KIRI Engine has released version 4.0 of its photogrammetry-based 3D scanning software, introducing performance improvements, AI-powered material capture, and improved features for both free and paid users.
The updated Photo Scan Mode improves results when capturing low-texture objects, addressing a common limitation in earlier versions. Scan processing is now up to five times faster, with times reduced from approximately ten minutes to around two. Photo upload limits have increased, allowing Basic users to upload up to 150 photos per scan, and Pro users up to 500.
A new augmented reality capture mode provides visual guidance during scanning by displaying camera icons for each captured angle. Free-tier users can now export scans without limitations, where previously they were restricted to three exports per week.
The update also introduces AI-powered PBR material generation using diffusion models, enabling more realistic textures. Full-resolution rendering is now available on mobile devices through a new compression algorithm, and users can toggle textures on or off to inspect mesh geometry.
KIRI Engine remains free through its Basic plan, which includes unlimited scans and exports, photogrammetry and LiDAR scanning, texturing tools, and access via web or mobile. The Pro plan is available for USD 17.99 per month or USD 79.99 per year and includes advanced features such as PBR material capture, mesh-included 3DGS scans, quad mesh, auto rigging, increased upload limits, faster processing speeds, and more.
