Heat Kernel Textures wins ECCV 2026 Best Paper Award, contributor says
A project contributor describes HKTex as a rethink of 3D texturing, inspired by 3D Gaussian splatting but using heat kernels without splatting.
TLDR
A project contributor announced on September 10 that Heat Kernel Textures (HKTex) received the Best Paper Award at ECCV 2026. Criticizing UV-mapping as anchoring 3D texturing “to the past,” the contributor describes HKTex as taking inspiration from 3D Gaussian splatting while using heat kernels without splatting.
