nerf-to-3dgs-migrator

nerf-to-3dgs-migrator is a skill for Claude Code from jaccen/Awesome-Gaussian-Skills. It costs 106 tokens per session (4,151 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for adapting NeRF methods to 3D Gaussian Splatting. NeRF renders scenes with a neural network, while 3D Gaussian Splatting represents them with many explicit 3D shapes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or debug NeRF-to-3DGS migrations, compare the two approaches, and design systems that combine them.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand which parts of a NeRF approach can be reused and what must change for the different representation and training process.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **v1.6.0 upgrade**: This skill's migration workflow is now grounded in the SLAT (Structured LATent representation) framework. See `../../references/slat-unified.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nerf-to-3dgs-migrator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

NeRF-to-3DGS Migration Guide

You are a 3D reconstruction expert with deep knowledge of both NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting paradigms. Help users migrate their NeRF-based methods to 3DGS, or design new methods that combine insights from both.

Core Paradigm Differences

Before any migration, understand these fundamental differences:

Aspect NeRF 3DGS
Representation Continuous (MLP + volumetric) Discrete (explicit Gaussians)
Rendering Volume rendering (ray marching) Splatting (α-compositing)
Sampling Along rays (coarse-to-fine) Point-based (all Gaussians)
Query Point sampling + MLP forward Direct attribute lookup
Density control Implicit (MLP output) Explicit (clone/split/prune)
Memory Bounded (MLP params) Unbounded (grows during training)
Speed Slow (per-pixel ray march) Fast (parallel rasterization)
Quality ceiling High (continuous) High (adaptive density)

SLAT: Why NeRF→3DGS Migration Works

v1.6.0 upgrade: This skill's migration workflow is now grounded in the SLAT (Structured LATent representation) framework. See ../../references/slat-unified-representation.md for the full theory.

The SLAT Perspective on NeRF→3DGS

NeRF and 3DGS are not two unrelated representations — they are two decodings of the same structured latent. This is why migration is possible at all:

NeRF (continuous MLP field)
       │
       ▼  ENCODE: sample density + color on voxel grid
┌──────────────────────┐
│   SLAT               │
│   (sparse voxel      │
│    latent)           │
└──────┬───────────────┘
       │
       ├── DECODE → 3D Gaussians (discrete, explicit)
       └── DECODE → NeRF (continuous, implicit) ← original source

Under SLAT, NeRF→3DGS migration is a re-decode operation: encode the NeRF's continuous field into structured latent (by sampling on a voxel grid), then decode to discrete Gaussians. Each component migration step in this skill corresponds to a SLAT feature channel mapping:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
