Epic Games has announced a new smartphone app that can construct 3D models of objects from a series of smartphone photos. The idea is that you\u2019ll be able to use the app, called RealityScan<\/a>, to scan an object in the real world \u2014 say, a chair \u2014 and then bring the scan of that object into your game or project. <\/p>\n

You can see how it works in the video<\/a> at the top of this post, which features somebody scanning a brown chair, the result of which looks like a handcrafted 3D model. The app is currently available in a first-come, first-served beta via Apple\u2019s TestFlight platform that will be open to 10,000 users. <\/p>\n

I got into the RealityScan beta, and using the app is pretty straightforward. To take a series of photos, you can hold the capture button down or take the shots individually, and as you do, you\u2019ll want to slowly move around the object to take various shots. The app asks that you take at least 20 images. Once you\u2019re done scanning, you can send the model to be uploaded to Sketchfab, a 3D-modeling platform, and after a few minutes, you\u2019ll be able to see the scan you\u2019ve taken on the site. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the two separate scans I took of my desk chair weren\u2019t quite<\/em> as good-looking as the chair Epic is featuring in its marketing:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

While my RealityScan models might look more like abstract art than believable 3D models, there could be any number of reasons why they weren\u2019t up to par. Perhaps my iPhone 12 mini\u2019s cameras aren\u2019t good enough. Maybe I wasn\u2019t in a well-lit room. I may not have taken enough scans or didn\u2019t get the correct angles. And the app is launching in a limited beta, so Epic will presumably continue to iterate up to the app\u2019s official release.<\/p>\n

I still think the app has a lot of promise, as it could be a really useful tool to quickly create 3D models using just your smartphone. An early access release on iOS is set for spring, and an Android version of the app is set to be released later this year.<\/p>\n

And this isn\u2019t the only developer tool news we\u2019ll get from Epic this week; the company is hosting a \u201cState of Unreal\u201d event<\/a> on Tuesday, April 5th, at 11AM ET. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
