Enhanced Mesh Rendering for Scan-to-BIM Demos
In reality capture, scan-to-BIM, and as-built modeling, the quality of your visual presentations can make or break your project’s impact. NUBIGON v7’s enhanced mesh rendering capabilities give models a polished and refined look. Combining cutting-edge rendering technologies with user-friendly workflows, our latest features ensure your presentations captivate and impress your audience.
In this blog post, we break down how each successive rendering solution elevates a residential building model courteously provided by Clint McLaren-Tran.
Realism Redefined with Physically Based Rendering (PBR)
Physically Based Rendering (PBR) is at the heart of our mesh rendering enhancements, offering elevated realism for your 3D models. PBR accurately simulates how light interacts with different materials, whether it’s the glossy sheen of a polished metal surface, the subtle roughness of aged concrete, or the transparency of windows. This level of detail ensures your deliverables look stunning and communicate essential material properties, providing stakeholders with a true-to-life representation of your designs.
Depth and Detail with Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
Adding depth and dimension to your mesh models is effortless with Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO). This advanced shading technique introduces soft, realistic shadows in naturally occluded areas, such as corners, crevices, and edges. By enhancing the perception of depth and spatial relationships, SSAO transforms flat visuals into dynamic, lifelike renderings that bring your projects to life.
Transparent Mesh Rendering
NUBIGON v7 takes mesh visualization even further with support for transparency. If your model includes elements such as glass windows and acrylic surfaces, they are rendered with realistic transparency, preserving their visual accuracy. Beyond this, you can customize your presentation by selectively applying transparency to individual model components, allowing you to emphasize structural details or showcase internal elements without overwhelming your audience.
This added functionality provides unmatched flexibility in presenting complex designs, making it easier than ever to communicate intricate project details to stakeholders in a clear and visually compelling way.
Crisp, High-Resolution Output with Supersampling (SSAA)
Nothing detracts from a presentation more than jagged edges or pixelation. That’s why we’ve integrated Supersampling (SSAA) into our rendering workflow. By processing your visuals at higher resolutions, SSAA smooths out edges and eliminates artifacts, producing crisp, high-definition outputs that maintain quality even on large displays or in print.
Polished Presentations for Every Stakeholder

These advanced rendering features aren’t just about creating pretty pictures—they’re tools for effective communication. Whether you’re delivering scan-to-BIM projects to architects, engineers, or clients, our enhanced mesh rendering ensures that your visuals are clear, accurate, and impactful. From showcasing material details to highlighting structural geometry, these tools help you tell the story of your project with professionalism and flair.
Deliver Excellence with Every Render
With enhanced mesh rendering, we’re setting a new standard for scan-to-BIM visualizations. Advanced technologies like PBR and SSAO create impressive, informative, and precise visuals. Whether you’re presenting a building restoration, an industrial retrofit, or an infrastructure project, our tools ensure your deliverables leave a lasting impression.
