RealityCapture

RealityCapture is a photogrammetry tool that lets you create photorealistic 3D assets and environments from photos and/or laser scans. The software is designed to automatically create textured 3D meshes, orthographic projections and other assets from photos and laser scans, and is useful for a variety of industries including cultural heritage, architecture, surveying and game development.

RealityCapture is well-suited for:

• Cultural Heritage and Architecture: Create detailed 3D models of historical sites, monuments and buildings.

• Surveying and Mapping: Use photogrammetry to create accurate 3D maps and surveys from aerial or ground-based images.
• Full-body Scanning and Printing: Use photogrammetry to create detailed 3D models of the human body for medical, artistic or commercial purposes.

Some of the key features of RealityCapture include:

• Automatic 3D Model Generation: Quickly create detailed 3D models from photos and laser scans.
• Textured 3D Meshes: Create high-quality textures and meshes for photorealistic visualizations.
• Orthographic Projections: Create accurate 2D projections from 3D data.
• Support for Multiple Input Formats: Supports a variety of image and laser scan formats.

RealityCapture pricing is based on annual revenue. Companies making more than $1 million USD in annual revenue can purchase a standalone RealityCapture subscription seat for $1,250 USD per year. For companies that also need Unreal Engine and Twinmotion, an Unreal Subscription is available for $1,850 USD per seat per year. If your company makes less than $1 million USD in annual revenue, RealityCapture is free to use. Students, educators and hobbyists can also use RealityCapture for free.

RealityCapture is updated regularly with new features, for example, improved error prevention and positional shifts in version 1.4.1. The tool has a community-driven support system, including tutorials and user-generated content. For those who need more direct help, Epic Direct Support is available for an additional fee with the purchase of more than ten Unreal Subscription seats.

RealityCapture can be accessed through the Epic Games launcher and the Epic Developer Portal, and an offline installer is available for subscribers. The software is for professionals and non-professionals, with a free version and flexible pricing to accommodate different needs and budgets.
