Prepping Mega-Models for the Metaverse: Engineering Edition
summary
Bentley Systems presents 3DFT codec that automatically converts federated iTwin platform CAD data into runtime LODs for Unreal Engine, streaming millions of triangles so massive models run interactively (examples include a 60 m ITER tokamak and datasets up to ~356M triangles). Encoding and cloud optimized LOD generation complete in minutes so changes propagate instantly; demo shows live streaming into the Unreal editor and to headsets (desktop/Oculus) and achieves VR-level framerates.
