Epic RealityScan vs RealityCapture Tutorial & Iphone Photogrammetry 3D scan comparison / UE5

In this video I did a quick budget photogrammetry comparison using the Iphone 12, my friends yard and broken plant pot. Both processes were incredibly quick well under 15 minutes. The RC model cost 0.39 dollars and needs a high end PC, the RealityScan needs just an apple phone and network connection at time of writing.
I used Blender to trim and position geometry, and import into Unreal Engine 5.0.0 new third person character template.

I got a suggestion: compare RealityScan to PolyCam.

[@maxmustsleep]

Great comparison, I'm excited to see where this goes once it's out of beta. I really love epics monetisation model that you only get charged once you actually make money and since it's so integrated in their ecosystem it should be easy to share quickly

[@vrguytokyo]

Thanks for all your brilliant info! I FINALLY got myself a decent pc laptop so I could dive into photogrammetry and creating assets (especially around Japan) a lot more seriously! I don’t know much about pc’s but sincerely hoping I do not hit any walls with the size of investment I made lol! Going to need to review all your content again for the 3rd or 4th time lol Hope you have kept yourself well these crazy times!

[@TrinhStudios]

Nice review! I kind of wished you could feed images from your phone library to the app and preview the textures before exporting. I sometimes use my phone to capture pictures and send it over to my pc to process them. Realitycapture obviously got the better mesh and detail but Realityscan might be interesting depending on the price point.

[@rossmaclean2]

Great comparison. RealityScan looks really promising but I'll wait for them to announce the pricing before getting too excited.

[@rob99201]

I thought during the "State of Unreal" it was going to be free? See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYuvmpWfa9iSm9k

[@riufq]

i thought it was free

[@temporallabsol9531]

@@riufq maybe for a couple years. It's still pretty early on. I've been in the game professionally for about eight years and it's already been a journey.

[@victorxmaster634]

Free for now

[@Chimera_Photography]

That’s not how they do it. Unreal Engine / Epic developer tools are always free. Always. You only pay if you make money… Don’t speak if you don’t know.

[@argyleasia9932]

Great vid, thanks for the info

[@LooeyvilleSlugger]

thanks for the comparison. subbed! they are going to charge an arm and a leg for this app.

[@culpritdesign]

That red texture reminds me of zed brush too!

[@christoph1982]

thanks for the comparison, would be interesting to see if the app can beat polycam app in quality

[@FrancescoMarcantoni]

It could be really interesting to compare with Apple object capture (using the same set of pictures)

[@monsergentguillaume5108]

Amazing ! Where can we get a link to test the beta ?

[@autodriv3r405]

Now we need a Godox AR400 Ring Light for iPhones and a iPhone Pol Filter ;)

[@gutterballz2180]

39 cents, no dollars...

[@MrKams1]

Yeah I noticed that hence the text over the video. 39 dollars would cost more than the plant pot

[@DougGann]

Whew!!!

[@idiscovertv]

Loved this

[@stefanguiton]

Great video!

[@jayjoshi606]

Great video! Very helpful. Thank you. I have been wanting to learn photogrammetry and RealityCapture seems like the place to start. Can you please suggest any tutorials out there?

[@MrKams1]

Hi the ones on their channel are excellent, they just put a new one out yesterday for import to unreal that's well worth checking out. I have a few on my channel to get you started too

[@saemranian]

Thanks for sharing

[@JackJGX]

You're really good at this, do you make a living selling assets for UE?

[@Bos_Meong]

this makes me want to make a UE5 game

[@simonb1009]

what about bottom side ?

[@shohansakib]

What is the minimum iPhone version requirement for RealityScan?

[@benveasey7474]

Could you create a whole building exterior using RealityScan or is there a restriction on the number of photos used? Cheers

[@xjaiid]

200 photos

[@abdulshabazz8597]

Why not convert streamed video into essential geometry- preserving keyframes

[@virtual_intel]

I like the RealityScan version better via UE5 as it looks more realistic to me.

[@admiralbees1690]

I've really been excited to see what epic do with this. Pity its iOS only at the minute, so that's me out for now.

[@astorMorisson]

I doubt it will come to Android as it very likely relies on the AR hardware in the iPhone which does not have a wide spread equivalent on Android.

[@peter486]

How big was the fie and how big was it after you baked it?

[@MrKams1]

The video shows this and also see sketchfab link for download

[@santosvision]

You meant 39 cents at @4:30 right?

[@Villio.]

Will this app be free or paid?

[@ahmadihsan5652]

good information,, for save money buy ipad and iphone with lidar

[@temporallabsol9531]

I don't have an iPhone. Can I use your screens on my site?

[@MrKams1]

Yeno

[@temporallabsol9531]

@@MrKams1 lol no worries.

[@dirasadirasa2499]

The problem always the same Soo many headache the UI , UX is bad there is no clean UI imagine engine the same as adobe premier or final cut UI layout , is just Soo many clicks here and there

[@billdebley6474]

It looked like 39 cents ($0.39) not $39.00!

[@jossa90]

Sadly, you need to have nvidia for the desktop app

[@Punisher1992]

why would you retopology it? Use Nanite and give it a go

[@MrKams1]

The Geometry may have use outside of high end pc/console. Eg Mobile/VR/web, Nanite not so good for next gen

[@Punisher1992]

@@MrKams1 that is just not true, if you use nanite and set settings to, lets say 200k plolys on screen, it need next gen hardware ofc, but it is designed for games, i already use it for tech demos build only with nanite megascans geometry, and it runs 2k with 45 fps, out of the box, without any optimization.

[@shimmentakezo1196]

I guess I can't do that with my spider x4

[@ArchitectVirendraChhatria]

Suggest a free and best app for Android

[@shubinternet]

The word "tries" is actually pronounced "trees".

[@MrKams1]

Ha I even called lidar leedar regularly even though li is for light but treeangular sounds kinda weird

[@_caith]

It cost 39 cents, not dollars. 39 dollars would be about 2000 source images with a higher pixel count

[@MrKams1]

There's actually a huge comment in text written on the video and several comments on here that reiterate it's 39 cents. Have a look

[@MrShroombot]

$39! Lol!

[@doufmech4323]

I would not pay money for this though. I use open-source alternatives to reality capture, which works just as well.

[@MrKams1]

I am a huge fan of open source but the only option I have used (Meshroom) does not compare in quality, speed and ease of use to RC

[@ChrisJD64]

Sorry, but what? There is nothing open source that gets close to reality capture. A set of images that Reality Capture processes in 10 minutes and produces an excellent mesh, can take many hours in the likes of meshroom to produce a far worse result. If there is some secret open source project that gets anywhere close to reality capture in terms of speed and quality i'd like to know what it is?

[@doufmech4323]

@@ChrisJD64 True, it will be faster using RealityCapture, but OpenMVS does provide pretty good results.

[@scaredyfish]

Kind of surprising that the app version is worse - I would have thought with the lidar data from the phone's camera and cloud processing it would be able to do better.

[@mrCetus]

Great vid, thanks for the info

[@cryzz0n]

Great comparison. RealityScan looks really promising but I'll wait for them to announce the pricing before getting too excited.

[@tidypixel]

they will make it free for use with unreal engine

[@liquidpza]

I believe there's a high likelihood that it'll be free to use with UE5. That's generally Epic's philosophy, unless I've missed something in press releases and whatnot.

[@penelopesaladfingers426]

is it hugely different from Polycam?
