images, or text prompts depending on the method.

Is this research code?

Some entries are official paper implementations β€” expect research-grade docs, not polished apps.
