#Polycam
There is a Reddit user who made went 🏺 to the Met and polycam 3D scanned various Greek amphorae. Now they are making one to scale completely out of gingerbread. This is truly delectable reconstructive archaeology. www.reddit.com/r/blender/s/... Greeks did love imported ζιγγίβερις from India!

¡Realmente no! Lo hicimos con la aplicación Polycam, que es un escaner (que es de Epic), lo limpiamos un poco en Blender y lo importamos en Unreal para que a partir de esa cara hiciera el personaje.

El problema es que a veces no te coge todo y que la malla es un desastre, pero me imagino que+

There is this one little visual detail that I can't get over in Zero Company and it's the holograms of the mission locations whenever you're in a briefing cutscene. They really specifically evoke the kind of low detail 3d photogrammetry scan you might get from something like the app Polycam.

I went here on a trip three years ago and tried to make a scan of the inside using Polycam! Sadly, it didn't quite develop still an incredible location!

The avatar on the site is a real version of me, not AI.

My wife scanned my body with an app called Polycam. She took ~300 photos of me from different angles.

Then I imported the file into Blender and used their MCP to connect with Codex. It did its magic to display it in HTML using three.js.

Polycam: $19.99/sketch. DocuSketch: needs a $300 camera. Hover: $29-89 per room. ClaimNorth: $99/month flat, any iPhone. The iPhone-to-Xactimate market now has 5 paths. Only one combines flat-rate pricing with zero hardware requirements. Volume adjusters, do the math.

Polycam now offers Xactimate ESX export at 9.99/sketch via Verisk TPI. The market is validating the thesis: iPhone walkthrough → Xactimate estimate — no K camera. Multiple players entering means the model works. 📱→📐 #xactimate #propertyclaims

Polycam now exports ESX to Xactimate. Encircle added AI scope generation. The market is converging: every claims tool is adding AI. The gap that remains: 3D scene understanding + AI damage detection. iPhone video → splat → estimate in minutes. Not just scanning. Understanding.

Polycam launched ESX export to Xactimate. Consumer 3D scanning app now targeting adjusters. Smart — the market is real. But no AI damage detection, no damage intelligence, no claims-specific pipeline. The gap between scanning and understanding is where ClaimNorth operates.

Wanna see my #3DGS #GaussianSplat library? I just consolidated every decent scan I've ever done across all platforms #LichtFeldStudio #Scaniverse #LumaAI #Polycam and uploaded them to #SuperSplat covering ~2.5yrs of going progressively deeper down the rabbit hole. Enjoy!

Every 'Gaussian Splatting tools' comparison misses the same thing: what happens AFTER the splat. Polycam, Scaniverse, Luma — all stop at capture. ClaimNorth takes it further: 3D scene → AI damage detection → Xactimate estimate. That's the pipeline adjusters actually need. #insurtech #propertyclaims

撮影メインでは無いけれどPolycamと言う3Dスキャナアプリ使うと角柱だけど似たようなことは出来るみたい。
あと、サイズ指定出来るかは別にしても構図決めや測定用にメッシュスケール表示出来る写真アプリは多いと思う。
3dパーススケール付与はクリスタ等で出来そう。
ただ、3dパース補正や樽形収差補正、糸巻き収差補正はいたずらするには楽しいけれど絵描きさんは手癖や感覚でやった方が違和感感じないで済むと思います。
製図ではお約束で通るけど、人物画で2点透視とか真面目にやると感覚に合わなくてかなりモヤモヤするはず

I have spent 5 hours now learning how to optimize a Polycam mesh in Blender so that Three.js doesn’t crash the tab

I've been using Polycam since it lets me use my phone's Lidar for free without needing to pay for processing like most of the other apps.

It's pretty decent all things considered, even if I'm usually going exceptionally fast and loose bcs I feel awkward scanning in public

Lidar supported photogrammetry! The iPhone can do it, get a 3d model with high quality textures and everything. Scaniverse worked best for me, but Pix4D and PolyCam would also work. I’m sure there are others.

It’s fine for smaller objects scanned with handheld phone lidar. I found it consistently produced a better detailed scan with less mesh and texture mistakes than the more expensive Polycam 3D. It’s not professional level quality though. It has a good range of export formats & basic editing tools

I find it a bit hit and miss with both Polycam and Scaniverse. Sometimes you get a perfect scan and at other times it will distort the surface. Scanning with plenty of light & a lack of shadows makes a big difference & trying to not scan a surface with too much overlap.
February 10, 2024 at 11:41 AM
Scaniverse is what I used. I heard better things of Polycam, but I think I missed something and wasn't able to get that one going in the few minutes I gave it.
December 7, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Yes, there are apps. Give Polycam a try. From what I hear, it's a bit of fussing to get something usable out of any of them, but I've seen people do it.

In any case, enjoy the printer!
