Photogrammetry is a technology that allows you to create 3D models simply from a video recording of the object taken from different angles. This shot is processed to obtain a 3D model of the object in question. Photogrammetry is a widely used technique for creating high-quality 3D models.
The application uses a photogrammetry algorithm to create 3D models (Apple API) starting from a video recording of the object. Simply shoot the object you want from different angles, following the graphic guide that will appear around the object, to obtain a high-quality 3D model in just a few minutes.
The application only works on Apple PRO devices that have a LiDAR camera. Compatible devices:
- iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max
- iPad Pro (fourth generation)
- iPad Pro (fifth generation)
- iPad Pro (sixth generation)
The application works best with small objects, such as design objects, furniture items, fashion items, food and beverages, jewelry, craft products, small archaeological finds (e.g. vases), and objects of cultural value. The application also works with large objects, such as cars, motorcycles, boats, etc., but it may be less accurate.
Photogrammetry is a very effective method for creating high-quality 3D models.
Place your object on a non-reflective and stable surface to avoid unwanted movements. Try to place the object in a place with uniform light to avoid strong shadows and reflections. Shoot the object from different angles to capture all the details, moving around it. To facilitate the correct processing of the 3D model we have inserted a guide in the shape of a disc that highlights which points of the subject have been correctly taken and which instead need a further step. Make sure not to move or move the object. Finally, for the creation of a complete 3D model, you will have the possibility to take a picture of all sides of the object.
3DtoMe will take just over a minute to create the 3D model of the object.
Yes, of course. You can share and export your 3D models through iFrame or by generating a unique QR code, but only if you have a Pro or Corporate subscription. With the Free subscription, you can only download your 3D models in USDZ format.
No, in order to embed the 3D model within your e-commerce or other website, you'll need to subscribe to a Pro or Corporate plan.
Yes, of course. Once the model is created, each user can sell it on dedicated platforms. dilium is not responsible in case of violation of image rights.
Absolutely, viewing 3D models by scanning QR Code or via View AR on website is possible from all devices, so not just Apple.
Yes, you can. The application also works without an internet connection. However, in order to save the 3D model to the cloud and share it, an internet connection is required.
Once you have finished processing your 3D model, you will be sent back to the main menu. In order to view your result you will need to click on the icon next to your project (the green cube) which will allow you to see the 3D model and rotate, enlarge or shrink it to your liking. Also, at the bottom center, there will be an icon. Clicking on it will open the phone's camera, which will load the model into the surrounding space.
The 3DtoMe app was created both for creating 3D models for fun and, more importantly, to meet the needs of businesses to showcase their products in a clearer and more realistic way, allowing customers to make a more informed choice before making a purchase.
In the case of a particularly complex object, it will be necessary to record the video very precisely so that the camera can capture all the details of the object. Otherwise, the application might generate a low-quality model or even fail to generate one. Regarding objects with reflective surfaces, the application might have difficulty creating a quality model.
The application supports USDZ formats for iOS and GLB formats for Android.
A model can weigh from 5 to 20 MB, depending on its size.
The app can mainly be used on mobile devices, but in the case of purchasing a Corporate license, it is possible to get the desktop application extension (MacOS) to manage and edit the 3D models.
3DtoMe is an application that can be used by anyone, both for pure fun and curiosity, and by businesses or commercial activities. Some examples could include:
- e-commerce sites
- industrial designers
- cultural institutions, museums, or archaeologists
- interior designers
- fashion industry
- restaurants, bars, or food delivery companies
- and many more!
Users of 3DtoMe can create an infinite number of 3D models using our application entirely for free. In case they need to share their projects on websites or flyers, they will need to subscribe to a Pro or Corporate plan, which also provide many other functionalities for enriching the models themselves.
No commissions will be charged for transactions made by users/customers when purchasing displayed products. Similarly, no commissions will be charged based on the number of views users make while viewing the 3D models.
No, to view the 3D models simply frame the unique QR Code associated with the model with your device or, from the website, simply click on icon to be able to view the 3D model in your environment thanks to WebAR.
WebAR, i.e. Web-based Augmented Reality, is nothing more than a type of augmented reality that can be used via web rather than through a dedicated app. WebAR adds, when browsing a normal website, a new captivating, rewarding and highly engaging experience for your user.
It works perfectly with every e-commerce platform like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and many others. Using 3D model show the value of products early and speed up the sales cycle and helps you make the shopping experience more compelling and memorable. 3D gives shoppers a true sense of product quality and a store-like experience.
Use the 3DtoMe app to generate the iFrame code for your 3D model. This iframe code includes the 3D model, the style and all the augmented reality features.
Go to your website or your favorite e-commerce platform and paste the iframe code in the right place. Done!
