Epic Games has released RealityScan 1.6, the latest version of its free photogrammetry app for iPhones, iPads and Android devices.
The update provides more control over the scanning process, with users able to generate 3D models with up to 1 million polygons and 8K textures.
Free app makes photogrammetry available to anyone with a smartphone
First released in 2022, RealityScan is intended to make the 3D scanning capabilities of tools like Epic Games’ RealityCapture accessible to hobbyists as well as pros.
The app turns photos of objects captured using the camera in a mobile phone or tablet into textured 3D models for use in AR, game development or general 3D work.
Models are generated online in standard 3D file formats, and can be used in DCC apps and game engines like 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, Unity and Unreal Engine.
RealityScan 1.6: more manual control over the scanning process
RealityScan 1.6 introduces new options designed to provide more user control over scans.
Launching a project in the new Camera Control mode gives full manual control over camera settings, making it possible to adjust focus, shutter speed, ISO values, white balance and flash.
The original Augmented Reality mode provides a more guided experience, with a real-time display of the point cloud being generated, overlaid with camera positions.
In addition, the new Processing Options panel makes it possible to choose processing options, including the resolution and filtering method for the 3D mesh and textures generated.
Users can choose to generate meshes with up to 100,000 polygons or up to 1 million polygons, and with 4K or 8K textures.
System requirements and availability
RealityScan is compatible with Android phones and tablets that support ARCore, running Android 7.0+, and with iPhones and iPads running iOS 16.0+ and iPadOS 16.0+.
The software is free, and can be used on personal projects, including commercial work.
By default, the EULA gives Epic Games the right to use your scan data to train products and services, but you can opt out in the in-app settings.
