View Pro Product Information
What is Pointools View Pro?
Pointools View Pro is a high performance point cloud, model and dwg visualisation package, ideal for project visualisation management and presentation.
Benefits of View Pro:
Visualise: View huge point cloud datasets easily and quickly with Pointools View Pro. Powered by the Pointools Vortex engine, View Pro gives you the flexibility and power to examine scan data with greater clarity.
Measure: Take point or dist measurements with View Pro. Measurements can be exported to CSV file and are included in ortho image output.
Animate: Produce high quality video footage in avi or mov format. Movies are crisp and smooth using features such as motion-blur and antialiasing for great results.
View Pro Features:
Viewing
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 extract point locations is done in an easier an 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 emersive 3d environment and helping to understand visually complex environments. The plug-in support multiple viewing methods including inexpensive anaglyph glasses, shutter-glasses*, autostereoscopic screens or any device supporting Quadbuffered GL stereo*.
* Via OpenGL Quadbuffer mode. Requires a supporting graphics card and driver
