RapidCompact

3D Data in the Cloud

Upgrade your CMS with 3D processing capabilities. Through the intuitive Web UI or with the powerful REST API, Rapid Compact gets your 3D content ready for real-time use-cases in seconds.

• Automatic import filters (scaling, units, orientation, 3D clean-up operations, asset classification)

• Optimization via pre-sets covering all requirements for deployment to various real-time platforms and devices

• 3D CMS with spatial asset analysis, search, tagging, and thumbnail renderings

• 3D browser-based viewer with embed feature including embed editor with advanced settings (scene lighting, camera, measuring, branding)

• Batch processing via API calls (optimization, thumbnail rendering, search, tagging, 3D viewer embeds)

Import Filters

Scaling, orientation, 3D clean-up operations, asset classification, and more. RapidCompact pre-processes imported 3D data for faster processing and accessibility.

• 3D data clean-up operations automatically on import/upload

• Asset classification and spatial data generation

• Automatic unit conversion into meters on input (scaling is still adjustable in the CMS)

• Optional orientation correction on import (z-up vs y-up)

3D Content Management System

RapidCompact’s content management system is the backbone of the platform’s user interface.

• Tagging, labelling, and search functionality

• Thumbnail rendering for source and optimized assets

• Spatial asset analytics for source and optimized assets

• Processing Updates

• All its functionalities can also be easily accessed via the REST API

Rest API

Teach your 2d platform 3D with RapidCompact! The REST API can be easily integrated into your own platform and take care of all 3D data processes. All platform features are represented as API endpoints and can be fully automated and accessed programmatically.

• Supports 3D Optimization, PBR rendering, CMS features

• Various endpoints regarding Authenticating and Licensing, Source Asset, Optimized Asset, Embeds, Pre-sets, Tags, User

• Supports Event Notifications via Webhooks (avoids polling the API for status updates)

3D Viewer

The 3D Viewer, accessible through the RapidCompact web interface, can be utilized to create customized 3D viewers for website embeds. The 3D viewer editor can be fully customized: 2D Design with custom logos and measurement tool, 3D Scene Settings (Lighting, Shadows), Virtual Camera, Interaction, and Animation Control.

• Customizable iframe 3D embeds with the viewer editor
• Automatic link and <iframe> generation

• Library of Embed links and content is accessible via CMS and API

• Measure 3D viewing statistics

Thumbnail Rendering

RapidCompact can produce 2D renderings utilizing its internal PBR renderer. The generated thumbnails and 180° previews can also be accessed via the REST API.

• Quick and efficient rendering of 2D images (GPU independent)

• Used inside the platform for source asset thumbnails and 180° rotatable thumbnails for optimized asset previews

• Supports multiple rendering modes (pbr, flat, diffuse, emissive, metallic, roughness, clearcoat, specular, occlusion)

Batch Processing

The RapidCompact Platform and REST API are optimized for batch processing. With the click of a button multiple (or all) source models can be sent into the processing queue for optimization.

• Unlimited size for the optimization processing queue

• Process multiple selected source models with any pre-set

• Unparalleled batch processing speed

All-in-one 3D Optimization

RapidCompact is not only reducing the 3D mesh size (decimation), but also takes care of scene graph optimization (reducing draw calls), texture baking, unwrapping UVs, and much more. For example, it is capable of preserving and simplifying multiple materials by baking material information from inputs such as vertex/material colors and mesh normal/texture data onto a unified atlas with a single PBR material. In addition, RapidCompact offers various powerful compression algorithms to further decrease file size resulting in faster real-time rendering of 3D content.

• All these features are neatly packaged into RapidCompact platform pre-sets for one-click-delivery to the right format and size for a given XR platform, WebGL, or custom use-cases.

• Alternatively, all the Optimization Features can be set up as configuration settings to enable fully automatic batch processing on whole 3D asset libraries using the REST API or CLI.

Polygon decimation

RapidCompact’s unique approach to mesh decimation allows for the most efficient and quality preserving polygon reduction: Additional configurable settings will make the automated decimation workflow a perfect match for your 3D pipeline and use case.

• High-quality results, even with small polygon counts
• Preservation of boundaries and adjustment of topological errors
• Configuration options: Maximize Geometric Quality, Weighted Simplification, Adaptive vs Equalized Polygon Distribution

Material Baking

• RapidCompact supports PBR materials, as well as some more advanced shaders for USDZ and glTF outputs (PBR Next extensions and much more).

• The optimization process will adapt to the complexity of the input and produce the most performant output while preserve visual fidelity.

• Preserves various PBR material inputs such as Physical Mat and Stingray PBS

• USDZ preview surface support (incl. Clear coat and ior)

• Bakes normal maps from input

• Optional occlusion map baking

• Tiled textures preservation + baking in 2nd UV Atlas

• Preservation of texture transforms

Draw-Call Reduction

• With RapidCompact whole 3D scenes can be optimized to cost only one draw call on your end device. This is possible through scene flattening and single atlas optimization.

• Even complex 3D inputs with intricate materials or animation will result in the smallest number of draw calls as possible.

Optimization Tools

RapidCompact comes with advanced optimization tools, enabling further cleanup and simplification of avoidably complex input data.

• Removal of mesh lumps or small features especially when it comes to clean-up of 3D scanned data
• Interior geometry remover

Compression

With RapidCompact’s state-of-the-art compression features even the most complex 3D data gets easily digestible on any device without altering the visual fidelity at all.

• Most up-to-date compression techniques
• Draco & dracoLossy mesh compression
• Basis Texture Compression (ktx)

Delivery Presets

Choose from a variety of general or platform specific presets and let the software do the rest. is also possible to simply create a custom preset for a batch of datasets or even a whole product line!

• Presets that automatically meet strict requirements for various delivery platforms
• General presets that meet recommended settings for target devices

• Optional custom presets
