3DF Zephyr Lite Steam Edition Free Download [key Serial Number]

Updated: Mar 15, 2020





















































About This Software 3DF Zephyr allows you to automatically and easily create 3D models from photos.The process is completely automatic and no coded targets, manual editing or special equipments are needed: with a user friendly interface and the possibility to export in many common 3D formats, 3DF Zephyr is the perfect tool for 3D modelling from reality.Steam Edition includes all 4.x updates.Please note that 3DF Zephyr runs only on Microsoft Windows x64 operating systems (Vista and later)FAQs:-------------------------------------------------------------Q: How long does it take to create a 3D reconstruction ?A: this depends on the number of pictures, the resolution of the pictures, the settings used in Zephyr as well as the hardware of your computer! It can take from a few minutes up to even several hours! An example? The dismal statuette used in the video takes about 1 hour on an i7, 8GB ram notebook with a Quadro card. We have a trial version you can use so you can make your own tests before buying, but feel free to contact us if you want some clarifications!-------------------------------------------------------------Q: Which file formats can Zephyr export to?A: Zephyr Lite can export to PLY , OBJ/MTL, FBX* and STL.*Pro and Aerial can also save the Camera orientation in the FBX, although the Lite version can not.-------------------------------------------------------------Q: Does Zephyr support 3D printing out of the box?A: The output, while ready for 3D printing, might need some adjustments in your 3D printer's software.-------------------------------------------------------------Q: Are there limits in 3DF Zephyr Lite, compared to the Pro edition?A: Yes, most notably you'll be limited to 500 pictures per single project (which are a lot!) and up to 2 nVidia cards for GPU processing. For a more in depth feature comparison, feel free to check our website. However, remember that the core technology is the very same.-------------------------------------------------------------Q: How should i take pictures ?A: The better the picture quality, the better the results. Obviously a DSLR camera works better than a phone camera, but you can get results even with reasonably cheap hardware. Please note that reflective and transparent surfaces might be a problem, which sometime can be solved in the way the pictures are shot, and sometimes they can't. In our free tutorials, we tackle this issues and we are always ready to take a look at your dataset if you have doubts. A certain overlap between images is required. 7aa9394dea Title: 3DF Zephyr Lite Steam EditionGenre: Animation & Modeling, Design & Illustration, Video ProductionDeveloper:3Dflow SRLPublisher:3Dflow SRLRelease Date: 2 Feb, 2016 3DF Zephyr Lite Steam Edition Free Download [key Serial Number] 3df zephyr lite steam edition. 3df zephyr lite 2 steam edition Very cool software program...my only concern is that the practice tutorial they give you to do with the little angel statue comes out amazing....but nothing I render of my own photos and objects come out nearly as good.. Absolutely wonderful product.If you're careful about your focal distance not changing and take plenty of pictures, you'll get great results!. EDIT: initially; i left a bad review and I feel bad for neglecting to change it as long as i have.The developers have been very friendly ever since then and I can now HIGHLY recommend this software, due to one key hiiden feature of it: The developer support.If you ever have problems with reconstructing a scene, simply reach out to the devs on their official channels and they are more than happy to help you get the most out of your dataset.. Great value for money, and the limitations are fair enough condsidering the price. Very good quality meshes and camera solves. Settings and workflows are intuitive, and the online help files are clear and explanatory. Helpful support and good forum as well.Would love to be able to export a camera or two, though.. I've been using this to convert my photos to 3D objects to share on facebook. So far it works, the only downside is that each object takes a really long time to process. Hopefully one day the dev team will find a way to optimize the algorithms to process the images faster. Overall I am satisfied with the product and recommend anyone who has an interest in transforming real life images to 3D to give the demo a try.. If you aren't making money with Photogrametry, but you are interested in turning photos \/ videos in to 3D models, then 3DF Zephyr should probably where you start. There are open source tools available if that is important to you, but setup time and quality of the results vary widely. The free (limit of 50 photos per model) and lite (available here on Steam for a reasonable price) versions of 3DF Zephyr compete with more expensive (outright purchase cost or monthly subscription) products in the market. The free edition on their website lets you use 50 photos, you can get a good feel for the software with it. This lite version on steam increases the limit to 500 which allows for some excellent results with high details. These versions have limitations, but Pro and Aerial features trickle down as they see fit. I'd love to see control points at the lite level, if my photoset isn't working out of the box, I'm kind of SOL with it. Overall you have little or nothing to lose by trying this product out.. This software is amazing. The power that it has is incredible. I am barely scratching the surface but am very impressed. Perhaps more amazing than the software itself is the support. By simply asking a question about why my images weren't working, the developer has taken my images and looked at them and helped me create something awesome....three times, with 3 subjects. I recommend this for sure. I'm looking forward to trying my first human model soon.. I cannot recommend this software. Superior alternatives are available. I wanted this software to be good (not least because I spent money on it) but after comparing its processing times and the quality of output with other available softwares (namely, Reality Capture) it falls far short.Example. Yesterday I visited a ruined castle, stood in one area and captured 700 photographs. I return home and plug 500 of those photographs into 3DF Zephyr Lite (I cannot import all 700 photos because of the 500 limit in Lite). I run the software through all the stages (reconstruction, point cloud, tri mesh, textured mesh) on the 'fast' setting, it takes a few hours to process and returns a model that is warped, wrong, and generally rubbish.So I run the process again but for each of the stages change the setting to 'high detail'. I have to leave this running overnight (because it takes blooming ages) and during these many hours 3DF Zephyr Lite is using 90% of my CPU. This morning I checked the final product - after setting everything to high and the whole process taking up my computer for 8+ hours - and while the final mesh looks more like reality than the initial attempt, the mesh is still warped, bumpy, and in general a bit naff. No where near the quality of mesh that e.g. could be used in a VR experience.Out of interest I download the demo of Reality Capture (from the website; haven't tried the Steam version). Into the demo I plug in the 700 photos (no 500 limit). I follow the tutorial instructions that are integrated into the user interface, and IN LESS THAN 20 blooming MINUTES the software has returned an untextured point cloud\/mesh with geometry that looks VERY MUCH like its real world counterpart (no warped, bumpy, naff bits).At that point I closed down the RC demo, came here to write this review, and am about to uninstall (and never come back to) 3DF Zephyr Lite. Reality Capture achieved in less than 30 minutes what 3DF Zephyr Lite failed to come close to in 12 hours.As I said, I wanted 3DF Zephyr to be good, I want to be able to recommend this software, but I cannot do so in good conscience.
