train without mlp

[cv-lab-x]

hi, thanks for your great work, is it possible to modify anchor points without mlp in order to change scaffold-gs to explicit model? in unity / UE or other applications

Looking forward to your reply, thanks!

Hi, thanks for recognizing that the MLP is not essential in scaffold. We considered removing mlp but it will lead to performance degradation.

performance degradation? you mean the quality or the rendering speed? have you already tested ? @inspirelt

The opacity mlp dominates the gaussian selection process, so removing it will has an impact on the rendering speed.
