Quixel Megascans and their integration into UE introduced photorealistic 3D scanned assets into the mainstream of real-time graphic applications, increasing the demand for custom made HiRes 3D scans at the same time and challenging the photogrammetry the software to produce comparable results.
Running on s NVIDIA graphics cards, Metashape utilizes CUDA-based GPU algorithms for the main steps of the pipeline. The sustainable standalone solution offered by Agisoft is best suitable for higher detail demands and potent workstations.
Free for students ReCap Photo Pro is a great way to start the journey, outsourcing the workload to Autodesk Cloud at cost of reduced clarity and details. Demanding higher shadow and feature consistency of input images the algorithm of ReCap is capable of producing unpredictable results, that look like Google AI-based “dog amplification” pictures.
The unique selling point of 3DF Zephyr is its out-of-the box ability to process videos and laser scanned data. This advancements are most favorable for fast, large scale scans of places and things with limited accessibility.
