3DFlow met à jour 3DF Zephyr, sa solution de photogrammétrie. Si l’outil est moins populaire en France que d’autres solutions comme Metashape, RealityCapture ou Meshroom, il mérite que l’on s’y interesse, 3DF Zephyr ayant beaucoup progressé ces dernières années.
La version 6 apporte d’ailleurs de nouvelles améliorations en vitesse, qualité de reconstruction. La possibilité de sélectionner la zone d’intérêt du projet est enfin de la partie, de même que de nouveaux outils géométriques, la détection de sphères (utile pour des workflows utilisant des marqueurs physiques sur le lieu de capture). De nouveaux formats de données sont supportés, dont Alembic. Enfin, adieu Lua, place à une console Python.
En parallèle, l’outil 3DF Scarlet (destiné à la gestion des données LiDAR) a droit à un lifting d’interface et des gains en performances.
3DF Zephyr 6 est disponible en version d’essai ; le produit est disponible en plusieurs déclinaisons, du 3DF Zephyr classique (licence perpétuelle ou abonnement) à des versions allégées (dont une gratuite mais limitée à 50 photos par projet)
