#PHOTOMODELER VS PHOTOSCAN SOFTWARE#
And that facts suits perfectly with the Promo license aimed at freelancers and artists that are unlikely to invest in an industrial-grade workstation - let alone network rendering.Įven modern gaming laptops with Nvidia GTX 1050 or 1060 GPUs could run this software to do photogrammetry locally - at a speed that’s even faster than Autodesk’s cloud service if you count uploading, queue-waiting, processing and downloading. It apparently works very different internally and is a lot better suited for medium-end systems like my gaming PC. Like ReMake, Realit圜apture also supports just Nvidia graphics cards while PhotoScan also supports non-Nvidia GPUs.īut where PhotoScans capabilities - specifically the amount of photos it can process at once - are directly limited by the amount of RAM in the system, Realit圜apture is a lot more resource-friendly.
#PHOTOMODELER VS PHOTOSCAN PC#
My system is an Alienware Aurora R5 gaming PC with an i5 dual core processor, 32GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1070 card. Perfect for tricky shoots of statues like the one below for which I used an extended monopod. I like it because it’s light and can be controlled remotely with a smartphone app over WiFi. It’s easier to get a completely even background with black and a bit of under exposure.įor non-turntable and outdoors shoots I used a Sony RX100M2 20.2 megapixel mirrorless camera. You can also go for white or any other color but I wanted to prevent having to color-correct the photos and use the JPGs straight from the camera for efficiency. I used two simple, umbrella-style 85W studio lights ( $75.99 for the set) and a simple black photography background ( $14.99).
Of course, a better camera with more megapixels and (especially) a sharp (50mm) prime lens will result in better 3D models. A brand new EOS 1300D (Rebel T6) is just $449 with kit lens. I used a 7 year old entry-level 18-megapixel Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i in the US) with kit lens, but you can use any camera (for the Foldio360, you do need one that can be triggered with an infrared remote). Realit圜apture can’t natively recognize coded markers but in general it’s nice to have a patterned floor surface - not necessary though. I designed the printable pattern for the Foldio360 for use with Agisoft PhotoScan Pro. If you just want to test how Realit圜apture works and if it runs well on your PC, there’s a Demo version (without export possibilities).įirst, let’s take a look at the hardware I’m using for this Review:īecause I just reviewed the surprisingly handy $139 Foldio360 app-controlled turntable (pictured above) for photogrammetry I’ll use some results from that shoot. Those limitations are no problem for my purposes and the scope of this review, which is mainly capturing small to medium sized objects.įinally, you can also get the Promo version as a 1-month Realit圜apture subscription through Steam for $39,99. It will also send anonymous statistics (purely some numbers, no scan data) of the models you export to the developer. The Promo version of Realit圜apture does have a few limitations, namely a maximum of 2500 photos and no technical support. Realit圜apture processes locally on your computer with no restrictions in the amount of projects. That’s comparable to Autodesk’s ReCap Photo (previously ReMake) on terms of monthly subscription but Autodesk’s solution is now strictly cloud-based and charges extra for that on a per-scan basis. There’s also a subscription-based “Promo” license. The scope of this review is strictly photogrammetry for objects and I won’t test the laser-scanning features.

For those features you need the full version of Realit圜apture, which costs $15,000.
#PHOTOMODELER VS PHOTOSCAN PROFESSIONAL#
With this new pricing strategy the software is now par with an perpetual license of PhotoScan Professional ($3499) or 3DF Zephyr Professional (€2400).īe aware that the new Realit圜apture PGM version is strictly for Photogrammetry and doesn’t include laser-scan features (like Zephyr Pro). Which means you have life time access (with one year of updates and support) to the software with no subscription fees or even an internet connection requirement. New for 2018: You can now get Realit圜apture PGM with a perpetual license for $2800 until April 30th. I did find out and I’ll tell you in a bit. Naturally I couldn’t wait to test this software to find out why many people are getting so excited. For instance, while game developer DICE used PhotoScan as their main photogrammetry tool for Star Wars: Battlefront (I wrote a feature post about this), they also experimented with Realit圜apture. Realit圜apture has only been publicly released in 2016 (for comparison, PhotoScan has been around since 2010) but has quickly gathered attention from professionals that are integrating 3D capture into their workflows.
