Nerfstudio
Open-source modular framework for neural radiance field development.
About
Nerfstudio is a production-grade, open-source Python framework for creating, training, and rendering NeRFs. It modularizes each component of the pipeline, ships a real-time web viewer, and bundles the flagship Nerfacto method alongside many other models.
Launched by Berkeley students in the KAIR lab and published at SIGGRAPH 2023, it became the standard research toolkit for neural 3D reconstruction, with 11,000+ GitHub stars and derivative projects like SDFStudio built on top of it.
