RealityScan App: iPhone app that turns real-life objects into 3D models now available on Android with improvements – Times of India

Epic Games introduced its Unreal engine-powered RealityScan app exclusively for iPhone users in December 2022. This free-to-download, photogrammetry app can create high-fidelity 3D models of objects just by using multiple pictures of them taken from smartphones or tablets. The game developer has now announced that the RealityScan app is now available for both Android and iPhone users. The app also allows users to export these 3D models to Sketchfab to share with others. Users can also download these models to access them in other apps like Unreal Engine or Twinmotion.
RealityScan on Android: Availability
RealityScan will be available for Android phones and tablets that support ARCore and runs Android 7 (API level 24) or higher. Meanwhile, iPhones and iPad users need their devices to run iOS 16 or higher to access the app.

RealityScan Is Now Also Available for Android

Improvements arriving with the Android app
The latest update of the RealityScan app also offers “a streamlined user interface and more intuitive workflows,” the company noted. This version of the app supports a new step-based workflow that will take users through the scanning process. Users can also go back up through the steps if they need to make changes.
RealityScan app will also enable users to easily find and delete unconnected images from the Project Library. Users can also add new images to replace the ones that are not required. The latest version also includes an embedded Sketchfab viewer tool that will help users to open a preview of the final model (as it will look in Sketchfab) directly from the Project Library.
Apart from this, users can also add and edit a name and description for the project which will be automatically synchronised to Sketchfab.
How RealityScan will work with Sketchfab
In a blog post, Epic mentioned that users can export their 3D-rendered models to Sketchfab for free. However, the number of models that users can upload to their Sketchfab account per month will depend on their Sketchfab plan. The company also notes that users will be automatically upgraded to Sketchfab Pro for free for one year on their first upload.
Epic also claimed that the RealityScan app on iOS saw over 200,000 downloads after it was rolled out for iPhone users in 2022. The company added that since then thousands of models have been created by the community and uploaded to Sketchfab.
