Do you remember the Epic Games project that allows you to create 3D models with photos taken from the iPhone? Well, now the preliminary stage is over and the application RealityScan is available to all usersso you might want to take a look at it.
For the uninitiated, as also mentioned by 9to5Macit refers to an application that seeks to make the world of photogrammetry more accessible. In simple terms, by taking many photos from various angles of a really existing object, such as a chair, it is possible to obtain a 3D model to be used in any context (for example, to be placed inside a video game). Some good precautions to keep in mind are to take the shots in good lighting conditions and have a “clean” background.
Clearly in the middle there is the Unreal Engine graphics engine, also by Epic Games, but the general goal is to do everything in a simpler and faster way, so much so that reference is made to an application for iPhone and iPadnow downloadable by everyone directly through theApple App Store. In any case, the cloud is also involved (therefore it takes some time for the model to be “realized”), while in the end it is possible to export everything to the well-known Sketchfab portal.
In short, if you want to at least take a look at the Epic Games project, now you can do it (if you have the an iPhone or an iPad with iOS 16while apparently an Android version of RealityScan is in development).
