As such, it’s up against that other new pre-viz product, Antics from Kelseus.
ImageModeler extracts 3D data from a series of photographs using technology similar to that used in matchmoving software. By placing markers on corresponding locations in different images it can plot the points in 3D space
RealViz is now shipping ImageModeler 4.0, the latest version of their image-based 3D modelling software, for the Mac platform.
