This repository contains ShapeSplats, a large dataset of Gaussian splats spanning 65K objects in 87 unique categories (gathered from ShapeNetCore, ShapeNet-Part, and ModelNet).

ModelNet_Splats consists of the 12 objects across 40 categories of ModelNet40.

The data is distributed as ply files where information about each Gaussian is encoded in custom vertex attributes.
Please see [DATA.md](DATA.md) for details about the data.

If you use the ModelNet_Splats data, you agree to abide by the [ModelNet terms of use](https://modelnet.cs.princeton.edu/#). You are only allowed to redistribute the data to your research associates and colleagues provided that they first agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

If you use this data, please cite the ShapeSplat paper along with main ShapeNet technical report.
