SHARE3DCAM has released SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.7, which adds mesh generation from point clouds.
SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.7 converts point clouds into 3D mesh models in 3D Tiles, OSGB, GLB, and PLY formats. The V2.7 notes name no export format for gaussian splatting output, which SHARE3DCAM lists among the deliverables of its C10 backpack scanners.
SHARE PointClouds Studio moved its 3DGS entry point into the data processing step in V2.5.0, so point cloud mapping and 3DGS mapping could run together, and the V2.6.1 maintenance release fixed lag when scaling and panning 3DGS models. V2.7 lists improved visual quality for generated 3DGS models, with no published metrics, and separately lists reduced noise around object edges without saying which output it applies to. Cropping now works on 3DGS models and can be undone, and 3DGS scenes gain a startup animation and a skybox.
A new point cloud mapping range setting filters out distant noise points. Other additions include semantic point cloud generation with predefined labels, stockpile volume measurement, unit conversion across millimeters, centimeters, meters, feet, and inches, storage estimation that checks for enough disk space before processing, and exportable multipoint measurements. CAD floor plan generation handles larger layouts, though SHARE3DCAM says it currently supports only standard, single-story unfinished homes. Moving or rotating a model no longer requires saving a separate file, and sudden mouse zoom jumps are fixed.
SHARE PointClouds Studio's environment requirements recommend Windows 11 64 bit, an NVIDIA RTX 3060 or above, and 64 GB of RAM, and ask for at least 8 GB of dedicated graphics memory for point cloud mapping and 12 GB for 3D gaussian mapping. SHARE3DCAM notes that some Windows 10 environments may have issues.
For renovation work, which SHARE3DCAM names as a C10 use case, SHARE PointClouds Studio can now produce a GLB or 3D Tiles mesh and a semantically labeled point cloud alongside the 3DGS scenes it already generated. SHARE PointClouds Studio V2.7 is available now.
