Universal Compatibility

This software applies to all SHINING 3D various 3D scanners and is capable of importing .STL/.OBJ format data files. From your smartphone to DSLR camera, it handles mixed photo parameters with ease.

Relative Orientation

Easy to Use

Engineers can master this software instantly and complete texturing and refinement within 30 minutes through its automatic and intelligent workflow.

Texture Baker

Streamlined Workflow

Supports one-click transfer of data from 3D scan software for full or partial texture refinement. Seamlessly combining smart modules such as seam editor, global uniform, and refined textures with Adobe Photoshop, which ensures a complete texturing workflow in one software.

Seam Editor

High Definition Resolution

Flawless edge texture fusion (texture accuracy < 0.1 mm) with consistent multi-photo color matching.  It can export a single model with the resolution of 4K/8K/16K or multiple 16K textures (full-resolution) to preserve every micron of surface detail.

Highlight Functions

AI mainbody detection-BlueStar

AI Mainbody Detection

Interactive semantic segmentation AI model to extract object's main body. Automatic learn and one-click pass to all photos.

Relative Orientation

Relative Orientation

Calculates relative positions between photos and generates a sparse point cloud, requiring input photos to comply with photogrammetric principles.
