Point Clouds Rendered with NUBIGON’s X-Ray Display Mode
Our X-ray display mode makes complex point clouds easier to interpret by highlighting contours and uncovering hidden features. Whether visualizing terrestrial, handheld, mobile, or aerial Lidar data, this mode enhances spatial insights, especially when combined with CAD/BIM models.
Rendering Terrestrial Laser Scans
Excelsior Measuring’s waterwork project demonstrates the effectiveness of X-ray rendering. By highlighting contours and eliminating obstructed views, the X-ray mode makes it easier to understand complex structures and provides a clearer perspective of the entire system.

Rendering Handheld Scan Data
Handheld scanners make data collection quick and convenient, but understanding the spatial relationships can be challenging. NUBIGON’s x-ray mode offers a clean and insightful view of handheld scans, as seen in Derek Lawrence’s stunning capture of Lindisfarne Castle’s architectural details.

Rendering Mobile Mapping Data
Mobile mapping projects, like James Pick’s capture of Blackfriars Riverside and Bridge in London, are greatly enhanced by NUBIGON’s X-ray display mode. Using a single dedicated object color highlights the structural elements, allowing for clearer visualization of the project’s complex layout.

Rendering Aerial LiDAR Data
Aerial LiDAR scans, like 3Di’s capture of a historic town, gain new clarity with NUBIGON’s X-ray mode. This rendering style not only enhances the visibility of terrain and structures but also supports classified data, providing a comprehensive and organized view of large-scale environments.

Joint Point Cloud & Model Visualization
Jointly rendering point clouds with CAD or BIM models can be challenging, but NUBIGON’s X-ray mode makes it seamless. The transparency of the point cloud enhances visibility, allowing for detailed modeling insights, as demonstrated in this scan-to-BIM project by Advanced 3D Laser Solutions.

Silhouette-Style X-Ray Rendering
Leap3D presents its scan of the Enneüs Heerma Brug bridge in Amsterdam using silhouette-style X-ray rendering. This rendering style emphasizes the structure’s form, offering a visually striking and intuitive representation of the bridge’s complex design. Focusing on the contours enhances the understanding of the architectural and engineering elements, making it ideal for presentations and analysis.

Inverted X-Ray Rendering
The inverted X-ray style enables point cloud rendering on light backgrounds. As shown in Twindl’s scan of the Dom Turm in Utrecht, this approach enhances data presentation while expanding creative possibilities, contributing to a distinctive visual brand identity.
