The process is very similar to taking a walk-through video or series of photographs, both of which are common practices in the real estate world.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is a 3D scan more immersive, but it\u2019s also easier to compare sizes, layout, practical space, and potential for renovation and other major work. We\u2019d recommend taking detailed photos and videos in addition to your scan, which works best with apps like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/polycam-lidar-3d-scanner\/id1532482376\">Polycam<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/roomscan-lidar\/id1504050801#?platform=iphone\">RoomScan LiDAR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/44411\/the-best-diy-home-improvement-apps-of-2020\/\">planning major work in a home<\/a> you already own, a 3D scan can give you a base from which to work in a 3D modeling app like Blender (if you\u2019re comfortable working in such an app). Alternatively, it can provide a nice \u201cbefore and after\u201d comparison to look back on.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, selling your house without a real estate agent is surging in popularity.

While the assets that photogrammetry provides are often highly accurate and detailed, the process of taking an item from a series of photographs to a finished model you can use can take hundreds of hours.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, a scan made on an iPhone or iPad with an app like Polycam can take a matter of minutes. Scanning an object is a bit like taking a video, and when you\u2019re finished you can export a file that can be used in 3D modeling apps like Blender.
