New features in the latest version of Creative Dimension Software’s image-based modeling tool include:
- Marker-less camera solving – 3DSOM works out all the camera angles automatically using “natural” features in the scene.
- Hardware accelerated (GPU) marker-less processing – if you have a NVidia graphics card, the marker-less processing is now hardware accelerated for fast processing (otherwise it will still run using multi-threaded CPU)
- More complete and reliable point cloud generation – 3DSOM now extracts as much information from the photos as possible
- Faster loading of images – using multi-threaded loading of JPEG images
- Incremental improvements to 3D modeling engine
3DSOM Pro 5 is available through permanent ($995) and rental ($28.50/month) licensing options. A trial version is also available. More on 3DSOM’s website.
