(Pocket-lint) – Epic Games has launched a fun mobile app for creators called RealityScan. Available for iPhone and iPad users, this free app, which was previously available in closed beta, lets you scan objects and things in the world with your phone and then turn them into high-definition 3D models. .
Don’t forget that Epic Games acquired Capturing Reality, a photogrammetry software company. Like the company’s desktop software, RealityScan combines 2D images to create 3D assets that creators can use in graphic design, games, movies, and more. Imagine being able to go anywhere and capture something with your phone that you can then manipulate and upload into a project for your own use.
The video below shows an example of how you can use the RealityScan app:
To use the app, you need an Epic Games account, and you need to take at least 20 photos of an object from all sides. By moving your phone, you will see a real-time map that shows you well-photographed areas with green dots. Anything yellow and red needs more pictures. You can switch between the map and a color rendering. The app uploads and aligns the images in the cloud so you can preview everything in the camera view.

Later, you can crop the image, in order to capture a specific element and not everything around it. Reflective or wet surfaces may not work, and you’ll get better results with larger objects. Once you’re done, you can export it to Epic’s 3D platform, Sketchfab, for use in 3D, VR, and AR projects.
RealityScan is available free for iOS and iPadOS users on the App Store. Epic said an Android version is coming later this year.
