Making a complete model in RealityCapture | Tutorial

This video will guide you through creating a complete 3D model in RealityCapture. You will learn the basics of photogrammetry, the do's and don'ts when taking pictures, and how to make a closed 3D model from all sides using the Mask tool within RealityCapture.

Looks like very powerful software, but you really really need to get someone in who understands UX. So many hidden interaction modes, so many tool bars and weirdly named options

Great video. This was just the right length and got to where I needed to be. You advised a photo every 10deg, but what is the rule of thumb for capturing buildings? A photo every meter?

Very nice tutorial, have a lot of thx.

Hola, saben si en algún momento podremos utilizar reality capture con gráficos amd? Gracias

[dronetoulouse]

Thanks a lot.
Is it possible to release a new tutorial of drone 3D capture based on last RC version ?

[timerkiert]

Also it would be good to have a similar video to show how this model can be exported into Revit?

Hi, can you put the object on a lazy Susan?

[CanisoGaming]

Does this work with any phone camera? Or does the phone have to have sensor or whatever?

A user interface is like a joke, if you have to explain it it's bad. Love the power of this program and I've done some cool stuff with it....but man this UI is painful

Hello... a very nice training video.
I am doing everything as you said here.but when I combine all the pictures and masks and do the calculation, unfortunately it models separately.
how can i fix this problem?

I have a question about how I can rotate an entire point cloud. Every photogrammetry model I create is skewed

[ignacio_the_coralbiologist]

I created a large model in reality capture. How do I determine the scale or resolution of my model?
My model has an actual texel size of (0.004204 units/texel). Point count 4, 123, 726 with a triangle count of 998 thousand.

I have a problem when i add jpg photos, the error "incomplete camera sensor info" appears. I ended up having to add png photos and it worked. But it's strange, you don't have any error even though you added jpg photos

[kraney]

this is really cool, where can i read the system requirements, alongside the Gear requirements to capture photos that the software could easily detect? wandering if my android phone could do it as well as a thousand dollar camera

Hola, yo tengo un gran problema con esta aplicacion. Estaba desarrollando un videojuego con Unreal. Pero a la hora de establecer en un capitulo el escaneo en video de una habitacion, me indica este error " No suitable transform to encode or decode the content was found " y no encuentro una manera de poder solucionarlo. No se que hacer, llevo varios dias intentandolo. Ademas, no consigo configurar la aplicacion en idioma español. GRACIAS por ofrecernos estas herramientas igualmente para poder cumplir nuestros sueños.

Hello... Can I use Reality Capture if I have an AMD videocard?

[toyhunter]

hi, in "mesh model" i can see "close holes" button, but can't find "open holes". Where i can find it? or may be in "reconstruction" settings somewhere hiding "close holes" dialog ? cant find it(
