One other little easter egg you may not have noticed. There's an American flag gently fluttering in the breeze on top of a nearby building. We were discussing whether to adds some birds as well, but that never made the final cut. You a

Yes, the cars are separated out and procedurally animated. They're splats, like the rest of the scene. Easily done in PlayCanvas - simple but effective!

I completely agree with you. I'm constantly bowled over by the creativity of the SuperSplat/PlayCanvas communities.

I built PlayCanvas in 2011 to power video games. Here we are in 2026 and it's powering strawberries.

The SOGS compression technique works well. You can get 1M Gaussians with full spherical harmonics in about 14MB. There's a good article about it on the PlayCanvas blog: https://blog.playcanvas.com/playcanvas-adopts-sogs

When you say that PlayCanvas is commercial, that's a little misleading. The PlayCanvas Engine (analogous to Three.js and Babylon.js) is free and open source (MIT). The PlayCanvas Engine is where you'll find all the cool 3DGS tech.

To be as accurate as possible, yes, you need to consider lighting/shadows. But trust me, in many circumstances, you can copy+paste gaussians and it looks 'good enough'. It depends on the scene and the edit you want to make.
