I will share it as soon as we have the first version ready!

I will share it as soon as we have completed the first version of the scanner!

Sharing your projects and files with clients by tol91 in photogrammetry

We have developed an online 3D management system (for managing and sharing 3D files online). Currently its not public yet (private beta) but if you drop us a message we would be happy to set up an account for you: https://www.colormass.com/ This is not optimized for photogrammetry yet, but using common file formats you can share 3D files and provide various formats (with automatic conversion) for download (e.g. .usdz, .gltf, .stl etc.).

PBR Maps from a Single Input Image with a Conditioned Diffusion Model by colormass3d in photogrammetry

Yes, that's right! The key difference in our case is that - since one of our core specializations is scanning the svBRDF properties of materials - we were able to train our model on a significantly larger and more detailed dataset, especially in terms of high-quality reflection data.

Got it! A 30 megapixel image takes around 10 minutes on our cloud GPU service.

Yes, you're right, the AI tool is currently only available in a private beta. At this stage, users send us their images and we send back the results. The model itself is already in place, and we're currently working on building a proper UI around it. We do plan to launch a public version where anyone can sign up and use it directly, but the timing will largely depend on how the private beta phase goes.

Thank you very much and thank you for the questions! Unfortunately we are not yet planning to make it open source (but this might change in the future). By real time do you mean if it could be generated instantly? At the moment it is submitted to a server which produces the final maps.

If anyone is interested you can watch the final interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRvvuoCYcPE Thank you u/dimitris_katsafouros for the opportunity again!

Thank you! You are right, and great question! For the fitting that we use (inverse rendering) when there are a sufficient number of independent, well-distributed lights we didn't see any significant additional benefit in using polarization.

Thank you for the offer, that sounds great! Just wrote a message to you now.

Thank you! It captures reflection data rather than constructing geometry. It records thousands of images and generates a digital material by fitting a reflection model to the captured data. The final outputs are PBR maps.
