i think your best bet is using something like agisoft or image modeller for the build, and then Mari for the texture re-projection/paint of 32 bit images

Sorry, but those don't really answer my questions. The review just talks about laser scans and cloud generated point clouds, nothing about manually working with images. And the helpfiles don't even mention Recap Pro. Like in my original post, I'm just looking for a ImageModeler alike program that can deal with 32bit files. But after a fruitless day of searching, there seems nothing out there that can do environment rebuilding by hand based on photo's or panos. And I don't really care for a 450,-/month subscription package for stuff like this.

You can use one without the other, if you wish to. ReCap Pro is a standalone desktop application that allows you to work with scan data, from whatever source - photo or laser. If you have scan data in a supported format, you can import it. ReCap 360 is the cloud platform for viewing and sharing data published from ReCap Pro. Within 360 there's also ReCap Photo which is Autodesk's own photogrammetry service.

Cloud based first steps? Really? So Recap Pro on the desktop is useless, unless you go through the upload to cloud session first? Or am I mistaken? The website on Recap isn't the most helpful....

ReCap Photo is the pro version and offers greater flexibility. Essentially it's all cloud based, so you get your pictures upload them to our cloud, and then run ReCap photo, you can make tweaks and target points to improve the accuracy. Meshes can be generated in formats such as FBX (of course), OBJ, DXF, etc. You can then take them into ReCap Pro, which is a standalone desktop application for viewing scan data. You can then make various edits etc before them exporting your data. ReCap pro can also import scan data from other sources.

Image modeller is very precise, 123d catch and the rest may be fine but it is not the very accurate modelling you are used with IM... I really think are two different things altogether.

Something I can use to (re)create a scene from a HDRI panorama or set of stills, and being able to project the HDRI image back on top of the geo. After that export to FBX or alike and import into Softimage. Unfortunately 16bit is the best you get with ImageModeler. It's too bad the app is dead now..... :-\ So.... Tips and links appreciated. P.S. I know about Nuke's 8 new modeling tools, but that's a bit on the expensive side, same with Mari ;-) -- cheers, Rob \/-------------\/----------------\/ ----- No virus found in this message.
