very good tutorial and very impressive software. there are several woods nearby full of tree stumps just waiting to be turned into 3D objects as soon as i have done the next 3DF tutorial on photography!

thank you for this wonderful software, I can't believe free version has basically all the features, 50 images is more than enough for me

Thanks for the very good tutorial. (As already noted below) Although a little hard for me to understand you at first, it made me listen better and I look forward to learning much more with your help. I recently bought a Creality Ender 3 for $200.00 (First machine) and'm having a blast printing gargoyles and soap dishes (Plus the hairy mane lion) but there are so many dimensions to 3d printing that it can be hard to grasp all the possibilities.
Thanks again,
Jim

Perfect results! Much more reliable than Agisoft and simple to use. Tutorials are very clear and easy to follow. Best photogrametary software out there! Great work guys!

FEATURE REQUEST:
Please introduce the ability to mask in 3D mode instead of 2D mode.
Ideally, we should be able to mask 3D volumes after the sparse point cloud is generated but before the dense point cloud is created. If we were given the ability to select the positions for good or bad data from the 3D model, we would only have to select 3D volumes ONCE rather than selecting 2D pixels potentially hundreds of times in the Masquerade masking tool for 100+ image collections.

Once the software knows each camera position in 3D space, project each 2D image on the included volume to AUTOMATICALLY mask the entire 2D image set.

In the example shown in this video, it would also be useful to exclude all pixels colored green. This would be especially useful if we were capturing photos with a Hollywood style "greenscreen" backdrop. If we could select color spectrum ranges for the masking tool, that could be very useful.

Lastly, thanks for making a great product. I'm a very happy customer!

Hi. I just downloaded the trial of this software. It looks to be what I need. I plan on purchasing it. However, do you plan on doing a follow-up video for this? It appears many of the options/menus have changed. I've had to pause/rewind several times to find where the options/menus are. It would improve the learning curve greatly. If you already have done so, could you provide link(s)? Thanks!

Thanks for making this I'm trying out 3DF

Hi I'm a student and i don't earn, I'm a big fan of 3df Zephyr free edition .
Because it's FREE and gives high quality 3d photogrammetry model

I would love to consider a paid package of 3df Zephyr if i start earning .

Great first tutorial. Is there a portable version of Zephyr?

Can video file be imported in this software for creating 3D model, such as, head, object, terrain. Thank you.

Greetings,
As in 3df zephyr to show only the mesh without textures.
Also know if possible, a better quality setting, for example, to scan with a bust of a park character.
I have good quality photos and the result is acceptable, I note that autodesk-recap with only 100 photos gives a better quality
and I have the pro version of zephyr.
I love Zephyr 3DF more than other software and I want to get the best out of it.
Thank you very much for the time.

I assume that "Dense Point Cloud" is now called "3D Model Generation" in the current version right?

[pandarzzz]

Thank you for the informative video! :)

Help! Can’t get the dataset using the link above

Curious - I shot video of an object (as a .mov), and when I go to import, either it wont see the video, or, if I drag / drop, 'next' is greyed out. I have tried H.264 and TIFF as compression... Is there a 'best' setting to conform video to that 3Df Z likes the most?

What is the best lens to use on a DSLR for the least distortion? 50-85?

[rossinidesigner]

when i finish i will be able to export to 3d max?
this is compatible to 3d max ?

[Yyffff]

Good software but i have a problem with my photos.Why my images are scanning with the background?Should i mask the background with some black material maybe?

[AnthonyFassolas]

What is the way to shot something like a donut or a loaf of bread when you want not to lose the bottom side of the object ? What is the workflow there.

[Лучшийучительродногоязыкаиродн]

textured mesh export is not available in trial version?
