RealityScan - 3D Scanning App

RealityScan 1.4.1 is now available.

What’s New:
- Standalone slides open automatically once
- Double-tap to zoom in Set Area/Crop mode
- Removed Cancel button from Set Area screen

Bugs Fixed:


- Usability issues with Crop tool edge markers.

- Auto-capture not stopping when switching views
- Update Preview Mode' button appears even if no change has been done to model




Known Bugs:


- Preview model is not generated.
- Projects are stuck on Submitting to Sketchfab.
Workaround: Kill and restart the App

What’s New:


- New Cropping Experience
It’s now easier to achieve precise control over the processing volume, which ensures that your model only contains the parts of the scan area that you need.
Quickly switch between fixed 2D views of your subject, and drag the boundary lines into place.

- Cleaner final meshes
RealityScan automatically filters out unwanted artifacts like floating triangles and small mesh fragments.

- Improved UVs
RealityScan now lays out the UV maps it creates more uniformly, which can improve visual results for texture rendering and lighting in 3D tools.

- Categories and tags
You can now set categories and tags for your models in the RealityScan app before you share them to Sketchfab.
This makes your models easier to search and find on the Sketchfab site.

- New tutorial slides
On first use of the app, a short slideshow illustrates the overall scanning process and what qualities make for good and bad subjects.
(You can still see the previous video by going to Settings > View Tutorial.)

- Processing now requires at least 20 photos
This prevents accidental submissions that might not succeed.

- What’s new & update notifications
The RealityScan app now shows the list of recent changes the first time you launch it after upgrading.
It also alerts you when there is an updated version available.

Bugs Fixed:
- The "Update Preview Model" button incorrectly appeared when users navigated back from the Process & Export screen.

- Resolved unexpected crashes

Bugs Fixed:


- Fixed a crash that could happen on devices that had not been restarted for more than 50 days.

Auto-Capture
Tap the capture button once to enter auto-capture mode, which takes photos for you automatically as you move around the subject.




UI/UX Improvements
Improved viewer navigation, including helpful guidance for first-time users and a new layout for viewer actions in Capture view.


Improved automated cropbox
When you send your model for processing without cropping the preview first, the default model you will get will by be better cropped than before, with less of its surroundings included in the scan.


Unguided mode
Turning Live Guidance off in Settings will let the user skip uploading photos with live processing and getting live guidance (like real-time point cloud and model preview) during the capture, while still allowing to send scans for processing easily once finished. This replaces the previous Offline Mode option, and allows for a more streamlined workflow if you feel you don’t need guidance.


Advanced navigation viewport controls
Two-fingers panning and a new reset view option to recenter the model in the viewer.

RealityScan 1.2 is now available.

What’s New
- Send projects for processing directly from the Projects list: save time, data, and battery life by capturing images while offline and uploading them later when you’re back online.
- Batch process: use the new multi-selection ability in the Projects list to upload and process multiple projects with a single tap.
- Increase the limit to 250 photos per scan

Bugs Fixed
RSAPP-949 - Users in China see a black screen instead of video.
RSAPP-1014 - Project title is replaced by "finalized" in Sketchfab for new users.
RSAPP-1169 - Crop box modifications are not persisted between sessions.
RSAPP-1171 - Project description is not persisted between sessions.
RSAPP-1179 - Crash when attempting to Process and Export after performing a Crop on an Existing Project.
RSAPP-1182 - Unable to Process and Export with a Finalizing....failed Unexpected State (obb0e7aa)

This version brings a number of fixes and improvements, among which are:

- Color Pointcloud returns
- Image capture using volume rocker and Bluetooth trigger
- Tutorial can be skipped even if it doesn’t load
- Session IDs are now visible in Settings & Send Feedback email

and more

This version brings a number of improvements we are excited to let you try!

- New UI/UX design for a smoother scanning process
- View and remove unconnected (unaligned) images more easily
- Preview models are now created automatically at the Review stage
- Store and manage your projects more effectively with the enhanced Project Library
- Select and delete multiple projects at the same time
- Name projects, models and add descriptions before exporting to Sketchfab
- Preview your final model in the embedded Sketchfab viewer
- Models are uploaded to Sketchfab as Private instead of Draft

and more

Updates improving the user experience.

- HEIC format now used instead of JPEG, with ~50% reduction in file size (thus faster upload)
- new default "Smooth" finalization preset, which is ~3-4x faster and produces a smoother mesh (allows possibility to revert to the original "Detailed" preset in Settings)
- improvements to the .fbx export format - now properly oriented, scaled and centered after import into UE5 (make sure to check "Convert Scene Unit" when importing (only once); unchecking "Remove Degenerates" (only once) is also recommended)

Fix:
- the AR session runs only when scanning- reducing battery drainage

The Age Rating and EULA were updated.
