What’s New in VxScan v.2
Improved Automatic Multiresolution
• Thanks to the curvature recognition algorithm, the new Decimate Triangles slider makes it possible to automatically reduce the mesh resolution on flat areas while keeping a higher resolution mesh on complex and detailed surfaces
• Produces lighter STL files
Enhanced Surface Reconstruction
• Improved surface boundaries recognition and reconstruction
• Improved manual multiresolution
• Optimized surface reconstruction (quicker Stop Scan and Load Session)
• Redesigned spike filter to improve details/noise differentiation
• Volume position can now be defined manually (position and angle)
• Redesigned Optimize Surface algorithm for more efficiency
Improved Compatibility
• Compatible with all major operating systems
• Windows XP 32 bits
• Windows Vista 32 bits
• Windows Vista 64 bits
• In 64 bits, no more memory limit and improved performance (compared to similar hardware running in 32 bits)
3D Viewer improvements
• New Lock Zoom function lets you zoom on particular details while scanning
• Redesigned live surface rendering
• Enhanced lighting and shading
• Quick dynamic rendering mode
Customize your VxScan experience
• 5 different 3D viewer control modes
• Save scan parameters and keep them as default
• Change VxScan's colors to your will
Moreover, VxScan v.2 features Improved Positioning and enhanced Edition Mode, as well as a new feature that enables the user to delete the facets permanently, and not only sending them into the Recycle bin. The software also offers new and powerful Scanner Manager and Installer functionalities.
