This is Changing 3D Scanning!!

3D scanning is one of the hardest subjects in 3D right now one Peak at the industry and you can see the 3D scanning along with photogrammetry are getting more and more attention every single day with the market heading more and more towards artificial intelligence and augmented reality more and more tools hardware and apps are making these Technologies even more accessible than ever one of these tools for 3D scanning and AR technology is Kiri engine we actually reviewed here engine a while back as a great alternative to the iPhone 3D scanning apps such as polycam but with care being available for Android as well not only that because QR supports for grammatory as well if you don't have the hardware necessary for Real Time 3D scanning so in this version there is a new feature that I am personally really interested in which is virtual scanning using Nerf technology or more specifically a newly emerging technique called norlandulo we actually made a video last week about Nerf technology and how it works you can check the video if you want to learn about it but some of you guys left comments like Nerf is never gonna be replacing photogrammetry but neurological will well technology advances so quickly nowadays and Kiri engine already has the neurological technology now it is in fact the only app you can try neurological with right now on both iPhone and Android phones but essentially Nerf tries to mitigate some of the shortcomings of photogrammetry but it's not perfect and also has some shortcomings of its own one of the shortcomings is that Nerf doesn't generate great mesh qualities like photogrammetry does but fortunately that is likely gonna be changed with the Kiri engine's futural scan and the norlandulo so when I heard about hearing engine implementing this featureless feature I was pretty ecstatic to try it myself as I recently suffered with a 3D scanner and the limitations of being unable to scan reflective surfaces or black colors and so on so recently they reached out again to tell us about the new things and the features of carry engine that have been made in the last few months which we'll be discussing in today's video so through this canning what is it I know most of you guys watching this video understand what 3D scanning is still in simple terms 3D scanning or photogrammetry in this case is a method of converting to the images into a three-dimensional model which will be later used in a plethora of different use cases like entertainment projects such as game development and VFX for movies in addition to maybe arcvice the medical field engineering and much more because the sky is gonna be the limit now if you've ever seen a game character in a triple A video game or movie you can be sure that some level of 3D scanning or photogrammetry took place because it is a common thing to do these days let's you name a few new in The Matrix Call of Duty quite in the msgs and more a recent example is Paul Walker in the last Fast and Furious movies and yes I said last because that should have been the end of the series well depending on how you look at it maybe it was after all Curie engine actually offers multiple ways of turning your environment into detail through the objects the first one is of course traditional photography and photogrammetry as the name suggests involves taking photos of the object or environment that you want to capture in 3D photography can usually capture highly detailed geometry the mesh itself and texture quality are usually great however a limitation of photogrammetry is that it requires distinct features in an image of an object such as changes in color or shape like crevices to create a complete shape the new neurological technology appears to be capable of overcoming the drawback by not relying on such features and it also produces decent meshes of the surfaces for example things that are rich in textures have tons of feature points but it doesn't just have to be colors any details can be used as feature points so Auto geometry relies on those feature points to be able to generate a coherent Point Cloud which in turn can be converted into a 3D object on the other hand when an object doesn't have many feature points like an object with one color or something transparent or translucent maybe or something extremely reflective the photogrammetry most often than not probably won't work this is the case because there aren't many details that the photogrammetry algorithm could latch onto to connect all the photos so no point Cloud no 3D model no bueno in fact you can try this yourself you can download Kiri engine right now completely for free from the link Down Below in the description and it is compatible with both Android and iPhones now let's talk about nerve and Orlando since we understand the pros and cons of photogrammetry Nerf actually stands for neural Radiance field which is a new machine learning technology that uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct an entire 3D scene from a setup to the images or a video and the amazing thing about nerve is that it can reconstruct scenes and objects that don't have enough feature points for photogrammetry which is the most impressive thing at least for me as it doesn't use the same techniques as photography but rather uses AI to learn and generate and reconstruct the 3D models but an Orlando is another level from Nerf it not only generates neural rendered scenes like nerve but also produces a great match of the object but actually usable in a 3D software like blender and other software the relangelo is one of the most recent research papers published by Nvidia it has always been researched but not many companies were trying to make it into an actual product luckily quiri engine is the first and they made it available to both iPhone and Android phones so to use the feature release feature on carry engine is click the big plus button in the middle and you will notice a new featureless Option click on that and prepare to start scanning instead of taking photos you'll be recording a video so align your object to the camera and start the video recording now circle around the object that you want to 3D scan while trying to be as steady as possible so take your time and don't rush and just try to be consistent and try performing the scan in different layers from top middle and bottom the rest is just submitting your video to the cloud and waiting for the result on a side note kiwi engine does limit the length of the video to only 2 minutes due to and I quote server limitation purposes end quote so take that as you will but two minutes should be more done enough to scan your object also the processing time might be slightly longer than photogrammetry being a new feature and more optimization is on the way now the question that is in everyone's Minds right now is is Nerf gonna replace photogrammetry and the answer is no in our last Nerf vs photo amateur video some of you guys suggested that Nerf 1 would be replacing photogrammetry but neurological will and I would say this is very true north just can't handle high quality 3D models and high quality textures that would be viable for a typical 3D Pipeline on the other hand the Orlando and Orlando 2.0 will probably be a stronger Contender when it comes to replacing photography as they address most of these shortcomings of both nerve by Cloud quality and photogrammetries well photogrammetry and wouldn't you know it the algorithm behind the featureless object mode in Kiri engine is actually based on Orlando which makes it really really powerful actually if you want to see more about this new emerging technology let us know in the comments section below of this video obviously there is more takiri engine than just the featureless mode like the web app the access Library the ability to create a floor plane in app editing texture toning and much more but if you like what you see and you want to try carry engine for free right now you can follow the link in the description down below also did you know that only 10 percent of you guys watching this video are subscribed so please do me a favor and click on the button I hope you guys found this video useful and informative if you did please give it a thumbs up you can also check some of our previous videos thank you very much for watching and I will see you in the next one
