Real 3D Scanner vs iPhone 13 Pro Max LIDAR Comparison | Revopoint Pop 2! 

The Video I have been looking for!

I wish you could have shown the mesh in Edit mode to see how many vertices, edges and faces there were. That would be interesting to see how much data it created.

So that revopoint scanner demands constant Internet connection to compute stuff on the cloud? I thought 3d scanners are offline devices. What a let down.

This is really helpful. Thank you,

A great video. We're still in the early stages of consumer lidar technology. Some people will remember how mediocre phone cameras were 10-15 years ago, and a lot of us get great results with them now. Something similar could happen with lidar. Pop 2 was very impressive with the face scan, but you might have to spend more money to construct 3D models of jewelry because of the difference in scale. A possible workaround for small distances might be visible light photography/photogrammetry, but with more images in future versions of Meshroom, PhotoScan, RealityCapture, etc. Existing software might work if you used a macro lens with a DSLR.

Nice , good comparition .

Would have been interesting to see EM3D or Capture used on the bust versus LIDAR.

AMAZING CONTENT AND INFO... YOU ARE THE MAN

Hey nice video! Something a bit different in relation to a phone x phone comparison. Sure, different tech for different markets but it's nice to see the difference in each and what's possible from them. Keep up the good work!

In the demo on the Kickstarter, they scan an action figure. Have you tried to do that? Curious what kind of small detail it can capture. Thanks!

Bro, u deserve more subs

thanks for a very informative video. Just tried EM3D today - quite good but I am keen to know if things have progressed today with better apps for the iPhone to capture faces in 3D with the rear cameras.

Ive scanned a Ford F550 recently with my 13pro using Metascan. It does pretty well... but does start to artifact once i get back to where i started (at the front of the truck)

Thanks for sharing! As an avid outdoors person, I was wondering if you could do a video on scanning wildlife tracks in snow or soft ground. Tracks such as dogs, coyotes, deer, etc. would be very cool to see the iPhone 13's lidar scanning capability. Cheers!

I'd be curious to see how these devices perform on a construction site, for as-built recordkeeping.

Great video! I am definitely tempted by the Pop 2 and am looking at it specifically for face/head scanning. Could you tell me if you tried the dark/hair scanning mode, please? This was a major weakness of the original Pop. Revopoint claim they have improved things, but I haven't seen any demos of it!

Processing in the cloud?? That’s never a free word Cloud 😂 so what’s the deal with that? We have to pay for our scans? Because there’s NO reason to use a Cloud renderer unless features are only available to there paid cloud service. SO do we have to pay for better scanning or is my duel A6000 ok?

Seeing that you need to upload the data to the cloud to analyse it, the device will only work as long as their service is working.

What is the texture size with this POP2? The POP1 is only 2MP

How long would it take to scan the full body of a person with either of those?Considering the larger size compared to a face, would the lower resolution of the iPhone be sufficient to scan a full body?

I've been trying to look for software to add my head to games. Can you tell me what you are thinking of using please?

Just got the 13 Pro Max .There's other 3d apps that show better quality, than the one featured. Many compelling reasons to go phone instead of scanner. Would have gone Samsung, but they discontinued their alternative, scanning feature, on the new ones. Apple seems committed to Lidar. Should give developers confidence to further improve the scan softwares for the phone.

Any thoughts on the Pop2 vs the new Creality Lizard (soon via Kickstarter)?

It doesn't make much sense that the scan would look detailed when textured, even responding properly to changes in the 3D lighting, and then magically have no detail underneath. Are you sure it's not using a normal map to create the detail that stops being applied when you remove the textures? Because if so and you really need the model itself to be high-poly, it's a pretty simple process to bake the normal map in and make it part of the mesh.

Hello, is there any way to merge the texture overlay quality from the iphone with the underlying accurate data from the POP2?

Nice review! I headed right to the link to buy one, but then I saw the price. Still not quite hobbyist price yet.

HOW EXPENSOVE IS CLOUR BASED RENDERING?

Which one is best?

What is the best smartphone in 2022 for 3D scanning?

Can I get distance between two three points in real world units ? If so how to do that ?

What is the name of the program you use on your iPhone?

Does the PC version is cloud based also?

I have an iphone 13 pro max and I dont know how to use it help?

does the samsung s21 ultra has the same scanner ?

any information on it's performance scanning larger objects like homes or full rooms?

Scan a d&d mini figure for the ultimate details torture test (vs software taking a fuzzy point cloud and just turning everything into a blob).. Also, did ya get a CR-Scan lizard from creality to compare?

It would be interesting to see if this Revopoint Pop 2 could be used to scan weathered headstones, and if it would be a worthwhile investment for that (not interested in scanning anything else... and can't afford an iPhone).

Thank you for the awesome review! Now I can't go back to not spending 1k bucks. ^^; But it will be worth it!

Does Revopoint Pop 2 app works on Mac?

What’s the difference between car Lidar and IPhones dot projector?

Will the pop2 produce a RCP file for import into the AutoDesk ecosystem?

Prosím, dá se Pop 2 použít na skenování pokojů/interiérů? Potřebovala bych to pro návrhy nábytku, jako zaměření. Děkuji

Nice, video. Can I use Revopoint Pop 2 for footwear 3d scanning? will it give m a fair enough accuracy? can you make one video in which you 3D scan a footwear

Hmm what about the rear sensor?

Oh man, you look a lot like me 😂🖤

I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Last night tested it out with all the 3-D scanning apps using a small model or my face similar to this video. I was pretty disappointed with the results nothing detailed enough To be usable for anything. I’m interested whether the new phone is any better but I’ll stick with looking at cameras design for this instead

COST?

12 pro and 13 pro, are there any differences between lidar sencors?

So the Pop 2 isn't out yet?

How’s things. What’s the range of each test products. With a longer self stick. Would be cheaper and higher res than a drone. Right ? Or maybe I went done a rabbit whole. Much as

I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews from people who are disappointed and it's very hard to determine if this is because these people are already used to a higher standard or if the device is actually bad.

You should have put your head on the rotating scan for proper comparison.

The iPhone scanner is more universal, like with the iPhone you can scan a car or room

side question: what are you using as monitor?

The scanning tech in the iPhone is quite impressive, considering that it's just built into the phone. On a side note, what camera did you use to capture yourself when talking? It has a strange sharpening effect to it. Not a big deal, but wanted to provide some feedback nonetheless.

iPhone 13 has the worst TrueDepth scanning of any apple product ever made. So this is a semi accurate test. But not completely fair. But not unfair lol. The iPhone 13 pros moved the true depth camera to change the notch. The result is that the sensors are closer together and less parallax follows. My iPhone 11 base model is a whole other world of quality compared to iPhone 13 pro. My iPad Pro 12.9” is also roughly the same as the 11. But better final texturing from the better front camera. Maybe it will be improved for 14 or maybe front LiDAR will get a boost who knows. Photogrammetry is still much better than any consumer IR or LiDAR. So everyone should just use that.

WHAT IS THE BEST APP TO CAPTURE A PERSON’S BODY TO THEN SEND TO THIRD ORTY SOFTWARE?

Could you use POP2 to capture you smile face with open mouth. I am very interested on the details of teeth performances. Thank you.

What do you know about game dev? Clearly not much - you dont need high quality mesh for gaming, quite opositive - you build as low mesh as posible and compensating high quality details by adding textures, normal maps, etc to bring back the high details. Thats how you save memory which is very important.

Is there any promises that the next gen iphone will be better?

so... my question is-how can you purchase one? maybe it's obvious and I'm missing something but... I'd like to get my hands on this asap...

Interesting video but there are far better iPhone 3d scanning apps, Heges and Scanniverse to name but a few. Could you scan a lego block with the POP 2 please? The iPhone LIDAR is unable to scan one in my experience yet the front facing true depth camera can with no problem.

What monitor are u using? Looks neat

I’m watching on iPhone 13 Pro Max!

I mean you did use a terrible app for the face scanning using the TrueDepth camera, that thing is used to identify you. Its got an accuracy of up to 0.5 mm.

Can you make a video of how to make a 3D Scan into a Solid using Solidworks please 🙏🏼

The Pop2 is a lot cheaper.

The Lidar scanner on the back camera of iPhone 12 is many times better

ok.. so you dont seem to realise that with the revo.. you only got to the pointcloud stage.. you never actually textured it....

I thought you would scan your face with your device, but you didn’t! 🤷‍♂️ How can I support you on kickstarter without this test?

The best iPhone front sensor result by far is with EM3D. Try it!

The Einscan SE blows the Revo away for just a little more. Everything else is a toy.

But not a single comment on price? A dedicated, single purpose product for $800 US or a multi-purpose product that comes in at maybe 75% of the quality but with some post touch ups, can probably get really close to equal quality. If you're doing 3D prints for your own customers, you'd probably want something with even more accuracy than the Revopoint Pop 2 anyway - as you mentioned, the captures were not perfect and when you only have one chance to capture a moment, would you really trust the Pop2? So, IMHO, the Iphone 13 is perfect for a consumer. It cost me $300 to upgrade from my Iphone 11 and I get a LiDAR scanner that gets me close, and I still have maps to find my way home and make a call. A little Blender tweak and I'm 100% there. Or, I could spend $800, still need Blender post and have no other use for it. If I'm going to make money off of it, I'm going to invest in a professional product but they run ~1500 to infinity. Seems like the Pop2 is a so-so product for a so-so price.

the tv:

The included white bust’s detail is garbage. Most of it is smooth

Capture is garbage. Other apps do a better job using the face id front facing scanner. Try testing something like Scandy instead.

22000 vs 1100 $ .................................................

ofc iphone loses , cuz ur promoting Revopoint Pop 2

I'm sure Chinese can do better for the money

Terrible comparison.

did you record this on an iPhone 13pro too cause the color quality is terrible ngl you look like Mark Zuckerberg with those lifeless fish eyes XD (no hate)

You are talking a lot , and show shot results! Its not working

Hey! Get your audio off the floor- you're ears aren't on your ankles man!

No offence , but why you show your face too often?

Stop looking right and left constantly, that's not a natural way of talking to people. Observe professional actors and learn.

any information on it's performance scanning larger objects like homes or full rooms?
