Abound - 3D Scanner

After the exploring all the 3D capture apps I could, a few years back when the iPhone 13pro came out, I decided that Metascan produced the best results. Since then I’ve happily purchased the app for a few years now, with only one snag being that if the subject is quite large, (such as a fishing trawler, or railway station) the photogrammetry output is sometimes reduced in scale. Presumably this is a limitation which many people will not run into and I have always found the LiDAR based outputs to be to scale and with only a few cm error when using the measurement tool. Also I found opening the output scans in Blender was a good idea for cleaning up “blobs” which sometimes occur when capturing with LiDAR. Recently Polycam have upped their game and I may well start using their app as well, mainly for the floor plan outputs which Metascan are yet to make part of their offering. If you are looking for an excellent app to start your 3D capture journey, you can’t go wrong with Metascan and hopefully the app developers will soon bring out some new features, such floor plans, to bring it up to par with its competitors, making it a very powerful tool. Thank you Metascan, I have enjoyed this app a lot!

App does not open, what’s the point in paying a subscription if I can’t use the app!!

Just say I need a phone like iPhone 12. Is there something wrong with the iPhone 15 pro max lidar?

Does not seem to work with Lidar with my iPhone 15 Pro

I think this app holds up to the standards of Unreal Reality Capture. I’ve completed scans on a phone that doesn’t have LiDAR that genuinely surprises people when I tell them it was originally scanned on an app they haven’t heard of using an average phone. Truly great job guys. I’ll continue to spread the word about this app

Very friendly

Metascan has allowed me to take home entire cathedrals, thatched cottages, standing stones. These have been very clean meshes and processed in minutes. The details of all of my scans with this app have made it my go to for photogrammetry and LiDAR and more recently I have tested the Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) processing with astonishment at the photorealistic results. I can’t say if it’s available outside beta atm. The developer is friendly and quick to help with technical details too. You can’t go wrong with any of this apps capture modes.

This app basically does what it is supposed to do. Working with 3D graphics can be painfully slow and complicated but this works fast and intuitively. At the very least it is a great introduction to the capablitites of the LiDAR Scanner

If your looking to start in learning photogrammetry this app help you to get the basics

I have purchased the app, a very good product however it won’t recognise the pro purchase and states failed to retrieve…. The money has come out of the count
