New features in 3Dflow’s image-based modeling software include:
- Improved technology – many speed optimizations, multiview stereo algorithm is now usually 50% faster compared to v3.201 (especially increasing the number of pictures, as it is optimized for big datasets). The structure from motion algorithm has also been improved, with a faster (and even more accurate) rematching phase as well as the photoconsistency-based optimization. The new version also offers improved accuracy.
- New tools – many new tools to further improve workflow. You can now apply mesh filters on mesh selection (for example, you can optimize the topology of a certain part of a mesh) or customize the default names of your elements (pretty handy when placing control points in Zephyr Pro and Aerial, for example).
3DF Zephyr is available in Aerial ($4200), Pro ($3200), Lite ($149) and Free versions. More information on 3Dflow’s website.
