1. A method comprising:
receiving a three-dimensional (3D) asset comprising a plurality of primitives defined in a 3D space;
projecting a plurality of rays in different directions from at least a set of primitives from the plurality of primitives towards a bounding volume;
detecting a plurality of points at which a different set of the plurality of rays projected from each primitive of the set of primitives intersects the bounding volume;
defining a plurality of virtual cameras in the 3D space based on a set of points from the plurality of points;
capturing the plurality of primitives from one or more views based on a plurality of images generated from the plurality of virtual cameras; and
generating a set of splats that recreate details from the one or more views with an acceptable amount of loss and with less total data than the plurality of primitives based on image data that is captured in the plurality of images.
