Generate 3D meshes from scan data or photogrammetry
Previously available as an Autodesk Labs tech preview, Memento fills a gap between Autodesk’s consumer photogrammetry and mesh-editing apps like 123D Catch and its high-end ReCap reality-capture system.Īlthough the company is targeting Memento at a wide range of users, including fine artists, the Etsy community, researchers and museum curators, it has obvious applications in the entertainment industry.Īutodesk tells us that the software is currently being trialled at “all the usual suspects” – that is, the major VFX studios – as a possible means of reconstructing props and sets. A Mac version will become available in late March, with interactive 3D publishing on the Web to follow.Autodesk has launched Memento: a new professional-grade tool for converting photos or scan data of real-world objects into 3D meshes, then cleaning and optimising those meshes for export or 3D printing.įilling the gap between 123D Catch and ReCap Memento is currently available as a cloud-connected desktop app on the Windows platform. Autodesk will soon open an online gallery that stores 3D digitzed models, which can be shared interactively, export Filebox content with cameras that allow graphic artists to better alter the texture of the digitized models, view of the photo camera positions in 3D space, and more robust photo processing capabilities. The beta release includes a new website with educational resources and use cases. Memento’s key feature, according to Autodesk, is that it doesn't require users to be CAD experts.
It could prove especially useful to architects, who could use the program to create digital models, 3D print any captured or modeled data without forced downsizing, or use captured reality as inspiration to start new designs. This can be used to model anything from buildings to products and small parts for prototyping.
Autodesk is marketing the software to a variety of sectors, including media, medical, engineering, and industrial.
