PhotoCatch
What it is
PhotoCatch creates 3D models from photos and video, with a desktop app for model creation and editing and a mobile option for on-site capture. The desktop app can use individual photos, video, or a combination of both, and includes texture editing, AR optimization, transform, and crop tools. It exports USDZ and OBJ files; the listed integrations note that USDZ works with AR Quick Look and OBJ is usable in almost any 3D software. PhotoCatch Cloud brings photogrammetry and 3D editing to mobile for capture, editing, and sharing. Its Depth Capture feature is intended to preserve real-world object scale in models. The maker presents PhotoCatch for personal, business, and enterprise use, with applications including AR, VR, construction, real estate, VFX, and online shopping. It is available on iOS and macOS. Desktop use requires macOS 12 Monterey or later and Apple Silicon; some Intel Macs may work with 16 GB RAM and a compatible AMD GPU with 4 GB VRAM. The download is free at no cost. Monthly options are Essentials at $4.99 a month, Pro at $9.99 a month, Small Business at $19.99 a month, and Corporate at $49.99 a month.
