Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me out with this as I have been trying to search for a guide but had no luck. I am trying to put together a marketing presentation to show off the various 3D work we do as a company and I have been trying to get a screenshot of a half scan half model. I have attached a picture below showing the desired result but I cannot find the solution anywhere. I have access to to Navisworld, Recap, Revit, CAD & 3D Reshaper so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stuart

Re: Presenting 3D models
I think you're possibly looking for a solution that's way more complicated than is necessary to make the image you're looking for.
Assuming you have the data as RGB coloured, then take a screenshot of the data with colour turned on, then colour turned off and intensity active. Then using photoshop (or something similar) make a blended image which is half one, half the other, with a fade transition in-between.

Hi Stuart,
The tip I use in 3dreshaper is described in this video:
youtu.be/_Vk0zNMByPQ
The tip is to use clipping plane but assign a clip to only part of the data you want to show.
Then, use another clipping plan to clip so other 3D data.
Before, rendering, just hide the clip!

Re: Presenting 3D models
Excellent, thanks for the responses. I spent many an hour typing random word combinations into Google for a solution! I will give it a go and see what happens.
Cheers

Re: Presenting 3D models
Both Revit & Recap have 'export image' options that might get you slightly better resolution than a screenshot. Then, as mentioned above, you can use a Photoshop like program to blend them. GIMP is a fee-free option. Good luck!

Re: Presenting 3D models
I think easier might be to have 2 static images one fully rendered 3d, and then one as point cloud with same camera angle/zoom etc for both, then just make a transition between the 2 in any video editing software, just like a normal A/B transition, you could do wipe/fade etc.. any standards video transitions between the two, this has worked out for me nicely before with only having 2 images it makes it look a lot fancier than it really is..
