Product Overview

LCC — Lixel CyberColor — is a real-world model rendering approach derived from 3DGS technology. It fuses LiDAR and visual data captured by XGRIDS devices to perform model reconstruction and rendering, generating highly detailed 3D models of real-world scenes. Because 3DGS-based technology offers superior generation efficiency and quality compared to mesh modeling and image-based modeling, it is currently very popular in the 3D industry and related upstream/downstream sectors both domestically and internationally.

Key advantages of LCC over similar technologies on the market:

• SLAM-based 3DGS enables mobile capture for larger real-world spaces with higher capture efficiency.
• LiDAR data acquired during capture also participates in computation, resulting in more structurally accurate models with better visual quality. This data enables measurement and other spatial computation-based overlay applications.
• Fast generation speed (5 minutes of data → currently 100–150 minutes of processing, ratio 1:20–1:30).
• Small data size (1/5 of comparable data types).
• High extensibility (supports measurement, annotation, editing, and further secondary development).

Lixel CyberColor Studio (hereinafter referred to as LCC Studio) is a 3D real-world modeling and rendering tool that runs on local PCs. It imports LiDAR and visual data captured by XGRIDS devices, automatically processes it to generate high-quality 3DGS model outputs, and supports management, editing, and publishing in .ply universal format or .lcc proprietary format. LCC Studio also provides rich visualization and analysis tools for local browsing or publishing as online links for sharing.

Core Features

• One-Click Generate: Import raw data captured by XGRIDS devices to automatically generate 3D model outputs in .lcc, .lcc2, .ply, .usd, or 3D Tiles format.
• Local Viewing & Flythrough: Local viewing and first-person Flythrough of LCC, LCC2, PLY, and USD models.
• Online Publishing: Publish model outputs as web viewing links with one click for remote sharing and presentation.
• Format Export: Export in .lcc, .ply, .lcc2, .usd, and 3D Tiles formats, compatible with various downstream processing workflows.

Practical Toolset

• Measurement & Annotation: Measure models and add annotations. Annotations support multimedia assets from inside or outside the scene.
• Model Post-Processing: Post-processing tools such as cropping and color adjustment.
• Asset Overlay: Import external 3D assets in .fbx, .glb, .obj, and other formats for model enhancement.
• Collision Experience: Generate models with physical collision for immersive Flythrough and interaction.
• Snapshot & Recording: Capture snapshots and render Flythrough videos to support presentations and reports.
• Viewpoints & Reports: Add viewpoints to guide users through specific areas, and generate scene reports for presentation and content summarization.

Featured Capabilities

• Map Fusion: Stitch multi-segment ground data through automatic overlap area recognition, enabling unified reconstruction of large-scale models.
• Aerial-Ground Map Fusion: Fuse drone imagery with ground scan data for seamless integration of aerial and ground perspectives, suitable for large-scale complex model reconstruction of building clusters, campuses, scenic areas, etc.
• HD Enhancement: Import high-definition images captured by DSLR cameras or smartphones to enhance detail restoration and texture quality in key areas.
• Spatial Recognition: For indoor scan data, automatically extract spatial structures and building components to quickly generate structured intelligent floor plans, suitable for spatial analysis and BIM modeling.
• Aerial Reconstruction: 3DGS reconstruction of ultra-large models using purely drone aerial photos, without ground device capture data.

Data Capture

Before using LCC Studio for 3D spatial reconstruction, you must first use an XGRIDS device to perform a comprehensive spatial scan.

Note: Since LCC Studio features Map Fusion and Aerial-Ground Map Fusion capabilities, data capture has specific requirements. Strictly follow the capture guide during scanning to ensure data compliance. RTK data capture has additional details to note for scan data quality and applicability. Refer to the relevant capture guide and quick start guide for more detailed guidance.

Reconstruction

On the My Models page, click "Create", select the target generation type, upload capture data according to page requirements and parameters, then click Start to begin model reconstruction.

Note: Before starting reconstruction, set the project storage path and capture data backup path first. Keep the LCC data storage location separate from the software installation directory. Set the storage path on a solid-state drive (SSD) to significantly improve data generation and processing efficiency.

• Set LCC project path: Settings - General - Project Path - Select Directory
• Set capture data backup path: Settings - General - Capture Data Backup Path - Select Directory
