Step 1
Capture your subject
Collect overlapping photographs, aerial imagery, or LiDAR data from the scene you want to reconstruct.
Photos, drone, or LiDAR

Photogrammetry workspace
RealityCapture is a professional-grade application for advanced photogrammetry workflows. Capture the world around you and turn it into precise, reconstruction-ready 3D data.
Faster alignment, smarter automation, and visual inspection tools help VFX artists, game creators, survey teams, and anyone who needs to build accurate digital models at scale.
From a phone or camera to a detailed model, RealityCapture keeps the workflow clear from raw photographs to the final asset.
Explore the RealityCapture workflow and start building your next scan.
What’s new in RealityCapture
A focused set of improvements brings cleaner captures, faster workflows, and more confidence to every reconstruction.
AI masking
Automatically separate your subject from its surroundings with intelligent masking. Skip repetitive manual cleanup and move from raw photographs to reconstruction-ready data with fewer interruptions.
Smarter alignment
New defaults improve image alignment, especially on surfaces with minimal features. Get more consistent components and spend less time correcting avoidable errors by hand.
Aerial LiDAR support
Combine aerial imagery, aerial LiDAR, and terrestrial data to create precise maps, orthographic projections, and 3D models for surveying, simulation, mapping, and VFX environments.
Aerial imagery + LiDAR
Quality analysis
See where a scan may be incomplete before moving to the meshing stage. Visual quality views help you find missing coverage and check your mesh before texture and PBR work begins.
Learn more about the improvements in the RealityCapture tutorial and explore practical workflows for turning imagery into useful 3D data.
RealityCapture is made for teams and individuals who need accurate digital reality without a complicated handoff between capture, alignment, modeling, and delivery.
Start with a small object, a room, a building, or a landscape and build from there.
Built for real-world capture
Whether you are creating a game asset, documenting a site, mapping terrain, or preparing a VFX environment, RealityCapture keeps visual fidelity at the center of the workflow.
Start with RealityCapture
RealityCapture is free to use for students, educators, individuals, and companies with annual gross revenue below $1 million USD. Begin with your images and build a precise 3D result.
Step 2
Align the scene
Use intelligent masking, stronger defaults, and clear quality views to prepare a consistent reconstruction.
Faster, cleaner alignment
Step 3
Build your model
Move from aligned imagery to a detailed, textured 3D model ready for design, games, mapping, or VFX.
