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.
How good is the spatial resolution? Do you see your gear competing with Lidar pointcloud scanners any time soon?

#33Was this always open source? Somehow in my photogrammetry journey I’ve heard of this and not tried it. I guess I assumed it was proprietary. Anyone have any comments on how this compares to COLMAP? Looks like better UI at least.

#34It 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.

I would echo the recommendation, but add that you really also need a good GPU. All the steps are highly parallelisable and take significantly longer on a CPU only. Agisoft has a relatively simple interface, but there's a lot of complexity underneath if you need to tweak things.

The scale issue is a problem with any software like this unfortunately, it makes doing this type of processing in chunks very difficult as you are getting different scale outputs and nothing really relating the chunks together. OpenSFM does some neat stuff where they use location data and just search for matches between images near that location.

The install process for Alicevision and Meshroom is a pain in the ass, I basically gave up at some point, would love to hear some input from others though. I'm currently using OpenSFM and it works great, just very slow.

That's really cool. I haven't seen photogrammetry offerings that much in the space you are targeting. How good is the spatial resolution? Do you see your gear competing with Lidar pointcloud scanners any time soon?
