Autodesk lab-3D modeling from photos

As a GIS professional, I am more accustomed to two-dimensional maps, two-dimensional images or two-dimensional design drawings. However, as we live in a 3D world, modeling for our 3D environment has become the expectation of more and more people. 3D models have more benefits than 2D models. For example, 3D models are more flexible and can provide more perspectives for faster video animation creation. 3D models allow us to perform real-time computing when working in 3D design software, such as Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Revit, and Autodesk LandExplore.

Currently, 3D models can be built using laser scanners to obtain points, form a surface, and then rendered into 3D models in various software. But if there is a simpler and more economical method, Autodesk provides a free solution, which is the Autodesk lab's Photefly (Project Photo Fly) Project. Photofly can automatically model a series of photos around an object or scene, and convert these flat photos into 3D models using cloud computing technology. This makes 3D modeling more efficient and cost-effective.
