You can compare all feature from the different versions here. If you do have a somewhat decent system or patience, it’s good to know that while ReMake’s free version is limited to its Standard quality, you can get more details out of the same photo set 3DF Zephyr Free. An Nvidia GPU is especially helpful since some algorithms are greatly accelerated by CUDA. Needless to say that if you want to do photogrammetry locally, and value your time, you’d better get something more serious. While latter does offers only cloud processing, Zephyr Free can run locally on almost any Windows system with a DirectX 9+ compatible video card. With a 50-photo limit, it directly competes with the free version of Autodesk ReMake. Recently, 3Dflow also introduced a completely Free version of Zephyr. That’s also true if you want to combine photogrammetry with data acquired from laser scanning.īut that’s not all. If you need more photos or want to leverage more GPUs, you’ll need Pro. I won’t cover the Aerial version in this review and I think that the Lite version will suit most readers as it offers up to 500 photos and dual GPU support. You can also get the Lite version through Steam. These are all perpetual license prices so there are no subscription costs like with Realit圜apture and ReMake.

There are 3 paid versions of 3DF Zephyr: $149 Lite, $3200 Pro, $4200 Aerial. It’s developed by Italian company 3Dflow that was established in 2011, and has just been updated to version 3.3 which I’m using for this review. Next up in my series of professional photogrammetry software reviews - after Autodesk ReMake, Agisoft PhotoScan and Realit圜apture - is 3DF Zephyr. Bellus3D Face Camera Pro (IR Sensor, Android).The obtained solution is in all probability the most accurate, completely automatic, best engineered multiview-stereo algorithm available on the market. Here in 3Dflow, we worked hard to build up both the core technologies and the user interface. Furthermore, 3DF Zephyr has a lot of advances functionalities, and you can, for example, edit your models, create true orthophotos, digital elevation models (DTM), manage laser scan data and calculate areas, volumes, angles, contour lines, and much more. 3DF Zephyr comes with a user-friendly interface, and the possibility to export in many common 3D formats or even to generate lossless video without the need for external tools.

3DF Zephyr is built on top of our proprietary, cutting-edge, reconstruction technology. The process is entirely automatic, and no coded targets, manual editing or special equipment are needed. 3DF Zephyr allows you to reconstruct 3D models from photos automatically.
