## Abstract (arXiv)

Textured Gaussians improve local appearance capacity, but assigning the same texture resolution to every primitive wastes storage on low-detail or weakly visible regions. We introduce AdaTex4D, an adaptive texture-capacity module for deformation-based 4D Gaussian Splatting. Each Gaussian carries packed RGBA triplanes whose two axes grow independently according to visibility normalized screen-space gradients and deformed local scales. Experiments on N3DV and PanopticSports show that AdaTex4D reduces texture storage by more than half while preserving reconstruction quality. Under fixed memory budgets, adaptive allocation also improves quality over uniform texture assignment and reduces overall model and peak memory. These results show that dynamic, anisotropic texture allocation provides a more efficient way to distribute local appearance capacity in 4D Gaussian representations.
