RealityCapture Capturing Reality

Create your own 3D model

With RealityCapture, photogrammetry software, you can create your 3D model fast and easily. Intuitive User Interface together with the in-built HELP will guide you throughout the model creation.

RealityCapture (RC) is a state-of-the-art all-in-one photogrammetry software solution which automatically extracts beautiful and accurate 3D models from a set of ordinary images and/or laser scans.

Take advantage of low hardware requirements for processing of billions of triangles without any performance loss.

Create your first 3D model with RealityCapture

Create detailed, textured 3D models ready for export to content-creation and artistic tools. Decimate, export, retopologize, import, and texture easily and fast.

Share your creation

Once you are finished and want to share your results with the world, RealityCapture enables you to share your creation either to Destinations or you can upload it directly to Sketchfab.

RealityCapture software allows you to directly upload your model reconstructed from images to Sketchfab. Sketchfab is a website used to display and share 3D content online. The company behind it has been launched in France and is based in Paris and New York City today. It provides a 3D model viewer based on the WebGL technology that allows to display 3D models on any mobile, desktop webpage or VR headset.

Map Wizard

RealityCapture Map Wizard is basically one-click virtual assistant in a creation of geo-referenced maps and/or models.

It is an easy and intuitive tool enabling you to have end-to-end results in one place.
It works in few simple steps:

• Drag & Drop images or laser scans
• Import flight log, GCPs or CPs
• Define your goal
• Press GO and obtain geo-referenced map

Geo-referencing

RealityCapture enables you to use all different types of geo-referencing like:

• Flight logs
• GPS coordinates in EXIF
• Ground control points

Coordinate system mixing: Furthermore, each ground control point or camera can be in a different coordinate system.

Maps/DSM

It has never been so easy to create a map. Just define an area, select a coordinate system and press a button. Your map will be stored in the project and you will be able to export it anytime. You can export your map in the form of a “True Orthographic Photograph” or a “Digital Surface Model” into:

• Image file formats like JPG, PNG, TIF etc., including the world file.
• Google earth: KML/KMZ
• GIS software file format: GeoTiff

Arbitrary orthographic projections

You are not limited just to maps with your projects. You can create arbitrary orthographic projections and cross-sections.You can define the projection plane, size and rotation of the projection area and get the resolution you need. All ortho-projections are saved and can be exported as image, altitude or depth layer. This feature is very useful for project documentations.

Create 3D model from photos

Meet your deadlines and create 3D assets 6x more efficiently then with other traditional methods. Now you can run 4 instances of RealityCapture at the same time. It’s simple. Use your phone or DSLR and capture an object from every angle.

Use photos to recreate small 3D objects, digital doubles or big 3D environments ready to export for content-creation and artistic tools.

Build whole environments

Bring physical objects into 3D and be creative. Build you own environment from real world objects and create truly immersive experience. Replace manual modelling and speed up your creative workflow with RealityCapture photogrammetry software.

Obtain authentic digital doubles

With RealityCapture you obtain clean detailed meshes with picture-perfect textures. Automatize your workflow with command line to get the result even faster.

Post-Processing tools

RealityCapture offers variety of tools which helps you to finute your model. Filter unwanted parts, smooth and simplify your mesh to achieve the best possible result. Export results in all standard formats compatible with third party software (Unreal Engine, Unity, etc.).

XMP: Fixed-camera setup

If you are sure that your camera setup is fixed, then you can use pre-calibration with XMP files. By fixed it’s meant that your supporting structure is so strong that each camera position and orientation will remain stable (+-0.01mm and +-0.01 degrees) across different scans. Furthermore, your internal camera parameters will remain fixed, as well (no autofocus, no image stabilization, etc.). If you are not absolutely sure about the precision, you can still use XMP files set to draft mode and RealityCapture will fine tune camera poses and calibration.

Flight log: Bending-camera setup

If your camera position and orientation remain almost stable, then you can use the so-called “flight-log workflow”. You can align each scan separately, import a flight log file with camera positions and update the created component. It will just compute a rigid transformation (translation, rotation, scale) so that the original alignment fits best the pre-defined positions imported from the flight-log file. With this workflow, you do not need to place markers into your scene.

Markers: Bending-camera setup

You can also use the well-known way of coordinate system preservation, which is placing radial or any other type of markers into the scene. RealityCapture offers the possibility to generate the coded markers and detect them automatically with a Detect Markers Tool. Using this tool significantly reduces time of points’ identification and helps you get correct alignment in couple of minutes.

Automation

You can achieve any type of automation with RealityCapture. It does not matter whether you are processing your data on a cloud or locally. There is always a solution for you.

Basic workflow

The following video drives you through the creation process of a digital double using RealityCapture.

Combinations

RealityCapture enables you to combine terrestrial laser scans with photographs in all possible ways.

• Fully automatic coloring/texturing, and meshing of images and laser scans
• Just laser-scan meshing
• Just laser-scan alignment and meshing
• Laser-scan and image meshing
• Application of colour just from images to meshing of just laser scans
• Application of colour just from images to meshing of just images and laser scans

RealityCapture can handle big data easily.

Photogrammetry in 3D printing

Photogrammetry is time saving, cost reducing method which helps to better communicate projects and lowers risks of future errors.

Replace manual modelling and speed up your creative workflow. It’s simple. Use your phone or DSLR, or drone and capture an object from every angle.

Prototyping

Easily edit and re-design the reality-captured models. Design missing component that will fit perfectly to object it was made for. Set of integrated post processing tool will help you to fine tune your model. Filter unwanted parts, smooth and simplify your mesh to achieve the best possible result.

Create authentic digital replicas

With RealityCapture you obtain clean detailed meshes with picture-perfect textures. Use photos to recreate from small 3D objects, large cathedrals, to whole cities. Imagine having your favourite objects in miniature size.

Keep your memories alive

Do you have some precious memories from your childhood, family heritage or vacation memory that you would like to preserve as a 3D model? Simply take pictures of the object, turn them into 3D model with RealityCapture and directly 3D print.
