Architecture
RealityCapture. Photo-realistic environments created at staggering speed.

Photorealism in 3D visualization
Photogrammetry in architecture
RealityCapture easily transforms sets of ordinary photos into photorealistic and accurate 3D models. Ground photos, laser scans or drone imagery, this all help to transform an idea to final visualization faster than ever before.


Varied and diverse use cases
Post-Processing and Compatibility




Benefits of RealityCapture PPI in small architecture studio
- Possibility to use the software ad-hoc
- Download software for free, it never expires – use it only when required
- Pay only when satisfied with result – license your inputs
- PPI credits never expire
- User knows exactly how much the project will cost – possibility to add the exact amount to client’s invoice

Surveying
RealityCapture. Create 3D maps and models from drone images. Fast. Accurate. Simple.


Take advantage of on-site processing
- Inspect your data directly in the field and add missing photos. Leave the job site with ready data. Process 3D models from 400 photos on a standard laptop in 10 minutes. RealityCapture’s low hardware requirements allow you to check your data anywhere. Direct support of PPK/RTK flight logs dramatically reduce the users work directly in the field and post-processing time in RealityCapture.
Map wizard
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.




Simplify mapping work
Possibility to combine multiple coordinate system in one project. Supporting automatic detection of aerial tags that you can buy industrially produced here.
AI classify tool
Powerful AI classify tool RealityCapture can distinguish bare ground from other objects and generate digital terrain models. In addition to the automatic AI classify users have the option to edit the classification by assigning the classes manually.

Game & VFX
Create realistic assets and environments. Get the most from the speed.
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. Find out more about the processing workflow.
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.).

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.

Cultural Heritage
RealityCapture. Preserving Cultural Heritage in 3D. Fast. Accurate. Non-destrutctive.


Heritage easily accessible to everybody
Our Cultural Heritage is being endangered by environmental changes, natural disasters, wars. Moreover, many of the historical places or objects are not accessible to the wide public due to its fragile nature. Photogrammetry as a non – destructive method of data capturing preserves these heritage sites and objects in time and helps with a future restoration.
Photogrammetry and Laser scanning in culural heritage
Combine the accuracy of LiDAR with the detail and color of photogrammetry to create high resolution, high accuracy models of cultural heritage sites. The creation of accurate models and high resolution ortho-tiffs is essential in active conservation at cultural heritage sites. Detailed documentation of specific monuments aids in the active conservation and comparative analysis. Such analysis can be used to better understand how various factors (seismic activity, climate changes, wars, etc.,) have affected the monument or whole site.




From small museum object to whole sites
RealityCapture supports combination of various inputs. Combine laser scan with photos, either from drone or ground to obtain detailed and accurate results. For small object you may use turntable with monochromatic background or use masking workflow to capture an object from all sides.
Creating digital replicas
With photogrammetry it often doesn’t matter when the photo or video was taken. This is especially helpful in case of tragic events such as act of terrorism, wars, fires. The objects and sites can be reconstructed from crowdsourced photos from tourist who at some point in the past visited the place. These can be combined from institutions archives to re-create the site in its’ former glory. The examples are Notre Dame in France, Shuri Castle in Japan, Temple of Bel in Syria and many others.




Virtual Heritage
Photogrammetry serves as a fast and accurate method of transferring the real world into a virtual one. RealityCapture export supports all standard formats and results are easily imported to third party post-processing software such as Unreal Engine. The created Virtual and Augmented Reality, enables Cultural Heritage across the world to be accessible to everyone in a 3D digital version and various virtual guides serve as a great example of how the use of modern technologies offers us another opportunity for the presentation of cultural heritage sites and objects.
