Polycam is an affordable app that allows us to scan real world objects with ease. But how good is it? Can it compete with other photogrammetry apps? Let's find out!

I just recently started doing photogrammetry as a cinematographer and I have to say thank you for such a cool channel and helpful content! I'm surprised there aren't many views here.

Great to hear you love the content. Spread the word! :D

I have used Polycam quite a bit. I am currently not subscribed anymore but I will say this - if you’re out scanning this is a fast way to get results before you return back into the office. also, when I have shot three or four have them processed all at once. So I get it a quick feedback for the things I am shooting, eventually getting the chance to re-shoot or shoot more images if I need them. I would consider that a pro for somebody shooting, professionally, knowing that you can get better quality once you’re returned to the office. It’s also nice that you can have a look at your scans from several devices(phone/iPad/computer) Keep up the good work. Kind regards.

Good point. If you're using your phone to shoot images then it's a big plus to get quick feedback. For sure. But then we're going back to the "who's it for" question. If you're shooting professionally you will probably choose to use a camera to get the maximum quality possible. And then we're back to square one. We lose the quick feedback benefit of Polycam. I guess it's doable if you transfer the camera images to the phone on location. But it will be clunky.

@buroachenbach703 Год назад

@@marvelousdecay you’re right, of course. I did transfer photos from camera to iPad to see if it works but then of course it slows down the process. I got the most benefit out of it when I was on vacation scanning things without a lot of equipment still got some nice assets out of it, once I have processed things with PhotoCatch at home, previews were very helpful while I was traveling. So I may just renew my subscription for my next vacation or a longer trip.

What iPhone model is he using

Για assets δεν είναι τόσο καλό πράγματι, αλλά για για αρχιτεκτονική και χώρους είναι απίστευτο

@joelface Год назад

Impressive that Photocatch is free. I don't have a Mac, so I can't use it. I guess it manages to process locally? Perhaps that will be an option on iPhones in another year or two. As for Polycam, I do think that it's targeting hobbyists, but it's also maybe carving out its own niche by having an asset library where people can share and "like" each other's scans, etc. I don't think it's intended for creating movie or big-budget assets... though it would be cool if it had a pro-tier subscription model for that. Turn the "raw" setting into the "high" setting and unlock a REAL raw with a bigger fee. I'd consider subscribing at least for a few months to create high-quality scans of things, just as a hobbyist, if AR/VR headsets ever really start to take off. I suspect that is where they're really hoping to carve out a market.

Fun fact, Polycam is not an iPhone app 😂. It's for almost everyone

@SpartanusCXVII 2 месяца назад

Ευχάριστο, Δημήτρης!

@vavs Год назад

Please mention those good and free alternatives of Polycam

@marvelousdecay Год назад

Mainly Photocatch (the desktop version), the app you see in the tests of the video. It’s Mac only since it uses Apple’s SDK but it’s a fast and easy solution.

@looeehg2490 Год назад

Is photocatch free?

@@looeehg2490 As I said already yes it's free.

@fulybuilt Год назад

Is there a way to measure distance in any of these apps? Are the scanned objects to scale when exported as object or STL files?

@joellogan Год назад

I have Polycam and measuring is one the best features of the app/program.

@retrodiner56 Год назад

in your opinion could you scan a Grave marker that has been worn by time to reveal any text? Thanks, Mike

@marvelousdecay Год назад

you can definitely scan it. It'll scan without any problems. As for revealing text I'm not so sure. It really depends on the state of the marker. I would say to increase your chances of getting good data use a camera instead of your phone.

@stonedetails5715 Год назад

@@marvelousdecay What would you recommend as the best photogrammetry app/software to convert images to a high quality, very accurate point cloud? I have a pretty good 3D laser scanner, but even that doesn't create a point cloud with say .5mm accuracy. You have to spend about $30,000 to get that kind of a scanner. I'm looking into photogrammetry with good software as an alternative to an expensive 3D scanner. Any thoughts on this?

@marvelousdecay Год назад

Metashape is really good and also Apple's photogrammetry SDK is good as well. If you own a PC you can check Reality Capture. It's supposedly really good but I haven't tried it since I'm on a mac.
