Engineers in need of reality modeling software to create 3D models from simple photographs or point clouds
About ContextCapture
Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions. Overlapping photos from drones and ground-level imagery, supplemented by laser scans where needed.

ReCap Pro
Reality capture software connecting the physical world to the digital. Use ReCap™ Pro 3D scanning software to create 3D models from imported photographs and laser scans. Deliver a point cloud or mesh in support of BIM processes. Collaborate across teams with design based on reality. ReCap Photo, a service included with ReCap Pro, processes drone photography to create 3D representations of current site conditions, objects, and more. It also supports the creation of point clouds, meshes, and ortho photos. Use solutions created with the ReCap Pro Software Development Kit (SDK) to quickly get reality data into Autodesk design and construction tools. Compare the scan view (RealView) and overhead map view side-by-side. Use the compass widget to set the XY axis for the user coordinate system in the overhead view. Use high-precision GPS technology to avoid costly prep work in setting ground control points and get survey-grade accuracy from photo reconstruction.

RealityCapture
RealityCapture is a general-purpose fully-featured photogrammetry software for creating virtual reality scenes, textured 3D meshes, orthographic projections and much more from images and/or laser scans completely automatically. RealityCapture is the state-of-the-art photogrammetry software solution that is changing the industry. It is currently the fastest solution on the market, which brings effectivity to your work and allows you to focus on your targets. Create virtual reality scenes, textured 3D meshes, orthographic projections, geo-referenced maps and much more from images and/or laser scans completely automatically. For architects it is important to visualize the design of a house or building in its future setting, not just in isolation. This may serve for attractive presentation but also for verifying relationships in a real context or for presentation of the output to the client, who immediately gets an idea of the result.
