- In today's video, I test and compare 3 different 3D scanners and tell you which one is the best and if you should get a 3D scanner. Thanks to Onshape for sponsoring today's video. Check them out at Onshape.pro/NextLayer.
It's the dream of every 3D printing enthusiast. You see something in the physical world, scan it in seconds, and print it out in an exact replica on your 3D printer just like that. Up until recently, this has only been possible with commercial scanners that cost tens of thousands of dollars, and tons of training to use properly.
These days all of that is changing, and just like 3D printers have become more and more available to consumers, we're also seeing the first wave of consumer grade 3D scanners hit the market. But are they any good?
I tested three different solutions for at-home scanning, and in this video I'm going to compare them all and tell you which one is the best. Stick around to the end because I'll also answer the question that's on everyone's mind... Should you get a 3D scanner?

THANK YOU for watching. Let me know in the comments what you thought... would you like to see more videos like this, or was this a boring one for you?
Love these "showdown" or "competition" styles of content. Proper Printing's video on extruders is a awesome example of this style. Keep it up, can't wait for the next one!
Actually this was very much the sort of videos i love to watch. Definitly nor boring
Mostly superb. Personally i prefer less funny hair &"funny" showman. For me it's just annoying. Also my "apple allergies" flare up, but truth is that there is not that much options for android. But for me iphone solutions cost whole price of iphone, not just the difference.
😊
Instead of that spray, you can also use baby powder
polycam has a monthly fee that is insane.
True but you can turn it on and as you need/want it.
Great all-in-one video! Been loving your content since I discovered you. I'm a fan of the thumbnails too😄
Yay, thank you!
The latest Revopoint RevoScan (still in beta as of this comment) is another level of simplicity and quality - it combine all you need!
Wow, can I try it? Or closed beta?
@@thenextlayer It's on the download page where it says RevoScan5-Beta. I haven't tried it with my Mini yet but supposed to help them track better and be a better UX overall
I tried it and it just didn't work really at all with my revopop but maybe it just needs more time
I tried it. It’s a fusion between the the studio and the scan software. Finally you can do everything inside one application.
Great video. I think the Mole 3D scanner would have been a good inclusion in this comparison. After using the Revopoint and the Mole 3D scanner I really prefer the output and quality of the Mole3D scans. The software is pretty good for the Mole as well. A lot less post scan cleanup in Zbrush and Houdini with the Mole scans and in my opinion it actually comes pretty close to the accuracy of some of the much more expensive laser/LiDAR scanning equipment we have used in the past.
With the Mole the models align automatically and easily when scanning larger sections in chunks. As you mentioned the software is a huge part of the experience and 3D maker did a pretty good job here.
Not super important but something in passing I thought I’d mention in regards to compute time to process scans and as I love the Mac - and being a user of Mac’s for VFX / film production since the old PowerPC days one place Apple has really dropped the ball is with GPU compute. I also have the M1 ultra and when doing photogrammetry or point cloud alignment whether from laser/LiDAR or other types of 3D work it takes an ice age on the Mac even with Apple Silicon optimized software and when compared to a modestly configured PC with a last generate RTX 3090 the Mac is much slower. In fact my M1 Ultra as configured cost roughly the same as the render node I have with 4x 4090s which completely smokes the Mac in pretty much every 3D task I throw at it. As good as Apple Silicon is it’s GPU compute is a lot less capable than CUDA / RTX and it’s not really scalable like it is on PC where you can just throw in an additional GPU and scale performance with each GPU added. At one point we could do multi GPU setups on the mac - unfortunately Apple went a different way with things and many of us hoping the latest power Mac model would bring that capability back we’re really disappointed again.
Not trying trying to start a MAC / PC holy war as I love my Macs too but I feel like Apple really blew it when they severed their relationship with Nvidia. All of the production level 3D renderers like Arnold / Redshift/ Octane / Vray / Karma - heck even Cycles run much faster under CUDA/RTX than the built in GPUs by Apple and even discreet GPUs by AMD at the moment. It’s a bit of a tangent I’m on but it relates to 3D work in general and the sad state of direction Apple has been heading into since it started focusing less on industry pros and almost exclusively on consumers. Even the photogrammetry based iPhone software you used in this video has upload to the the cloud and do GPU compute on a server farm filled with Nvidia A100’s but I digress.
Anyway great video and I’m glad I didn’t back the Lizard - I almost did and your video made me appreciate dodging that bullet.
That really sucks that software disputes really sunk the Creality. Still, it's great we're getting a lot of cheap options for 3D scanning.
Great review, THANK YOU!
The front-facing LiDAR Scanner on the iPhone is significantly better than the one on the back of the phone. Should have used that one for the comparison.
Oh snap didn't know that thanks.
@@thenextlayer The front facing sensor combined with "Heges 3D Scanner" from the app store has generated pretty good quality (printable) results in my tests. You may still have to edit out the surface you scan on, and the scanning is a bit fiddly, but for a budget solution, it's surprisingly usable.
@@thenextlayer I was about to write the same but wanted to check first is somebody else said it already. Yes, the front facing sensor (for FaceID) is much more detailed for small object, while the LiDAR is meant for big objects like rooms. I’ve already used the faceID one to scan some parts in my house to then design parts to fit the real world. The size of the model is insanely precise from the mesh so designing a model over it will fit perfectly afterwards.
@@almarma what app do you use that uses the faceID side?
@@arcsketch6104 I use EM3D, but I have to say that I got now a new 15 pro with LIDAR and I'm testing an app called Scaniverse, which seems to produce amazing results with the front facing camera and LIDAR combined, also with small objects.
Once again a superb video : good subjects, good questions and good arguments 🙂 Thanks from france. Your channel is a wealth of information
THANK YOu, this was such a nice comment to read
I’m thinking of getting the revopoint, however I wanted to know if the software can take the scanned image and mirror image the scanned image. Since I want to replicate a car part that the part is made for the right side but need to make the left side one of it? Thank you
Thanks for the review. I have a question that I may have overlooked...is there a better color project to be scanned? Like a part being all white or gray? I see scanners don't like black. Thanks.
I use professional scanners at work and bought the CR Scan Lizard. Honestly, I'm getting pretty good results with it. Might just be that the software is buggy enough that it works for some and not for others, but for the price, I wouldn't disregard it.
Even with the studio 2? Maybe it’s your experience level that leads to success?
Can't you export the raw point clouds and use different software?
I use the CR scan for hobby stuff at home and although the software is not great I have been happy with the level of detail and dimensional accuracy
Big props for the Lance Storm super kick !
I wonder if putting on a UV lens filter and taking scans in a dark room with only uv light would result in better scan quality?
היי, אני מחפש סורק תלת מימד להכל...כולל אובייקטים קטנים ופרצופים של אנשים....מה לגבי Revopoint Pop 3 3D? זה יענה למבוקשי? או שמספיק המיני? או שבכלל אני צריך משהו אחר ויותר יקר?
Am I not seeing it in the video list on your channel, or have you not done one for the camera accessories yet?
(New to game development and can't code, but am trying to learn the basics by starting with the terrain) I want to make a game that looks realistic and with mostly 2D AutoCAD (versions 12 - 2008) under my belt I was hoping that a 3D scanner with blender might help. I don't want to use Assets from any Asset store, have compatibility issues and issues with possible copyright. I've been looking at the 3D scanners as a possible way to create my own assets. I was wondering if the revopoint also picks up and creates the textures? (Hoping to be able to scan and import plants, trees, rocks, sea shells, etc.)
On a side note, is the liquid in the center of the sulfur pits: Sulfuric Acid?
Thanks for the video, can you recommend good 3d scan app for iPhone?
I’m pretty sure I am not the only woman subscribed to your channel but this has inspired me to see it I can get my fellow fem printers to join. :) I have to admit, I almost pulled the trigger on the quality, scanner a while back, but I was a bit sceptical that they would be able to pull off the same quality with this software issue. Too bad that my concerns were right but maybe I will manage to save enough for the next step up. Thanks for the reviews!
Yessss bring more estrogen to this channel plz!!
His analytics show there should be around 1k women subscribed, but that was a hilarious line in the video 😂
Interesting video. I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3D scanner. I'm not sure if I would use it enough to justify the cost, but at the same time, I've spent more on other frivolous things in my life. It's just a matter of getting all of my "wanted" toys in a practical order.
I have a bunch of vintage toy accessories such as shoes and pacifiers that I would love to scan and make replicas of, but I can’t find any information for doing something like that.
Btw, you can use Polycam with professional cameras. Giving you infinite resolution and capture count. After looking up best methods and being careful, my Fujifilm X-T30 produced impressive results.
Just for added information / correction. There are no LiDAR-capable Android phones available right now.
Content on HUMAN BODY SCANS would be interesting. And comparison of some of the more commercial / prosumer options if you can get your hands on those for a review
I love the direct and blunt review
Always helps if you bother to learn to use your tools before you pass yourself off as a worthwhile source of information.
Overall, either of the dedicated scanners are still cheaper than buying the iPhone if you aren't on the Apple platform already. Is the scanner app completely free, is it just a free trial or are most of the features blocked by a pay wall? If it's free, then maybe it'd be worth using to scan objects in an environment that is more scanner friendly and you could use a thin pedestal or tripod to help get the object further away from surfaces. I've not used an iPhone since the iPhone 3, but I know a few people that have them and would gladly scan things for me if it's viable.
I notice with the lizard, you were scanning at full brightness setting causing the preview window to show you a red image. Red is bad.....
Same company that makes this professional quality scanner makes a consumer grade scanner that I’m looking at called a einstar from what I have seenhere on you tube it looks intriguing. It’s plus minus 0.2mm you might want to check it out it’s at 1000
what about revopoint pop 3 3d scanner? is it better than the mini? can i scan small objects with this pop 3 3d scanner?
Haven't tried it
Hello. Ferret, POP3 or Mole? What do you think have more detail and Accuracy. Thank you so much for the video.
I was most impressed by the Mole. Haven’t tried ferret
Hi. Great video. I have been using an xbox 360 kinect and software called Kscan3D on windows to 3d scan and model items. 360 kinect cost me $25 AUD and the power adapter and usb lead costs $18 AUD but its no good for smaller objects like a matchbox car but brilliant at 3D scanning things like shoes and the OG xbox console all the way upto scanning people and furniture. I have scanned entire rooms of the house with it no probs. Just putting it out there as a cheap alternative for now until the price of scanners come down
Good thing I still have the old Software for the CR-Scan Lizard, that works perfectly without any manual postprocessing. I haven´t tried the new software yet
Oh snap how can I get it?!!!
@@thenextlayer It was on the USB Stick that came with the scanner. But I just tried the new version and got similar results with it. It perfectly aligned 6 scans of a quite complex object using the turntable and repaired it so i could print it without any manual postprocessing
I'm looking forward to the Mole scanner
Mole scanner? Tell me more...
@@thenextlayerczcams.com/video/dXMF3FH5Dew/video.html
While getting better, those still seem pretty blah for the money imo. Hopefully the next versions down the road, so thanks for doing this, it helped a lot.
You bet
Not to totally push another channel in the comments, but check out Making For Motorsport. He has done multiple videos on 3D scanners with some pretty impressive results. He also goes more in depth on the prep to get good scans with different scanners and on the back end work required in various software. Hoping TNL will cover more scanners in the future.
Have you tried out the DIY-route? I am looking into the project of openscan and asking myself if it is worth the time to print the parts or if the result is rubbish nontheless.
Went full DIY at start, bruned about 700EUR under it, getting better cameras, bearings, metal construction parts, months of wasted time just to get quite bad scan results + each scan took forever to make and process. 6+ hours on beefy computer just for scan automatic processing. Ofc I made relatively big scanner, up to 1m cube
After months of sourcing parts, building, using all kinds of paid and free programs and tons of headache. I just went and bought decent scanner from Shining 3D. It did cost close to 2k (years ago). Scans take seconds instead of hours, has real good percision and I can just scan and send directly to printer, without any post-processing, which used to take hours too
Saves about 10h a day at least per scan (scan time + post-processing)
@@marguskevinsunter Do you still know what software you used?
Also I think that "years ago" is not what can be achieved today. But sad to hear you burning through money for no good result :/
@@Dierundeuhr that "years ago" was about 2 years ago. Most likely things have gotten better, haven't re-evaluated DIY route. Looking at scanner prices they have staid quite the same for past 2 years
As for software. I tried everything out there I could find. Went thro 10+ programs for sure, both paid and free. Most likely there have been advancements in that sector too, but I doupt it has been enuf..
Sounds like so much work!
Be very interesting to see how these stack up against the 3DMakerPro Mole scanner
They offered me a scanner to do some sponsored content, but changed their mind due to timelines. Tweet at them and let them know you want me to do a video still ;)
You guys haven't seen Kiri Engine I guess. Get ready to be blown away. It gives you I think 3 scans a week for free and its pretty inexpensive in monthly cost if you need more scans. It can also process existing photos taken by any high end camera.
Great and informative video. Thank you. i was a bit disappointed that you didn't really show photogrammetry or count the cost in buying an iPhone in the equation (I have an android ). Other than that excellent video that showed the good and bad points of both.
Photogrammetry scanner, take more time to process, also the depth and dimension are more accurate with these lidar type of scanners
@@TheEtbetween Doesnt the iPhone 14 Pro has a Lidar scanner too?
@@TheOnlineCorner it have a LiDAR Scanner, however, it’s not designed for 3D scanning! It design more for depth and distance
It would've been nice to see Polycam on Android vs iPhone. I use Polycam on Android with pretty great results, so whether or not these options are worth it for me really depends on if the printed results are really that much better.
"More like lady and gentlemen"... Mate, you had me howling there :")
Lol thanks I’m so glad you liked it!
@@thenextlayer My husband and I just looked at each other and whooped. Happy to represent!
That "I don't use AnDrOid" was personal
What are the fees for polycam?
Can you use poly cam if your iPhone 14 doesn’t have LiDAR
I think so
I'm waiting for someone to develop an app to use the Meta Quest 3 as a scanner. The necessary hardware is there
Awesome content 👏
Thank you!!!
What's your opinion on 3DMakerPro's upcoming budget Mole 3D Scanner?
They haven’t sent it to me but hopefully they will.
@@thenextlayerEnded up biting the bullet and bought the luxury edition of the Mole.
Wish me luck 💀
thank you for saving me money!
Given the video was released a month ago I would have liked to hear about Revoscan 5 software. What is that apple scanner even doing in here I don't know, but thanks for the entertainment ;)
Bambu X1C comes with a lidar too... If they develop this functionality it would be another big leap forward. Don't know if it is good for the market have a company with that kind of monopolistic advantage.
Interesting idea. What if they implemented a turn table function on a delta style printer with its own LiDAR 🤔
@@SoddenVenus If the lidar is coupled to the printer head the x and y plane can go in to every angle of the object to get the full picture. The head could make a circle to simulate the turn table.
Sadly, I heard that the "lidar" of the Bambu Lab it's not really a lidar. But the idea could be implemented anyway...
I've been using 2 kinect sensor bars for 3d scanning. The quality is better than both these but it did require a lot of tinkering to them to work right. I'm surprised we don't have better and cheaper alternatives maybe the market isn't there yet.
Impressive that you got that working for you!
@@thenextlayer Maybe I made it sound easier than it is. You have to do a lot to get it going and then it's not the greatest but better than the Creality.
send the lizard to me and ill work with it. lol
The correct answer is Einstar. The longer you wait the more behind the curve you will be. Do it right once and go for it. Time is the only resource that you cannot get more of. Spend the money.
When you said "I know what everyone is wondering", I said, "Yeah, is he using sublimating spray to make his hair gray?" 🤣 Enjoyed the humor of this. One thing that I don't think was very clearly stated -- were you using the LIDAR or the photo mode with the phone? I think based on the fact that you called out the price difference it was probably the LIDAR, but I'm not sure.
Hello everyone! Which one is the best for scanning objects Revopoint or Iphone 14 pro? We have 3d printers so We are want to buy cheap scanners to test.
Revopoint in my experience.
Great video, very informative, is there any way you can either change your microphone or something, it sounds like the audio is going between 5 and 7 back and forth lol
I’ll do my best
I have both. They both have their pros and cons. I have been using the Wale software for the lizard as they are the manufacturer of the lizard. It’s been about 90% out of 100. The Revo just had a new update and it’s had some really good scans, but the latest update has been trash. It’s a beta version so I’m not too concerned I still have the older version that works fine.
I know these aren’t cheep but I also have the original creality CR scan and using it with the whale software has made me start using it again.
I think if you take a little time with some of the newer software you can get decent scans out of either one. I think the hardware on both are fine. We’re going to have to wait for the software to catch up.
Just a side note the Einscan which is close to a $1000. The software and the hardware both shine.
Wow ok thanks this is helpful. Can anyone use the Wale software? Maybe I won’t sell the CR-Scan… which one would you keep if you had to choose one?
@@thenextlayer Yes anyone can use the software. The lizard is in it. To be honest I would keep both. They both have their strengths, but not enough overlap to keep just one.
@@lorinrobbins7911 What exactly is the name of the software? I can’t find it
Wale software?
I just ordered the new scanner Creality came out with, hoping the software isn't hot garbage.
What is best scanner for Pens? I need for find a way to scan pens. Is someone having experience on such scannings?
3DMakerPro has something coming out designed for very small details. I hope to test soon.
whating review polycam with iphone 13 or iphone 14
LIDAR on the Carbon 3D Printer waiting to be used?
LOL I don't think it's the same... but also the LiDar didn't do well!
Why doesn't someone just make a scanner that is enclosed (like a box or something) and just does everything for you automatically?
I have access to a 600k and 1 million dollar ct scanner. Reverse engineering is fun. I need a 3d printer though. I can use the scanners at my own whims. Any suggestions under 600$
Watch my recent reviews. The K1C was pretty good
@@thenextlayer cool, I think I could do a lot of fun things with my toys at work and a decent 3d printer. I reverse engineer products for a living. Not sure where to take it though. I need a side hustle.
Gotta point out, you *will* be biased toward something you receive for free versus something you pay for and also look more favorably on all of their products, even if the gift you are given is extremely small.
It's why handing out small gifts at medical conferences by pharma companies is seen as either unethical, or in some places, completely illegal. Though you do acknowledge that it was free, which at least puts things on a more even field.
No 3d maker mole scanner?
Well shoot... 19:10 You just gave me a legitimately good reason to get a 3D scanner. I use custom orthotics in my shoes because I'm super flat-footed. That's kinda exiting and frustrating at the same time because I just bought the expensive X1-Carbon from Bambu Lab and after seeing Morley Kert's recent video, I kinda want to try making my own sandals. Can someone send me unlimited moneys plz??? *sigh*
You can use the printer to make money!!
@@thenextlayer I know that I *can* make money, but anything that I've tried to sell (mostly in person) has always just ended up going back into buying more filament. I'd like to make more money off of my 3 printers (X1C, CR 6 SE, and 3D Print Mill) but trying to learn the intricacies of these devices *while* turning a profit off of them has proven to be very difficult. I'm not even sure of the legality of selling most of the things I print because they're either downloaded from something like Printables or designed by me in Onshape on a free account.
Orthotics are a scam. Consider just not using them. It is outdated thinking.
I highly recommend Kiri engine over polycam cause Kiri engine has ai so you don't get holes in your scans
Thanks for doing this. I do think the iPhone one will ultimately win and get better and better. the reason is that the cpu power is incredible and getting better in the iPhones. The hardware is set and consistent, so many developers can and will create software for it and things like clipping out unwanted objects should become very easy to do with the built in software over time. Thus having the device with you at all time, not having to paint stuff white, and getting constant hardware upgrades will cause it to "win". Even now there are multiple generations of iPhones with LiDar. I suspect this will become more common, even on lower end models over the years to come.
"Welcome to The Next Layer, where everything is 3D printed and points don't matter!". ;)
LOL Truth
אתה מישראל! מגניב
חחח
dude are you in the lizard group? tutorials should be inside, a lot of revo point users and lizard users there so far i think lizard is the go to, the software is indeed not intuitive but just a few tutorials you'll be scanning precise and detailed parts vs the revo. My revo cant even scan big parts unlike the lizard. But good to see your opinion about these products.
Wow, really? I'm not in the group... but what did I miss? I wonder what I did wrong...?
couldn't make it through the video too much talking get to the point I WANT TO KNOW WHICH ONE TO BUY
So in short, 3d scanners are still useless.
Please don't waste your time on these scanners. Einstar is miles ahead of both and only cost a little bit more.
I have tested both scanners and the revpoint is actually getin less acuracy then the scan lizzard.
I have scanned full 2meter high statue down to guitar pick.
Agree software for crealitys auto align work so so but if you align manualy its amazing.
Revpoints software for me is worse.
Looks just like you like the revpoint more.
To biased video
Ok! Yes you need a 3D scanner! Point!
Great video, as always. Have you tried the old Xbox 360 camera to do 3d scanning? Just curious how well it works.
Afriad not :(
I truely hope the iphone 15 improves thier lidar a huge amount
Thanks for the review. Very informative.
Why not put the real cost of an iPhone?
Not everyone is an apple Fanboi and many of use just have a cheap mobile phone that works, so would be getting a new iPhone just for this.
Yay, the analytics know I exist
There you are! Glad you’re here
No new video of „Prusa we need to talk….about the MK4“? Oh we have to wait untill the Bambulab money will arrive!
I will start writing that video today ;)
And I ordered the Prusa MK4... so you can expect a full review.
But also, I released a short sharing how impressed I am
This has just been done to me by people I thought were friends and a family shining what looked like a purple light into my home after my nephew and his friend took “dimensions” and got me to ask for “holiday photos” and “song titles” . I’ve had them attempt to extract crypto, dupe me with a cloned feed and tried to dupe a horrific attempt at making people think I’m a wrong’un, you can hear the pips of purple hue it’s fucked, destroying lives!
Hey. Like your stuff but find the camera changes cheesy and unnecessary in this video also other might like the cheesy winner type cuts but imo id drop it. Keep on being awesome and thanks for your content. ]
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. I tried to make this video a little different / entertaining b/c my audience doesn't really respond to non-3D printing stuff, but I'll cut the cheesey stuff next time, it's a LOT of work for something you don't like ;)
@@thenextlayer Your stuff is great and the quality and thought that goes into your videos is what I appreciate. However, I am just some random and dont want to come across as a hater or discourage you from trying stuff out. Have fun and than you for the great content!
so the much newer and more expensive scanner wins 🙀
Great video, but for real, Using an Iphone and a mac? you have to be used to software just not being compatible with your devices by now. you should buy a basic Lenovo laptop running windows just for your reviews to test the different version of the software on both.
HECK NO! No Microsoft products in my house ;)
@@thenextlayer lol, I don't mean to use or god forbid let your kids near. Just for basic testing of software that comes with products you review. I'm talking a 3-5 year old $150 craigslist purchase running something common like windows 10.The reason i suggest this is because it's normally an entirely different experience usability-wise. Most software that comes with maker products isn't made for Macs.It's adapted to work there.. which lets face it it rarely does well. Just reviewing the Mac software is like just reviewing the made -for-tv movie version of a series. sure they're about the same thing... but the quality just isn't the same. By not even mentioning the windows side of software you're cutting out a very large potential audience of subscribers.
That champion plaque killed your credibility.😁
At 12:40 you say the cost is $799/mo. 😅
Shouldn't have bothered with apple stuff.
None of them are really budget friendly. Is there anything $200 usd or less
What’s up with your Twitter account? I went to follow, and bam no go! Suspended, who’d you make mad!!! 😂 I went looking for the MK4 news.
Lady and gentlemen lmao
Thought you'd like that ;)
ולבי המצלמה שסרקת...אתה רוצה להגיד לי שזה הרזולוצייה הכי גבוהה שיכלת לסרוק? זה לא נסרק כמו במציאות אני רואה...
likely said before in the comments, but no android smart phones have lidar. Apple is currently the only one 😮
too much theater graphics for my taste.
what really sucks is the price of all of these
your logic for the iphone program cost is greatly wrong... its around a thousand dollars for the iphone alone not including the cost of the software.... not everyone is using Apple products or on a cellphone payment plan which means we would be buying the phone out right just for the sole scanning functionality only.
Fair points. Thanks for the comment.
👍🏻
Thanks :)
hmm, the M1 Max is about as quick as a 5900x with a 3060, i,e. a last-gen desktop with meh graphics
Really? In the appleverse it's the best - at least laptop-wise
@@thenextlayer i understand, it's a top-tier laptop chip. it's just an aura that laptop vendors don't want to deflate and apple even less so, but a bleeding-edge laptop usually equals about a mid-to-high tier previous-gen desktop
the problem with apple is they only kept the laptop chips lineup while trying to pretend they're workstations
similarly the M2 Max has about the same power as an Intel 13600 or AMD 7600x, mid-tier current gen CPUs
@@thenextlayer didn't intend to diss the M! at all though, Apple got a nice achievement with their Ms, I just meant this is a complex task analyzing thousands of images to cross-reference millions of spatial points, without dedicated hardware it's still quite the load, is what I meant, i.e. don't be disappointed that the compute task isn't instant
Fair, fair
The M1 processor is NOTHING compared to a dedicated graphics card. the graphics card has WAY MORE processing power than ANY CPU out there. 3D rendering takes a toll on the most advanced PC's and although i love apple, they just cant compare to the latest 40 series GPU's. if i was you i would build a dedicated PC for rendering/ editing/ modeling
Didn't know that, hehe
i have polycam on my android phone
How is it?
