How to export 3D Tiles from PIX4Dmatic

Exporting Meshes from PIX4Dmatic

Once the mesh processing is complete, you can export the mesh using either of the following options:

File Menu: Go to File > Export Mesh
Processing Panel: Select Exports > Mesh.

Available Export Formats

PIX4Dmatic provides several formats for exporting the mesh:

OBJ (default)
PLY
Cesium 3D Tiles
SPLK

For more detailed information on export options, please refer to Pix4D’s documentation.

Recommended Export Format: Cesium 3D Tiles

For uploading your mesh to Skand, we recommend exporting it as Cesium 3D Tiles. This format offers better streaming and rendering performance compared to the OBJ format (OBJ is the default option for PIX4Dmatic mesh export).

Exporting Cesium 3D Tiles

When you export the mesh as Cesium 3D Tiles, the output will include:

A .json file
Multiple .b3dm files

These files are saved in a folder named project_name-cesium_mesh.

Uploading to Skand

To upload the exported Cesium 3D Tiles to Skand:

Compress the entire project_name-cesium_mesh folder, including the .json file, into a single zip file. Important: Please ensure that the .json file is located at the root level of this folder.
Upload the zip file to the Skand platform.
