Epic Games, developer of leading real-time 3D creation platform Unreal Engine, and Capturing Reality, a software development house based in Slovakia, have recently announced that the RealityScan app is now available to download for free on iOS.
First announced earlier this year, RealityScan is a 3D scanning app for mobile devices that turns photos into high-fidelity 3D models. Users simply photograph an object using their smartphone, and the RealityScan app uses cloud processing to transform it into a 3D model, which can then be exported to Sketchfab and shared with the world.
RealityScan is created by Capturing Reality, a developer of photogrammetry solutions whose mission is to make 3D scanning accessible to all creators. With RealityScan, now anyone can create 3D models from real-world objects and use them to enhance the realism of their visualization projects, according to Epic. While using RealityScan requires no special skills or experience, Capturing Reality has released a video tutorial to help users achieve optimal results (shown below).
Epic stated that in just a few minutes, completed 3D assets can be seamlessly uploaded from RealityScan to Sketchfab, a platform for publishing, sharing, and selling 3D, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) content. From there, users can download the model for use in Unreal Engine, Twinmotion, MetaHuman, or any other post-processing tool. Plus, RealityScan users will automatically be upgraded to a Sketchfab Pro account for a year after their first upload to Sketchfab.
