Free 30 day trial does not give you anything to trial apart from the test environment supplied… in my short lived experience with this app.

This is what happens when MBA losers get their hooks into creative companies and don’t listen to the creatives. They LOSE BUSINESS. BUH BYE AUTODESK! You almost had me, but BUH BYE!

In reply to jg. No. But that would such a big project that the price of the software is the least of your worries :-)

In reply to Geoff.

Very interesting. Thanks Geoff. I’ll add it to the post for other to read.

Although I do like companies that are constantly innovating, I have troubles with Autodesk’s software strategies for their Photogrammetry tools. Professionals require software to be supported for many years to be able to implement them into their workflows.

Actually, the origin of ReCap can be traced to a little hands-on photogrammetry program I used to use a lot back in the early 2000s called RealViz Image Modeler. Autodesk acquired RealViz 10 years ago, and for a while sold Image Modeler and Match Mover. A couple years later they came out with the free “Project Photofly,” which was Image Modeler with automatic cloud-based photogrammetry added. Then it became 123D Catch for a few years -and it still retained the ability to open RealViz Image Modeler files. They discontinued 123D Catch 2 years ago to make way for ReMake, and now ReCap.

Just thought you’d be interested.

In reply to Entwickler. I actually never heard of it! But now I have and I've put it on my list to check out. Thanks for the tip.

In reply to Matthew. Luckily there are many good alternatives.

Zyphyr is not the only free option. There’s Visual SFM, which is free and open source. I made a tutorial on it.
