I’m not sure how the normal export is limited this could be an issue if you cannot export a color 3D model from the basic version

Export with controls and texture baking.Set coordinate points/system, again an infrequently used capability.Ability to set units and scale of the 3D model, which is useful but certainly not essential as this can almost instantly be done in many other tools, including Autodesk’s own MeshMixer.

Local computation vs cloud computation capability, which would be possibly required if you have a security concern about using clouds.

Input up to 250 images per model (free version limited to 125, which in my opinion is usually more than sufficient for almost anything).

The two versions are nearly identical, but the Pro version offers a few features that might be expected by, well, Pro’s: The Pro version costs USD$20 per month or USD$190 per year if paid annually. Just capture the images and then use an image to 3D model service like ReMake.Īutodesk is offering two versions of ReMake, “Free” and “Pro”. There are a few circumstances where you cannot use this technique, but by and large it’s entirely practical to do, anywhere, anytime.

Colors and textures are typically very accurate.

The 3D model resolution and quality is usually higher than found with active scanning systems, simply because there are more pixels in images than there are in, say, a Microsoft Kinect-based system.

It’s far cheaper than many other alternatives.You always have a camera and don’t have to lug around expensive 3D scanning equipment.I prefer the imaging technique for 3D scanning over other methods for a couple of reasons:

It can even work with ReCap files to provide easier editing and cleanup. ReMake fits in as an easy-to-use option, perhaps a bit less technical than say, ReCap360.
