Turbo Mesh

Cintoo Cloud’s 3D View is now fully powered by TurboMesh™, Cintoo’s mesh streaming engine at the scanner's resolution.

Since its first release in 2019, Cintoo Cloud has been leveraging a unique point cloud-to-mesh technology that turns each scanning position into a multiresolution 3D mesh that can be streamed quickly in a web browser. This technology preserves the sources sensor accuracy and the projects structure (including panoramic images) while compressing the raw scan data by 10 to 20 times, making it much easier to upload and store. Experts and non-experts can navigate their scans in a pure mesh-based experience, viewing 3D surfaces that reveal details they have never seen before, removing the ambiguity of point cloud viewing.

With the new TurboMesh™ engine, our acclaimed mesh-based viewing experience extends to complete 3D and scan-to-scan navigation! With TurboMesh, anyone can navigate the scans and experience the as-built data as 3D surfaces down to the resolution of the source scanner: no compromise to accuracy!

Tip & Trick #1 when navigating in 3D Navi mode using TurboMesh™
Experience 3D Navigation using either one of the following 3D camera setups. Click on Cameras in the vertical toolbar:

• Ground allows smooth navigation with 3D camera, always parallel to the floor, using left mouse button.
  • Left mouse button: move parallel to the floor
  • Right mouse button: pan in any direction, including up and down
  • Shift + Left mouse button: rotate around current position
  • Ctrl + Left or right mouse button: orbit around the clicked 3D point
    
    
• Arc rotate provides a navigation experience similar to Autodesk ReCap.
  • Left mouse button: orbit around the clicked 3D point
  • Right mouse button: pan in any direction, including up and down
  • Mouse wheel: Zoom in/out
  • Shift + Left or right mouse button: rotate around current position
    
    

Tip & Trick #2 when navigating in 3D Navi mode using TurboMesh™
It might be useful to activate the Backface culling when navigating scans in 3D Navi mode with TurboMesh™.

• Backface culling will remove the mesh pieces, which generally are not oriented toward the camera.
• Activate the Backface culling in the Display Settings from the vertical toolbar:
  
  
• It is beneficial to see the inside of a building from the outside. Example:
  • Without back face culling:
    
    
  • With back face culling:
    
    
• In 3D Navi mode Backface culling may remove unwanted mesh pieces from other scans to get a cleaner scene. Example:
  • Without Backface culling:
    
    
  • With Backface culling:
