New possibilities for point cloud visualization with Veesus Arena4D
TitleSearch for a new method for point cloud processing
OmegaGeo, a team specializing in the capture, processing, and editing of point cloud data, focuses on creating high-quality 3D models and BIM plans for clients. Their workflow relies on specialized point cloud processing software. When a tool used by the team was acquired by another company, OmegaGeo decided it was time for an upgrade.
Brett Duffield, Director of OmegaGeo, explained that he was familiar with the company that had acquired the software and its reputation for poor support. This led OmegaGeo to look for a new point cloud processing tool, preferably from a vendor with outstanding support.
Brett had similar reasons for moving away from their current CAD program. OmegaGeo's goal was to completely modernize their reality capture workflow and take advantage of best-in-class point cloud software.
Brett emphasized that while it was important for OmegaGeo to have the best tools for their client work, working with the right vendors was equally crucial. A supportive and responsive technology partner would help them complete their projects on time and within budget.
TitleSolution: Veesus Point Clouds for Rhino Plug-in
Brett and the OmegaGeo team were impressed by the demo version of the Veesus Point Clouds for Rhino plug-in, both with the software and the company. "I thought the plug-in looked great," says Brett, "and I knew from the start that Veesus would be a great partner for us. From the first moment I met the team, I found them very personable and responsive to our needs and goals," Brett said.
With Veesus Point Clouds for Rhino, OmegaGeo can import, edit, and manipulate point clouds of any size natively in Rhino. The software offers extensive editing options such as slicing, clipping, zooming, as well as smoothing, lighting, and color options.
OmegaGeo appreciates the proximity of the Veesus team, who are just an email or phone call away for any questions or technical issues. Brett emphasized Veesus' high quality of service, particularly in resolving an issue with missing data packets in the plug-in by quickly deploying a patch that permanently fixed the problem.
TitleA better and more stable point cloud workflow
Veesus Point Clouds for Rhino significantly simplifies and speeds up Brett's team's work when working with point clouds. The new workflow is more efficient; it requires fewer steps, and much of the process can be performed directly in Rhino.
"In our old workflow, there were many settings that needed to be adjusted to get the point clouds working; with Veesus, it all happens easily," adds Brett.
The team has identified specific cases where Veesus has made a real difference, particularly when applying aerial photogrammetry and drone imagery. The Rhino plug-in's "Snap to Point" feature has significantly sped up editing. Brett also greatly appreciates the plug-in when working with scans of churches. "Old churches are full of irregularities that can make them difficult to edit. With Veesus, I can view a section from multiple angles—and pan it in real time—to get an accurate picture of what I'm drawing."
For Brett, however, it's not just the innovative technology that's crucial, but also Veesus's high-quality service. The company's willingness to take the time and listen to the customer's needs makes Veesus a great partner for OmegaGeo.
