1.6.2 25/02/2025
RealityScan 1.6 is now available.
What's new:
New Scanning Modes
There are two scanning modes you can start your projects with now.
The default configuration is set to always ask which mode you would like to start a project with - you can change the default mode in Settings.
- Augmented Reality Mode
This is the original mode of RealityScan. It provides a real-time point cloud and displays camera positions to guide you during the scanning process. However, in this mode, camera settings cannot be adjusted.
- Camera Control Mode
This new mode offers full manual control over your camera settings, allowing you to adjust focus, shutter speed, ISO values, white balance and flash.
However, note that this mode does not include the real-time point cloud or camera position overlay. Here’s how each feature works:
- Focus and Shutter Speed: Manually adjust focus or shutter speed using the sliders. Alternatively, tap on the screen to select an area, then press the lock icon to fix the focus or exposure (shutter speed + ISO) for that area.
- White Balance: Adjust the color temperature by using a reference card (gray or white is recommended for better accuracy). Confirm the adjustment to set the white balance.
- Flash: You can turn the flash on or off while capturing images. For consistency, it’s best to keep the flash either on or off throughout the entire scanning session. Flash is particularly useful for evenly lighting your subject or separating it from the background.
By choosing the appropriate mode, you can tailor your scanning experience to match your needs whether you prefer real-time guidance or advanced manual controls for precision photogrammetry.
New Processing Options Panel
The new Processing Options Panel provides a clearer overview of your project and offers additional customization options for processing.
Here's what you can do:
- Picture Thumbnails
View a quick preview of the photos you’ve captured for your project.
- Mesh Resolution
Choose between two resolution settings for your 3D model:
Normal: Generates a mesh with up to 100,000 polygons.
High: Generates a mesh with up to 1 million polygons.
- Mesh Filtering
Refine the appearance of your mesh by selecting one of these filtering options:
Smooth: Creates a more uniform and polished mesh surface.
Detailed: Produces a rugged and intricate mesh, ideal for objects with fine details.
- Maximum Texture Resolution
Select the highest resolution for your model's texture:
4K: Standard high resolution for most use cases.
8K: Ultra-high resolution for detailed textures and close-up visual fidelity.
Remember: texture sharpness directly depends on the quality of your photos.
Ensure that all your pictures are sharp and free of blur to achieve the best results.

1.5.1 26/07/2024
What’s New
- Download your 3D files to your device
Note that projects created in previous versions will need to be processed again before you can visualize and download them in the app. (Models you already shared on Sketchfab remain unchanged.)
- Optional sharing on Sketchfab
- Faster and more efficient cropping
- Redesigned project list
- Seamless switch between automatic and manual capture
- Image count in gallery
- Photo export from gallery
- Scanning quick start guide
- Changes to the application:
To streamline the scanning workflow, the preview mesh has been removed. Previously, this step caused confusion as it wasn’t an accurate display of the model and delays due to internet connection issues and model complexity. Now, simply take your pictures, optionally set the scan area, and hit “Process Now” to process and download your model or upload it to Sketchfab.
Bugs Fixed:
- Fixed an issue where photos did not upload after leaving the device idle for a while.
- Fixed an inconsistency between crop UI, shading, and result.

- Fixed Unexpected state error - Finalization failed - when switching from offline mode and sending for processing.
Known bugs:
- Some projects remain stuck while submitting to Sketchfab.
Workaround: Restart the app and submit to Sketchfab again.
- Back button in the Crop 3D model screen applies the crop to the model.

1.4.1 06/03/2024
What’s New:
- New Cropping Experience
It’s now easier to achieve precise control over the processing volume, which ensures that your model only contains the parts of the scan area that you need.
Quickly switch between fixed 2D views of your subject, and drag the boundary lines into place.
- Cleaner final meshes
RealityScan automatically filters out unwanted artifacts like floating triangles and small mesh fragments.
- Improved UVs
RealityScan now lays out the UV maps it creates more uniformly, which can improve visual results for texture rendering and lighting in 3D tools.
- Categories and tags
You can now set categories and tags for your models in the RealityScan app before you share them to Sketchfab.
This makes your models easier to search and find on the Sketchfab site.
- New tutorial slides
On first use of the app, a short slideshow illustrates the overall scanning process and what qualities make for good and bad subjects.
(You can still see the previous video by going to Settings > View Tutorial.)
- Processing now requires at least 20 photos
This prevents accidental submissions that might not succeed.
- What’s new & update notifications
The RealityScan app now shows the list of recent changes the first time you launch it after upgrading.
It also alerts you when there is an updated version available.
Bugs Fixed:
-
The "Update Preview Model" button incorrectly appeared when users navigated back from the Process & Export screen.

1.3.1 14/12/2023
Auto-Capture
Tap the capture button once to enter auto-capture mode, which takes photos for you automatically as you move around the subject.
UI/UX Improvements
Improved viewer navigation, including helpful guidance for first-time users and a new layout for viewer actions in Capture view.
Improved automated cropbox
When you send your model for processing without cropping the preview first, the default model you will get will by be better cropped than before, with less of its surroundings included in the scan.
Unguided mode
Turning Live Guidance off in Settings will let the user skip uploading photos with live processing and getting live guidance (like real-time point cloud and model preview) during the capture, while still allowing to send scans for processing easily once finished. This replaces the previous Offline Mode option, and allows for a more streamlined workflow if you feel you don’t need guidance.
Advanced navigation viewport controls
Two-fingers panning and a new reset view option to recenter the model in the viewer.
1.3.0 01/12/2023
RealityScan 1.2 is now available.
What’s New
