RT-Splatting: Joint Reflection-Transmission Modeling with Gaussian Splatting

Researchers introduced RT-Splatting, a Gaussian splatting framework for semi-transparent specular scenes.

It separates geometric occupancy from optical opacity, using a hybrid surface-volume renderer to better model reflection and transmission.

A specular-aware gradient gating scheme improves training stability and sharpens visual results.

The approach fixes a major failure case in 3D scene rendering, enabling clearer transparency, reflections, and editing.
