Like Magic

Such a simple and intuitive way to get incredible results in minutes. A few easy guided steps and I was able to get a professional 3D scan; this is an especially powerful tool for capturing outside of the studio and gathering digital assets from real world (and often immovable) objects. Highly recommend and enjoy!

Incredible quality 3D AR at scans

The highest quality 3D capture I’ve used. User friendly as well, really helpful guides and instructions to help create the best scans possible, really captures the details well. Wouldn’t use any other scanning app for art or design pieces.
