Luma 3D Capture

Cons: Occasionally the app crashes during scanning, fails to process scans, and the scanning process itself is rather difficult (some practice is necessary!) Poor captures result in very noisy scans. Pros: The scan quality is overall best on the market, and captures all reflections rather than just individual points in space. The ability to scan the background makes it much more practical than lidar. Incredible potential.

I know the principles of NeRFs and Photogrammetry are different but, but this is like a moment in time when mobile photogrammetry was first introduced, since then it has gotten much better. NeRFs are able to solve details which were impossible with traditional photogrammetry, even cross-polarized. Reflective surfaces like mirrors, metal, water, glossy paint, eyeballs, no problem for NeRFs. Glass, transparency, translucency. Also no problem. The results might look rough today, but imagine how we will help improve that tomorrow!

This is a great app to get realistic, quick processing 3D models for either draft models or vfx. This app is best used for getting a quick result, or for visual effects (where extreme accuracy is not really necessary). For example, you can get a quick draft result from a bunch of images (to see how it will turn out in another software) before waiting hours, or even days for a personal computer to process the same data. I definitely recommend this app for anyone who is a vfx artist, animator, hobbyist, or just wanting to mess around with some cool tech. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this technology evolves.
