Cleverly enough, it doesn't prompt you to do so until after you've taken the 10-20-however-many pictures of your object. I suspect this would make a hell of a difference over a login screen upon launch or capture.

Principally it uses VisualSFM and Meshlab, both of which came to life as testbeds for algorithm research but are now useful in their own right. By all accounts 123D Catch does an excellent job, but is quite rigid in its workflow. Apparently it uses the engine from A…
