3DGS Rendering

After the mesh is generated, you can upload the textured mesh data to the cloud to compute and generate a 3DGS rendering with finer light and shadow and a more realistic look.

Note

• The project must contain texture data; alignment projects do not support the 3DGS function yet.
• The function requires the device to be connected to the network; it is recommended to upload data over Wi-Fi.
• You need to sign in to your SHINING 3D passport and ensure that the cloud storage space is sufficient.

Generate 3DGS

1. Enter the mesh page and tap the 3DGS button on the right to open the 3DGS panel.

   When using it for the first time, the software first displays a function introduction panel comparing the rendering effects of standard texture and 3DGS. Tap Try Now to start creating; this panel will not be displayed again afterwards.

   Note

   If you have not signed in to your SHINING 3D passport yet, you will first be redirected to the login page and returned to the mesh page automatically after signing in.

2. Select the upload space; the default is My Space. Tap the selection box to switch spaces (such as a team space) in the pop-up window.

   Note

   • The space list shows the capacity usage of each space; spaces with insufficient capacity cannot be selected.
   • The software remembers the selected space and uses it by default for the next upload.

3. Tap Start Calculation; the software first checks the network connection and space capacity:

   • If the network is not connected, the upload is unavailable; please connect to the network and try again.
   • If the remaining space is insufficient, the upload is unavailable; please make sure the selected space has sufficient remaining capacity.
   • When uploading over a cellular data network, a reminder pops up, and you can choose to continue the upload or cancel.

4. After the check is passed, a Notes pop-up appears:

   Caution

   • Keep the screen on during the upload; do not lock the screen or switch apps.
   • After the upload is completed, the cloud processes the data automatically, during which you can freely use other apps.

   Tap Confirm to start uploading the data. After ticking Do not show again and confirming, this pop-up will not be displayed for the next upload.

   When calculating 3DGS for the first upload and message notifications are not enabled, the software prompts you to enable message notifications:

   • If enabled, you will be redirected to the system settings to grant the notification permission, so that you can get the task progress in time.
   • If not enabled for now, you can go to the system settings to enable it later.

5. During the upload, the page shows the upload progress and the estimated remaining time:

   • Tap the close button at the top right to cancel the upload; cancellation requires a second confirmation.
   • If the upload is interrupted or fails due to network issues, please check the network and try again.

Caution

Resuming scanning or regenerating the mesh will overwrite the 3DGS rendering data already generated in the project; calculation tasks already submitted are not affected and can still be viewed normally after completion.

View the Calculation Progress

After the upload succeeds, the cloud computing button is displayed at the top right of the mesh page; tap it to view the task status of the current project.

The task continues after you leave the project; you can tap the cloud computing entry on the software homepage to view the progress.

Note

During calculation, the 3DGS button on the mesh page is grayed out and becomes available again after the task is completed.

View the 3DGS Effect

After the calculation is completed, the digital cloud panel expands automatically. Scan the QR code in the panel, or tap Copy Link / Open Link to view and download the 3DGS rendered model in a browser.

When entering the mesh page again, you can tap the View 3DGS button at the bottom of the page to view the rendering effect in a browser.
