Core features
◈
GPU-accelerated rendering
Point cloud data is processed and displayed directly on the graphics device. No intermediate CPU bottleneck — density scales without impacting interactivity.
◎
Automatic level of detail
Display density adapts in real time based on camera distance and viewport state. Full resolution is maintained where it matters; overhead is eliminated where it doesn't.
⊹
Surface snap + Quad Draw integration
Points act as live snapping targets for Maya's Quad Draw tool. Retopologize directly over scan data — no intermediate mesh conversion required.
▤
PLY & LiDAR import
Native loader for PLY format, compatible with photogrammetry and structured LiDAR output. Large files load without blocking the UI.
