The geometry generated from the photos is a mesh rather than an ACIS-like solid. Unlike 123D Catch, ReCap Photo does not limit the number of photos you can submit, and it processes photos in full resolution for a more accurate 3D model. The software leverages the cloud to process and store the photos and data. Using these tools, you can visualize massive point clouds as realistic surfaces and interact with them, performing CAD-like operations such as select, tag, move, measure, clash detection, and object extraction - all with native points.Īutodesk ReCap Photo, available via the Autodesk 360 cloud service, creates high-resolution, textured 3D data from a series of photos taken at different angles around an object. ReCap Photo and ReCap Pro are available at no extra charge to users of Autodesk 2014 design and creation software suites. On the heels of its successful launch of 123D Catch, a mobile app for consumers that turns photographs into 3D models, Autodesk introduced ReCap - a pair of reality-capture applications for professional designers, architects, and engineers who want to create intelligent 3D models from photos and point cloud data.
