Proximap

What Proximap is

Proximap is free, open-source desktop software for reconstructing 3D models from photographs. Its wizard packages Structure-from-Motion and multi-view stereo texturing workflows, integrating COLMAP for camera tracking and OpenMVS for dense point clouds, meshing, and texturing. Processing is local: datasets, work in progress, and generated meshes remain on the machine, according to the site. The software can use discrete GPUs, multithreaded CPUs, and integrated graphics. It monitors available RAM and can reduce asset sizes and limit concurrent background threads under heavy load. Reconstructed models can be exported or shared in the Proximap gallery. The software is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and is described as intended for creators, hobbyists, and digital archivists. Windows downloads support 64-bit Windows 10 and 11; the download page recommends 8 GB RAM, an Intel Core i5 8th Gen or newer, and Intel HD Graphics 630 or newer. macOS support covers Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 and Intel Macs, with native Metal API integrations. Linux options include packages and portable archives for several distributions, plus build-from-source scripts.
