Autodesk’s Project Photofly Project Seems to be picking up some speed with version 2.0 of PhotoFly being recently released. Photofly automatically converts photographs shot around an object or a scene into 3D objects using the power of cloud computing. The photographs can be shot with any standard digital camera, as long as you follow some shooting guidelines. The Photo Scene Editor for Project Photofly is a small application that you download and install on your Windows computer. Check out my older post on Project Photofly.
PhotoFly:
- Allows anyone with a digital camera to create near accurate 3D models from photographs using the web.
- Utilizes common point and shoot digital cameras.
- Harnesses the power of cloud computing to translate photos into detailed 3D models.
- 3D models can be manipulated by design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Inventor, 123D).
- Allows sharing through YouTube, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
