Point cloud data can be difficult to understand. Pointools enhances
the clarity of of standard data visualisation with point lighting and
stereoscopic viewing. Unintelligible data sets come to life when viewed
in Pointools View.
In addition to scan data, 3d models from a number of popular formats
and drawings can be imported for viewing.
Animation
Quickly produce stunning animations with Pointools View Pro. Animation control is based on a timeline and can be quickly setup using the animation wizard. For more advanced users the Graph Editor provides fine control over key values and interpolation. Once setup, an animation can be rendered out to a movie file ready for distribution and playback on any machine*. Render quality surpasses viewport quality using professional anti-aliasing and motion blur effects delivery smooth movie quality motion.
*Playback requires a standard media player and does not require any Pointools products to be installed.
Real-time clip box
Areas of point data can be quickly isolated using the clip box. Points
are clipped out as you simply drag the edges of the box. You can also
rotate the box for effective isolation of non-axis aligned faces.
Measuring
Measuring distances and extracting point locations is done in an easy
and intuitive manner. Measurement data can be exported to a comma or
tab-delimited file ready for import into spreadsheets or other applications.
Imaging
Scaled orthographic or perspective viewport captures can be rendered
to any resolution, limited only by the amount of memory you have available
and your graphics card. In orthographic projection, ruler markings and
scaling text can be optionally added to the image enabling correct scaling
for printing or import into a CAD package. For the highest image quality,
anti-aliasing can be enabled producing a smooth crisp output with reduced
jagginess.
Annotation
Rapidly attach notes to point, model or drawing geometry complete with Hyperlink (to web or files) capability. Notes are
saved in the project file enabling creation and sharing of multiple
views and annotations of data sets.
Stereo Viewing
The 3D Stereoscopic feature brings data to life delivering a more immersive
3D environment and helping to understand visually complex environments.
The plug-in supports multiple viewing methods including inexpensive anaglyph
glasses, shutter-glasses*, autostereoscopic screens or any device supporting
Quadbuffered GL stereo*.
