TitlePoint cloud visualization in Veesus Arena4D
Veesus Arena4D Data Studio software is designed for the visualization, use and animation of large-volume point clouds and GIS data.
Thanks to the powerful point cloud engine, you can quickly load point clouds from different systems and manufacturers into Arena4D Data Studio to edit, analyze, register, generate video flights or use the point cloud information for reverse engineering. Even huge point cloud datasets are no challenge for the visualization software.
The Arena4D software is easy and intuitive to use, so even inexperienced users can quickly add context to their 3D data. For example, panoramic images, documents, photos or sound can be added to the lidar data. There is also the fourth dimension of “time”, which you can use to present your data analytically or narratively.

TitleVeesus VFX & Voxel update
Thanks to the new VFX function, you can make your point cloud animations even more impressive. All powerful effects are integrated directly into Arena4D, which means that no additional software is required.
TitleImpressive animations
With the VFX function, you can create impressive animations and bring special features into focus.
Spotlight – This effect allows you to select specific points in your animation that are in focus while the rest of the area appears blurred. This makes it possible to draw full attention to the highlighted point.
Vignette – You can use the vignette to highlight the center of the image. The edges of the image are slightly darkened, which automatically directs the focus to the center of the image.
Motion blur – The motion blur gives your shots more dynamism. A slight blur in the direction of movement gives fast movements in the video a more dynamic look.
TitleExciting gaming experiences thanks to voxel update
Veesus' Voxel update is a groundbreaking advancement for anyone looking to take their gaming experience to the next level.
Simply capture your environment with a LiDAR-enabled iOS device. You can then upload the data to the ZAPPCHA software and export it as a voxel model.
