Unlike 3D models created with CAD or modelling programmes, 3D meshes generated from reality can be huge in size and polygon count. For the first time, reality computing is scalable and accessible to a wide variety of users.Īdvertisement Combining power with ease of use And for those with greater expertise, Memento offers tools to dig deeper. Memento has been designed for users who require top-quality digital models of real-life objects but have little or no 3D modelling expertise. But while making 3D models from reality is becoming more mainstream every day, making those 3D models really usable for various specific workflows is a challenging and tedious process – usually slow, requiring high-end expertise and the use of multiple expensive software solutions.Īutodesk Memento aims to simplify that process into one single application, designed to cover the entire process from capture through final asset to further digital or fabrication workflows. Laser scanners are becoming better and more affordable new types of sensors of various strengths and qualities are flooding into the market (for example, Kinect, Tango and handheld structured light scanners.)Īll of these sensor-powered devices are able to capture the analogue world and convert it into digital data.

The camera sensors on our mobile phones or pocket cameras today are of similar power to professional cameras that used to cost thousands of dollars only few years ago. Powerful sensors are becoming ubiquitous and they make it easier than ever to capture and digitise the world around us.

Memento is a cross platform software product (for both Mac and Windows) that allows users to work with data from photogrammetry and 3D scanners
