Blender 5.3 has been released with Gaussian Splatting support

The Blender team has released version 5.3, which includes native support for 3D Gaussian Splatting. The update expands capabilities for working with modern graphics formats and rendering quality.

The latest version also implements light dispersion for the Cycles engine, adds DLSS 4.5 denoising, and introduces new Material Lighting nodes. These features improve the accuracy of optical effect simulations and accelerate scene processing during the workflow.

The new release provides developers and 3D artists with tools to integrate neural reconstruction methods and advanced upscaling technologies into their existing pipelines.
