Empowering 3DGS: XGRIDS opens up LCC format

XGRIDS has officially opened its LCC format, the core data structure behind its 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) workflows.

This move marks a major milestone for the 3DGS community — transforming LCC from a proprietary format into an open standard that encourages collaboration, transparency, and innovation across spatial computing and world modelling.

The .lcc format delivers key advantages:

• Compact file sizes: Significantly smaller than standard PLY formats.

• Level-of-detail (LOD) streaming: Ideal for large-scale or high-density 3D scenes.

• Cross-platform compatibility: Seamless integration across visualization tools and workflows.

heliguy™ is a trusted XGRIDS partner, providing expert support, hardware solutions, and training to help professionals harness the power of 3D Gaussian Splatting for real-world applications.

For our customers, this open release unlocks even greater potential from the XGRIDS hardware and software. With the LCC format now open, users can integrate 3DGS data more efficiently into existing pipelines, collaborate across different tools, and take full advantage of a rapidly expanding open-source ecosystem.

The open release invites developers, researchers, and creators to build upon a shared foundation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in 3D Gaussian Splatting and the broader world of spatial computing.
