MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. Bundlersfm is a structure-from-motion system for unordered image collections. 123D Catch is a free app that lets you create 3D scans of virtually any object. Sep 26, 2017 My eventual goal is to create a 3D rendered photogrammetry environment to upload and interact with in VR on my HTC Vive. So lets get started! Make your life easier by getting Agisoft PhotoScan. Agisoft PhotoScan ($179) is the program I chose to use for my photogrammetry. It isn't inexpensive but it's not exorbitant either.
