Introduction:

RealityScan is a revolutionary 3D scanning app that allows you to easily turn real-world objects into ultra-realistic 3D models. Developed by Capturing Reality, a photogrammetry solution developer that is part of the Epic Games family, RealityScan is designed to make 3D scanning accessible to all creators. Capturing Reality has teamed up with Quixel, the creators of Megascans, the world's largest scan library, to bring you a tool that simplifies the process of creating CG models from 3D scans.

With RealityScan, anyone can now create high-fidelity 3D models from real-world objects and use them to enhance the realism of their visualization projects. The app is available for free on iOS devices, and an Android version is set to be released in 2023.


How it works:

Using RealityScan is easy. Simply open the app and follow the prompts to take photos of the object you want to replicate in 3D. The app will then use automated cloud processing to assemble a 3D model of the object. You don't need any prior experience or technical skills to get started, as the app has been designed to be user-friendly for anyone to use.

Once you're happy with the results, you can export your 3D model to Sketchfab, where you can publish, share, and sell 3D, VR, and AR content. You'll also receive a free one-year upgrade to a Sketchfab Pro account when you upload your first model to the platform. From there, you can simply download your model for use in Unreal Engine, Twinmotion, MetaHuman, or any other 3D application.

Take a quick look at this tutorial for more understanding of the process.


Future plans:

RealityScan has big plans for the future, with more features and improvements in store. The app is constantly being updated to provide the best possible experience for users. In addition, an Android version of the app is set to be released in 2023, so even more people will be able to enjoy the benefits of RealityScan.

You can also find RealityScan tutorials and forums in the Epic Developer Community (EDC), where you can join discussions, ask questions, and share your projects with a vibrant community of creators.
