Best Free Photogrammetry Apps for Building/House (No Lidar) Review

  • I review the best photogrammetry apps for generating a 3d model of a house or building using just a smartphone camera. I’m interested in apps that are free, that ideally run on both iOS and Android and don’t rely on LiDAR technology. Stick around to the end to see my top picks.
    UPDATE: I wasn't aware that the Kiri Engine 3 free export coupons refill every week, meaning it's also pretty much an entirely free app 👍

    What a great overview! You must have spent a lot of time making this video, considering only how often you had to take all those photos! You were lucky it wasn't raining :-) Thank you very, very much! - Since you also have some iOs only apps, I would add Lumalabs AI, which also allows to export meshes (but their quality is not as impressive as their Gaussian splatting results) and PhotoCatch. - I also prefer Kiri over any other, especially since it also allows to export PBRs and quad models. And I think it is the cheapest from the paid ones, if I am not mistaken.

      Excellent. And some of these let you straighten up the model inside the app so you could just take a screen grab and skip the 3d software part altogether. I’m aiming to put a ‘quick and dirty’ method tutorial together at some point that would slot in to my projection mapping workflow

    Thank you for this. I've watched so many of your videos over the past couple of days. I would like to point out that, from the time you made this video until now, Widar now requires an upgrade to Pro for the "Share with 3D viewer" export option on Android. The "Present" option is still free.

    @LumaBox I'm wondering whether the app has changed since you made this video. I've used WIDAR but after making my scan, it won't let me download it unless I join. How were you able to 'air drop' your scan without signing up?

    • @LumaBox
      @LumaBox  8 місяців тому +1

      Yes, I think the apps are all being developed and changing with each update. Potentially the features of WIDAR are different now. But do you have to pay to join or can you sign-up for free? I did have to sign up for some services but I never parted with any money.
