- In this video I'm covering a very much discussed topic around photogrammetry - comparing softwares. I'm using 3DF Zephyr, Agisoft Metashape, Reality Capture and Meshroom with a dataset I've already created on the previous video.
I've tried to maintain the same parameters across these softwares and show you the facts around the processing phase of them.
Feel free to take your own conclusions of course.

Good comparison. At work we use a 3D scanning camera with depth sensors and a rotating platform. With this setup we can make higher resolution scans than these programs in a fraction of the time (5 minutes is enough for a high quality scan). The downside is that it requires a lot of setup and the scanning space is limited to small objects, no larger than a 150x150x150mm box. You can go larger, but because of the depth of field of the camera you will lose detail.
Everything has drawbacks and it's still a search for which scanning techniques work the best. We are now looking for a handheld scanner since the iPad with surface scanner is crap. It's a fun gimmick, but those iPads just don't deliver good files.
Why are you not going with structured light ? That´s what we use professionally. It far superior to any of these methods.
I wouldn't use dense cloud for this subject in Metashape. No need and the results from the depth map meshing are quicker and far superior. Interesting to see what the other software can do - thanks for the comparison.
Thanks for doing this.
😉
In agisoft you dont have to do dense point cloud, you can use depth map methode to do mesh and it is much faster...
Well, i tried to match all steps between Softwares
@@CarlosFaustino yes, of course! but people should knew that making only mesh in Agisoft can by much quicker... but thanks for video, I was always wondering of other software ;)
@@KrystianFirla you are welcome.. about that, i pretend to show in other videos that specific thing... I just cant put everything on the same video haha :)
Yes it is a little misleading that way.
Sorry...What is misleading?
thank you. very useful.
Thanks
What viewer did you use at the end ?
Normal setting in RC is more than enough especially for this type of model. Then decimate until you get a fairly low and acceptable mesh count.
Hello,RealityCapture Meshroom Metashape which is better?
Is there any way to use this technology with an older mac? i have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
All Photogrammetry programms ive tried wont work with my system.
Very grateful for any tips, or programms that i could use
thank you but this relies a lot on good and recent pieces of tech... recent and powerful cpus and graphics cards... sorry
it looked like RC got the highest fidelity but I've heard it does a kind of cheat where it assumes dark lines are recesses so you get more detail faster but its less accurate?
it did look best here though.
also this vid is 2 years old, does anyone know if there has been any significant progress amongst these tools?
Thanks for the test, i always love to see photogrammetry test but i think you just miss the fact that maximum preset avaliable is not always the best settings to chose (yeah obiviously i'am a metashape user ;) . What would be cool would be to give the presets you used in each software and your hardware specification.
It would be super fun to improve each other workflow by giving the set of photo to let other people try to recreate the object and post their preset.
Well, the presets used on all Softwares are there on the video :) the PC specs i cant say right know cause the PC as i said on the video belongs to a friend... I dont want to create hate between software fans... Usually i do my stuff on zephyr but i also like stuff on metashape and other stuff on RC so... The main goal here is to create good photogrammetry content. About the dataset, i guess i could put it available on the description of the vídeo. I'll do it tomorrow ;)
@@CarlosFaustino don't worry, I'am not a software integrist. software are just tools, only the result counts ! Thanks again to produce video with such good content
I’ve tested the 3DF Zephyr presets vs. the advanced settings in their User Guide and consistently found the presets outperformed multiple variations of advanced settings. I’m using an Iconasys photography turntable, Canon T5, and 2080Ti graphics card. I’m testing with Nikon D810 also.
What settings we should Use in software so that we will get high details model
Depends on your goal and software.
Very nice Video. That was super interesting. It's hard to decide but I think that 3DF Zephyr did the best Job. I thougt Reality Capture would give the best result but you proved me wrong 😅.
Thank you 😃
Apparently yeah but as soon as you compare the final meshes you see that RC one is way extrapolated when you convert those 38 million tris into One million im not sure if it holds the detail so well
In my experience, sometimes 3dzephyr is better and sometimes reality capture. I generally run them both to see the difference.
@@gabrielsimpson8210 the main goal is to achieve a good result... If you can have both softwares great , that is even better :)
The thing is that with reality capture you would get the same result in normal detail as the others in high detail. And with a huge benefit in time. Can you confirm that please? Thanks.
Hi Thanks for this great clarifying vid. I need to scan some Lego pieces, I'll be using my Nikon DSLR camera. I wonder what software you'd recommend me? any suggestions re the camera? Thanks!
The higher resolution, the better texture and mesh quality you get. I photoscan stuff with my 108MP camera. It takes longer with a high resolution, but damn, the results are amazing. I recommend you use reality capture. It's not expensive at all. 145 images at 4000x6000 resolution costs £1.05
@@pawnix4122 Really cost that low cost???
@@snowboyken yes
Canon EOS 5DS R - 50MP, $1,499 New, $918-1,250 Used Body
Well, that would be a cost on project... If you are a beginner and just wondering, get zephyr or metashape
What hardware did you use? Isn't that the main factor that determines speed ?
The hardware was the same on all of them .. what determines speed is the software itself
What GPU did you used?
@@Criticalgraphics I was gonna ask this.. it might be faster or same speed on same gpu.. I have 3 gpus, and rc and metashape seem to work at similar speeds, algorithms for gpu might be better
@@CarlosFaustino that's not painting the whole picture, did you just use cpu or gpu, it's never that simple, more gpus might mean they all behave similarly.. also nvidia or amd.. etc
@@robob3ar None of this matters since the setup does not change but the software does, it´s not about the setup its about the sofware. Also it is not a scintific paper it´s a simple comparison. I could also add that newer versions of all of those program improve timing but thats not what the video is about.
Is there a depth map option in 3df zephyr?
hey there, honestly don't know but check the FB group "3D Flow Academy" and you will get your answer in a bit :D
@@CarlosFaustino Thanks for the quick response!
I am getting awful results in zephyr compared to metashape, with the relevant settings.
By the way what is the software you used in the last part of the video to preview the generated model?
@@istvanj.2538 no problem ;) but i'll assure you that it may be something that is not tuned properly... the software was marmoset toolbag..but in order to just preview the model you can do it with 3D Viewer native in Windows :D
What GPU is used for your test?
hey, one Asus Dual GTX 1060 OC 6GB
hey,
Carlos Faustino
Can you comment the specification for the pc you used
For this time now it is a crappy one, i7 4790k , 32gb RAM , GTX 1060 6gb 🙈
@@CarlosFaustino thanks for letting me know
@@milanmanoj7395 u're welcome
In 3df did you have to mask first? It looks like you used a turn table but when viewing the final mesh it looks like you took the photos in a car parking garage.
No the car parking garage must be a HDRI image but of course of a real parking garage.
👌😊
very good thanks
😉
THANK YOU SIR
Thank you - Excellent video
thank you😀
J utilisé 3dfzephir que je trouve mieux pour sa vitesse....pour les filtres afin d optimiser au mieux pour l export sur les softs 3D, car besoin d assets et donc une optimisation importante pour garder la texture sans faire de retopologie dans le soft 3D
Sou do Brasil, qual seria a melhor opção pra game design?
If you have an Nvidia GPU with a lot of Cuda cores, Meshroom.
@@SylvieTheBagel Hello,RealityCapture Meshroom Metashape which is better?
If you are a beginner, go with Metashape
Se tás a começar, vai pó Metashape... Se já es iniciado, zephyr
Thanks Dude!
U're welcome ;) i'll keep on making photogrammetry videos , if it interests you stay tuned 🙂
Eu vi o pão e soube logo que este video era de um PT :D
Hahahah clássico 😃
ok
😉
Reality capture is blazing fast. You made it produce 10 times more polygons than the others. As others say, this comparison is of little or no use.
Normally you would simplify the model and reproject the texture of the high poly model
@@f-act1041 Indeed. The comment was a about photogrammetry speed vs originally derived polygons/fidelity.
1 hours in RC for that little object !!?? I did like 10 similar object with RC and it too about 15minute for the whole process of each one ! you must have some really old computer !!
Well it was in high details mesh like the other softwares and the PC is a i7 4790k, 32gb RAM and a GTX 1060 6gb... Dont forget that the normal mesh is quite fast on RC but as soon as you dial high quality... It goes like slow motion haha
@@CarlosFaustino That's a pretty.... Shitty PC. Old gen. Nothing good for the actual generation. I took me 8 minutes up to 14 for an object like that (i5 10600; 16GB RAM, RTX 2060Super+OC).
On my second PC that i use mostly as server, my settings are i7 3770K; 32GB RAM; RTX2060 -6GB and... Well, it's up to 25-26 minutes for the same object.
Both Meshroom (official licence) and Metashape (free trial).
@@Ale_giro well, thats what i have... I would accept one PC better if you would like to offer me. Can i send you my address?
@@CarlosFaustino pay me and i will. Otherwise put your money in your hands, especially because you earn them from this video (not from me, i have Vanced). With 5-600€ you can buy a new PC way better than your.
@@Ale_giro good for you 👌 have a nice weekend
