Fernando Rivas-Manzaneque is the CEO and co-founder of Volinga AI, a spin-off born from early research into 3D Gaussian Splatting for professional film and virtual production. In this episode, Fernando walks through what Volinga actually does: from its Unreal Engine plugin, which brings relighting, depth of field, reflections, and proxy mesh-based materials to Gaussian Splats, to the newly released Volinga Suite, a full end-to-end pipeline built on top of LightField Studio with HDR and ACES support for Hollywood-grade workflows. We cover real production use cases, including a digital replica of Auschwitz-Birkenau and a Paramount+ TV show that replaced a dangerous location shoot with a VP set. Fernando also breaks down the difference between additive and mesh-based lighting, the EnVol file format, and where 4D Gaussian Splatting and generative splat creation are heading in 2026.
