What RealityScan is

RealityScan turns images and laser scans into detailed 3D models using photogrammetry. Its desktop software provides a pipeline for producing photorealistic models and point clouds, with tools for cleanup, optimization, image layers, worldbuilding workflows and automation. The mobile app offers real-time point-cloud feedback, automatic capture, augmented-reality scaling, camera controls and masking. Processed mobile models can be uploaded to Sketchfab or exported to the device for use in other 3D software. RealityScan Mobile is free on iOS and Android. Desktop installation requires the Epic Games Launcher and an Epic Games account; listed systems include 64-bit Windows 8/8.1/10/11 or Windows Server 2008+, and Ubuntu 24.04 or Fedora 39. Individuals and small businesses below $1 million USD in revenue in the previous 12 months, educational institutions and students can use the full-featured product for free. Other eligible seats cost $1,250 a year and include updates for one year. A 30-day trial is available. Tutorials, guides, documentation, sample datasets and community forums are provided. The EULA says Epic’s Privacy Policy also governs use, and sample datasets are for non-commercial use only.
