RealityScan 2.0 emerges as a game-changer for professionals in architecture, visual effects, and game development. By integrating advanced features like GPU-accelerated alignment and AI-driven masking, it addresses longstanding challenges in 3D reconstruction workflows.
Cutting-Edge Features Enhancing Workflow
1. Enhanced Alignment System
The new default high-quality feature detection mode ensures tighter camera alignments with fewer disjointed components. This improvement is crucial for workflows involving Gaussian Splatting, reducing ghosting artifacts and minimizing the need for extensive post-processing.
2. AI-Based Masking
RealityScan 2.0 introduces an AI-powered segmentation model that efficiently separates subjects from backgrounds. This feature eliminates the tedious process of manual masking, allowing for seamless iterations within the application.
3. Quality Analysis Mode
A new analysis mode provides intuitive color overlays on sparse point clouds and meshes, indicating areas of strong (green) and weak (red) coverage. This visualization aids in identifying and addressing gaps before final rendering or splat conversion.
4. Aerial LiDAR Support
The update adds native support for aerial LiDAR files, including formats like LAS, LAZ, and E57. This capability enables the integration of unordered point clouds from drones directly into the reconstruction pipeline, facilitating hybrid workflows that combine color information from Gaussian Splatting with LiDAR accuracy.
Streamlined, High-Quality 3D Reconstructions
With these enhancements, RealityScan 2.0 positions itself as an indispensable tool for professionals seeking efficient and high-fidelity 3D reconstructions. The combination of GPU acceleration, AI integration, and comprehensive analysis tools streamlines the workflow, saving time and improving output quality.
Integrate RealityScan 2.0 into Your Workflow
RealityScan 2.0 is expected to be available through the Epic Games Launcher by the end of June 2025. Currently, RealityScan remains free for individuals and companies below a certain revenue threshold.
