New features in 3Dflow’s image-based modeling software include:
- SfM Core improvements – substantial improvements in the Structure from Motion algorithm
- MVS Core improvements – substantial improvement in the accuracy of the Multi View Stereo algorithm when dealing with odd rotation settings and varying distance
- Improved Texture Generation performance – texture generation is now up to 20% faster than previous 3DF Zephyr releases.
- Picture Quality index – an overall score of the quality of the pictures is given from the Tools menu, as well as a visual aid (Pro only) in order to detect possible issues (i.e. out of focus) in your pictures. The higher the score, the higher the quality of the picture.
- UI improvements – lots of minor UI improvements, including tooltips and descriptions.
Plus bug fixes. 3DF Zephyr Pro is priced at $2900, a Lite version is available for $199. More on 3Dflow’s website.
