autodesk labs convert photos to 3d models

By July 24, 2010No Comments

This looks interesting – Autodesk’s Project Photofly Project is a technology preview of automatically converting photographs shot around an object or a scene into “Photo Scenes” 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.

This application allows you to submit your photographs to the Project Photofly servers and view the Photo Scenes returned by the Project Photofly servers. You can save a Photo Scene in its native format, RZI (Autodesk ImageModeler 2009 format), or export the scene to the DWG file format.

The Photo Scene Editor for Project Photofly is a free technology preview on Autodesk Labs. We are looking for feedback on how well it creates 3d models from sets of photographs. All feedback is welcome – the good, the bad, the ugly.
