Volugraph turns drone footage into an interactive 3D Gaussian splat you can share with stakeholders in the browser — no software install, no point cloud downloads, no desktop app.
Workflow
- Fly the site. Use parallel sweeps or an orbit pattern at a consistent altitude. Aim for 60 percent or more forward overlap between frames. Smooth, stable footage processes more reliably than fast or jerky passes.
- Trim and export. Remove takeoff and landing wobble. Export at full resolution from your drone's app or NLE.
- Upload to Volugraph. Create a project, add a new capture, and upload the clip. Processing runs in the cloud. Most aerial captures finish within an hour.
- Review and share. Open the completed splat in the browser viewer, navigate freely, and send a link. Viewers need no account or software.
Tips for cleaner results
- Fly in consistent lighting — overcast or golden hour works well for large sites.
- Keep the gimbal angle fixed within a pass (nadir or a set oblique angle).
- Add a second pass at the same altitude if results look soft, rather than mixing heights.
- Use the Studio plan (10-minute video cap) for large sites that need longer clip sequences.
