The 3D Digital Backbone - Lumiscaphe

The 3D Digital Backbone

Break down software silos. Optimize your workflows. Take back control.

The 3D Digital Backbone connects your specialized 3D software to create tailored processes.

The 3D Digital Backbone in video

The 3D Digital Backbone offers a new way to connect your 3D software and easily orchestrate your data throughout its processing.

In the video below, we showcase examples of Python use cases to connect:

  • Blender to Blender
  • VRed to VRed
  • Blender to VRed

Better collaboration without changing your tools

Are your teams trapped in software silos?

Your employees spend their time juggling software with proprietary data formats. And yet this data is not structured according to your business needs.

Rather than adapting your business to the constraints of these tools, we offer you the opportunity to regain control of your digital environment.

The intelligence of an infrastructure that unifies your 3D data

The 3D Digital Backbone is an infrastructure that connects your specialized 3D software, such as Blender, VRED, VRay, Unity, Patchwork 3D and many others, to build customized, synchronized and interoperable processes.

It connects data and tools to streamline workflows between visualization, design and marketing in industrial environments.

It lets you leverage your digital assets without changing your existing tools.

Immediate benefits

Native interoperability

without data duplication

Sovereignty

over your digital assets

Acceleration

of production cycles

Use cases with Blender and VRED

Collaboration on a project between two Blender and VRED users thanks to the 3D Digital Backbone.

A simple exemple of how a Blender scene can be integrated into a project via Lumiscaphe’s 3D Digital Backbone.

This is a simple use case, developed in Python, which demonstrates the benefits of an interoperable and fluid process, without changing the tools in place.

The user creates a project by generating a Digital Backbone database and synchronizes the Blender scene to the Digital Backbone database.

Steps seen in the video:

  1. Blender and the Project Editor
  2. Creating a project via the Project Editor, generating a Digital Backbone database
  3. Using the Lumiscaphe plugin for Blender to load this database
  4. Selecting this database in Blender via the Lumiscaphe plugin
  5. Resetting the Blender workspace
  6. Saving the Blender scene in the Digital Backbone database
  7. Loading the Blender scene from this same database
  8. The Blender scene now lives in the Digital Backbone, accessible and synchronized via its database

A simple example of collaboration between two Blender users via Lumiscaphe’s 3D Digital Backbone.

Each user works on a different aspect of the scene (environment, materials), then saves their changes to the shared database. The Digital Backbone allows contributions to be automatically merged, illustrating a seamless collaborative workflow without changing existing tools.

Steps seen in the video:

  1. Opening the Blender scene from the Digital Backbone
  2. One user works on the scene layout
  3. The other user works on the shader and materials
  4. Each user saves their scene in the Digital Backbone project
  5. Then updates their scene by merging the two

A simple example of collaboration between Blender and VRED via Lumiscaphe’s 3D Digital Backbone.

Both users can work on the same scene simultaneously, one on modeling in Blender, the other on materials in VRED, using a shared database. Changes are centralized, merged, and then automatically reloaded into VRED, demonstrating seamless interoperability between tools.

Steps seen in the video:

  1. Selecting the Digital Backbone database in which to save the scene
  2. Casting the Blender scene in VRED format into the Digital Backbone using a Python tool.
  3. Opening the scene in VRED from the Digital Backbone
  4. One user works on the scene layout in Blender
  5. … and saves it to the Digital Backbone database
  6. The other user works on materials in VRED
  7. … and saves the VRED changes to the Digital Backbone database
  8. Casting the Blender scene in VRED format into the Digital Backbone using a Python tool, then merging the two scenes into the Digital Backbone database.
  9. Getting the merging result in VRED

A simple example of collaboration between two VRED users via Lumiscaphe’s 3D Digital Backbone.

Each user works on a different aspect of the scene based on a shared database. Changes are centralized, merged, and then re-uploaded to both VREDs, demonstrating seamless collaboration between users.

Steps seen in the video:

  1. The user on the left changes the color of the “Red_Plastic” material on the toy truck’s rims from red to green.
  2. The user on the right assigns the red material “Red_plastic” to the toy truck’s bed, which already has red rims.
  3. Both users (left and right) save the database changes to the Digital Backbone using the Lumiscaphe plugin for VRED.
  4. Both users (left and right) load the database into the Digital Backbone.
  5. Merging the differential between the left and right VREDs: the truck appears on both sides with the green “Red_Plastic” material assigned to both the rims and the bed.

For whom?

Project managers, innovation, design, or marketing leads looking to industrialize 3D processes while staying agile.
Industrial companies dealing with siloed tools.
Companies looking to unlock value from their existing 3D data.
