To tweak this behaviour you can change the 'Static Display Ratio' and the 'Dynamic Display Ratio' in the Display Panel, so it shows only so much it can show to display the model fluently. Also, after releasing the mouse button, it takes a while until the static display comes back to the full resolution. Then you might also realize, that when you move the dataset in 3D workspace, it gets displayed as points only and in a much lower resolution, than if you don't move it around.Consider to turn off the option 'Use Video RAM for Rendering Acceleration' under 'Menu > File > Preferences > Hardware > OpenGL Renderer Setup', because the Video RAM fills up quite fast and it might cause an overflow.These parameters are especially beneficial, if you are using huge data sets and you have a lot of main memory (RAM): Here are a couple of useful parameters, that 3D Systems team had shared with us. In Design X, switch Hardware Multi-thread Rendering Support in Preferences to 'True':Īdditionally: working with huge datasets in Design X Select 3D Systems Geomagic Solutions using the 'Add' button and select Prefer maximum performance in 'Power management mode':Ĥ. Select 'Use the advanced 3D image settings' option:Ĭhoose Dassault Systemes CATIA - compatible under 'Global presets', then select High-performance NVIDIA processor under 'Preferred graphics processor' (this last option is only available if your PC has Intel and NVIDIA dual graphics): The NVIDIA Control Panel can be accessed through the Windows Control Panel, and the settings need to be adjusted as follows: Please click here and install the correct driver version before proceeding to any of the adjustments outlined below. Note: In order for Artec Studio to function correctly in combination with an NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, a very specific driver version is required. the real-time fusion scanning mode, the texture mapping algorithm and the 3D rendering of large datasets) are either unimpacted or impacted positively by the suggested adjustments. It was concluded that all Artec Studio algorithms which make use of the NVIDIA GPU (i.e. We have therefore extensively tested the impact of the NVIDIA adjustments on Artec Studio. These adjustments are outlined further below and will allow the Design X software to utilize the full potential of the Quadro graphics card.ĭue to Artec Studio's ability of directly transferring 3D meshes into Design X, many users have both programs installed on the same PC. For PCs equipped with an NVIDIA Quadro graphics card and running the Geomagic Design X software, we highly recommend adjusting certain parameters in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
