Animating Point Clouds & Models with NUBIGON
NUBIGON lets you animate point clouds, Gaussian splats, and CAD/BIM/mesh models, adding motion and clarity to your presentations. Whether highlighting site characteristics or demonstrating modeling precision, animations help communicate complex data more effectively.
Animating Point Clouds
Point clouds in NUBIGON are fully animatable, turning static datasets into dynamic, engaging presentations. Animation helps break down complexity, communicate scope, and focus on key areas. Here, each floor is a separate point cloud, enabling an accordion-style reveal of the construction site.

Animating Point Cloud Classes
In NUBIGON, you can animate individual classes of a classified point cloud. This makes it easy to highlight different classifications and reveal site characteristics, clearly demonstrated in 3Di’s classified aerial LiDAR survey.

Animating BIM Models
In NUBIGON, you can animate BIM models and their components, just like point clouds. This demo of a school's scan-to-BIM project uses object animations to highlight BIM’s quality and scope, improving how project details are communicated.

Animating CAD Models
With NUBIGON, you can animate CAD models to add motion and life to your presentations. Individual CAD elements, like the ceiling fans in this floor plan by c2a.studio, can also be animated, bringing energy to the apartment survey presentation, which includes both scans and 2D plans.

Animating Meshes & Gaussian Splats
In NUBIGON, you can animate meshes and Gaussian splats alongside point clouds. Here, existing furniture captured as point clouds is virtually replaced by these assets, enabling quick design iterations, clearer comparisons, and more realistic project presentations.

Turntable Animation
Turntable animations in NUBIGON allow you to rotate objects smoothly, providing a full 360-degree view of your model or point cloud. This technique is perfect for showcasing detailed scans, such as the scan by Primal Technology Services, offering a comprehensive look at every angle of the project.

Animating Exploded View
Explode and collapse animations in NUBIGON help visualize a model’s layers or components. This method perfectly demonstrates how different parts of a project come together. In MaxVision’s residential building survey demo, 2D CAD plans are animated in this style, highlighting key deliverables.
