DJI, a global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today introduced DJI Modify. This is DJI's first intelligent 3D model editing software. This complementary solution works seamlessly with DJI's business drones and 3D modeling and mapping software, DJI Terra. Together, they form a comprehensive aerial photography, modeling and model editing solution that meets the operational needs of industries such as surveying, transportation and emergency response, such as firefighting.
Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI, said, "Complex model processing has long been a challenge in the aerial photography industry. As DJI's first intelligent 3D model editing software, DJI Modify brings DJI's total data collection, processing and editing solution full circle. We believe this will take live 3D model editing to a new, more intelligent level, helping surveyors, transportation operators and first responders improve their workflow."
Seamless Workflow with DJI Terra
DJI Modify works seamlessly with DJI Terra, creating a fluid end-to-end solution from modeling to model editing. With a single click, DJI Modify can be launched in any DJI Terra 3D modeling project. Once DJI Modify is enabled, files for model editing are automatically generated in DJI Terra, including pre-identified objects and pre-processing of the model. It is similar to Photoshop for photo editing, making the repair of common defects in 3D models seamless and efficient. Currently, DJI Modify only supports repairing models built with DJI Terra.
Efficient 3D Model Processing
With an intuitive interface, DJI Modify's intelligent editing tools are easy to use and do not require complex settings. Model files can be quickly imported and exported as ply, obj, and b3dm, etc., making them compatible with DJI Terra and other third-party software. In the future, processed models can be shared in the cloud[1] for online viewing and sharing via links, with no software installation required.
DJI Modify's intelligent auto-repair editing supports leveling, editing textures, repairing water surfaces, removing floating parts and filling holes. Operations can be performed with the one-click repairs or manually by selecting custom polygons, areas or meshes. DJI Modify's technology for smoother model viewing allows high and low quality models to be viewed and edited in one interface. Changes can be instantly synced and previewed across both models, allowing users to address model editing issues quickly and effortlessly.
