Key features:
- Scanning Performance:
- 5x Faster Scanning: Scan times have been drastically reduced, from 10 minutes down to just 2 minutes.
- Improved Low-Texture Handling: The engine now performs better on objects with minimal texture.
- Enhanced Precision: Experience fewer scan failures and higher overall precision in your 3D models.
- Feature Enhancements:
- AR Mode: Utilize the new AR mode for smarter scan coverage, ensuring you capture every angle.
- Full-Res Rendering: Enjoy full-resolution rendering directly on your mobile device, with a texture toggle for added control.
- Content Limits:
- Upload Limits: Basic users now have an upload limit of 150, while Pro users can upload up to 500 scans.
- Unlimited Exports: All users can now enjoy unlimited exports, regardless of their subscription status.
- AI-Powered Textures:
- AI PBR Textures: For the first time in 3D scanning history, KIRI Engine introduces AI-powered PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures, adding a new level of realism to your models.
The update focuses on improving the core scanning process, making it faster and more reliable. The 5x faster scanning is a game-changer, significantly reducing the time it takes to create 3D models. The improvements to low-texture object handling and enhanced precision address common pain points in photogrammetry, resulting in better quality scans with fewer failures. These enhancements save time and allow artists to focus on the creative aspects of 3D modeling.
The addition of AR Mode offers a more intelligent way to ensure complete scan coverage, which is particularly useful for complex objects. The introduction of AI-powered PBR textures marks a significant leap forward. PBR textures are essential for creating realistic materials in 3D environments, and having AI generate these textures directly within the app streamlines the texturing workflow, saving artists considerable time and effort.
