## What is 3D Photos?

Introducing 3D Photos! Magically create stunning 3D Models from your photos taken either on your iPhone/iPad or any other camera. A Mac is required to perform the 3D models. Use your iPhone/iPad with AR Dome to take photos of your object from every angle, including underneath. Then open 3D Photos on your Mac, your iPhone/iPad will auto-detect it's open and with one tap, the conversion from images to a 3D model will begin. When your Mac is finished creating the 3D files, it will automatically transfer the files back to your iPhone/iPad. All you do is take the photos and press a button! 

3D Photos exports to USDZ or with Raw quality, you can export to get separate files like Mesh, Obj and USDA.

Never has their been an app that creates such life-like 3D Models so easily! Use your 3D models on your website to sell your goods or import the 3D files to your professional 3D app with ease!


Mac System Requirements: Any Mac with an M1, M1 Pro or M1 Max OR any Intel Mac with 16GB of RAM and an AMD GPU with 4GB of VRAM running MacOS Monterey

### 1/5 — App Broken?

*2024-03-23*

The app is broken on Mac (M1 Mac Mini) and iPhone (13 Pro).

### 1/5 — Black screen on iphone15 pro max

*2023-12-04*

Doesn’t work for me

### 1/5 — Just a black / blank screen upon opening the app!

*2023-06-06*

The app seems broken / useless on both my iPhone 14 Pro and my iPad Pro. When I open the app, on both devices it’s just a back screen and nothing seems to ever happen or load or anything. I left it open for 15 minutes… still nothing. Closed app, rebooted the devices, etc. Nothing seemed to help.

### 5/5 — High qualty 3d renders, good UI, stable

*2023-02-21, version 1.1*

I was one of those early users who purchased a full-fledged app version for just about $30, and have not regretted the purchase. 
Per my observation, other similar photogrammetry apps that are free always result in unusable 3d models, with other "quality" apps charging you on a monthly basis about $15/lowest tier, which is pure robbery -- particularly considering that the funcionality of all such apps is afforded by Apple in the fist place. 
3d models generated by this app are exactly the same HIGH quality offered by other, subsciption-based apps, and so I thik paying a one-time fee is a great option. However, I do think that $50 is way too much. 
Another aspect is that this app "reportedly" does not collect any data -- unlike MOST other apps here on the store.

### 2/5 — Charges $50 to use a feature Apple built

*2022-08-19, version 1.1*

Apple built 99% of the tech being used in this app. It works, but options are limited. If you want more than a preview (which is a quality-level that Apple specifies, in addition to Web, Fine, Full, and Raw) then a $50 one-time fee page pops up. All this developer did was integrate Apple's PhotogrammetrySession framework into a usable UI.

### 4/5 — Need Improvements

*2022-01-03, version 1.1*

Ok I like it, does a good job on turn table photogrammetry although i didn't try it yet movable camera around the subject. But need some improvements. The biggest one in my opinion is the ability to save obj file right after raw processing. Why when save obj, the process start over? The second is the ability to save obj in any quality. The third...just save only 3d model, not all the images again. A grid in viewport, a percentage progression bar....I would given 5 stars if my no 1 point wasn't so annoying.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work?

*2021-10-29, version 1.0*

No matter what images I use, it creates the same 3d image of a shoe on a box... doesn't seem to use the photos being imported

**Developer response:** Please email us, we would like to fix this bug asap. apps@heytopia.com. Thank you!
