The X-Ray view simulates transparency by rendering the entire dataset depth. Depending on the data size, you may need to adjust quality settings for different use cases.
X-Ray for Viewport Rendering
To increase viewport rendering quality:
- Increase GPU cache and decrease Minimum coverage under
Preferences > Viewport Rendering. Note: These changes may slow down viewport rendering.
X-Ray for Orthophotos
For optimal results with orthophotos:
- X-Ray settings:
- If using a light background color, ensure the Invert option is enabled.
- Activate the Silhouette option to sharpen object contours.
- Increase the Size setting to fill empty pixels in high-resolution orthophotos.
- Increase the White setting to reduce over-exposure.
- Orthophoto Generation Settings:
- Increase the VRAM per tile setting to minimize visual tiling effects. Note: This may prolong processing time.
- Increase the VRAM per tile setting to minimize visual tiling effects. Note: This may prolong processing time.
X-Ray for Videos
When rendering videos from point clouds in X-Ray mode, visible boundaries may appear.
To reduce these effects:
- Adjust the Point count setting in the Render Video dialogue: Choose Custom to render up to 24GB points per frame, which reduces tiling and point-loading effects.
- Select No tiling to remove the tiling effect entirely. Note: This may cause a loss of quality due to sub-sampling, so use cautiously.
