Anyone using Recap360? Next to Infraworks 360, Recap 360 is my new favorite tool. :)
This is a little test I did. I took a series of photos using my iPhone 6 and uploaded them to the Recap 360 cloud service and it created a 3D model that I can download as an RCS file (point cloud), clean up using Recap and bring into AutoCAD or Revit to create a 3D model of existing conditions.

Cool! been wondering how it works and wanting to give it a test.
How does it stack up to accuracy?

It depends on... well.... LOTS of factors. Lighting and variations in texture are probably the biggest contributors to getting a good result. Notice how it's overcast? That helps eliminate a lot of the over/under exposure and unwanted shadows. Also, there's a good amount of contrast in textures, shapes, etc. that make it easier for Recap to stitch the photos together. I did an interior test in our multipurpose room at work about a month ago and because all of the walls are the same color, and the tables are the basically the same color as the walls, and there isn't a lot in the room to begin with, I ended up with less than desirable results. I could've added something like different colored pieces of paper on the walls to help it stitch the photos better.

This view of the house gives you a better idea of how accurate the photo stitching is.

Cool. We took a bunch of photos for a roof replacement project(s) and I thought those would be a good test.
I have some training time coming that I was going to use it to clean my cube but I think I will use it on this. Sound more productive. :crazy2:
