I'd be very interested in a comparison Meshroom vs. RealityCapture (which seems to become the standard in non-free photogrammetry).

Agisoft Metashape is pretty good as well. Results are comparable to RealityCapture (depending a bit on what you want) but personal license is only 179$. I tried all sorts of free photogrammetry softwares way back but after I tried Metashape I decided to buy a license. With 32 GB of memory it's great. I'm taking photogrammetry models as a hobby - here's a recent one made with Metashape https://skfb.ly/6S6NR

Btw, super shameless plug: If you're looking for 3D capture where photogrammetry doesn't work well (indoors, complex environments) you may find Dot3D (https://www.dotproduct3d.com/dot3dpro.html) quite helpful. It uses depth sensors and works on any recent Android or Windows device. You can get a 14 day free trial and we're happy to extend if needed.

That looks great, how many pictures did that take?

Impressive. How much time did you invest for that model?

Don't want to speak for the OP, but that's typically the kind of quality I get directly out of Meshroom with no work other than throwing the pics in it and waiting ~ 4 hours (less if you have a fast, modern GPU)

Just buy a cheap cuda-capable NVidia GPU. For Meshroom, you don't need the latest and greatest, a two generation old GPU will do the trick and can be had for peanuts on ebay.

For those of us with laptops any alternatives?

It seems that there is no photogrammetry software that supports Linux and Radeon at same time.

while it is not mentioned for metashape on https://www.agisoft.com/downloads/system-requirements/

the manual at https://www.agisoft.com/pdf/metashape_1_6_en.pdf lists

Radeon R9 series and later with OpenCL 1.1 support

in addition to the nvidia and cpu options.

It seems like this has good promise, but scale is random on the output.

I've been looking for a good way to make a customized face mask using photogrammetry and my 3d printer, so I'm going to give this a shot. The only issue will be scaling the model so that my head is the right size for the modeling process.
