SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING SPLAT-BASED DIFFERENTIABLE TWO-DIMENSIONAL RENDERINGS

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a method that can include obtaining a 3D mesh comprising polygons and texture/shading data. The method can include rasterizing the 3D mesh to obtain a 2D raster comprising pixels and coordinates respectively associated with a subset of pixels. The method can include determining an initial color value for the subset of pixels based on the coordinates of the pixel and the associated shading/texture data. The method can include constructing a splat at the coordinates of a respective pixel. The method can include determining an updated color value for a respective pixel based on a weighting of the subset of splats to generate a 2D rendering of the 3D mesh based on the coordinates of a pixel and a splat.
