Low.3D        C/C++ SDK

The Ultimate 3D Optimization to save TIME and MONEY while increasing QUALITY:

High Quality Decimation –

polygon count reduction
similar to lossy compression: MP3 for music, JPEG for images

  • Simplifies models to reduce computation and visualization times
  • Reduces model sizes to mitigate storage and bandwidth requirements
  • Improves export quality for polygonal formats (STL, OBJ, PLY, GLTF, etc)

    • Instant LOD-chains –

    multi-resolution representations with best possible balance between model size and level of details

  • Reduces computation time by one step generation
  • Instant any-level LOD retrieval without addition computations
  • Multi-resolution streaming ready for on-line visualization

    • Model topology enhancements and geometry repairs –

    fixing mesh defects and enhancing topology features for Reality Capture models

  • Fixes mesh defects for 3D scans and photogrammetry
  • Restoring straight edges and plane surfaces for photogrammetry models
  • Converting non-manifold topology
  • Boolean mesh operations, offsets, intersections and waterproofing

    • low.3D Technology addresses challenges of working with large and complex 3D models:


    COMPLEXITY

    Models are unnecessarily complex or oversampled

    RESOURCES

    Immense bandwidth and storage requirements

    VISUALIZATION

    Inferior visual quality Long rendering Emes


    low.3D Technology provides the advanced solutions:


    HIGH QUALITY POLYGON REDUCTION AND OPTIMIZATION

    to reduce complexity, decrease model size and repair topology

    INSTANT LOD-CHAIN GENERATION

    to increase visualization speed and reduce resource consumption

    EXQUISITE VISUALIZATION

    to control optimization and present your work
