Autodesk has upgraded Memento from its status as technology preview to public b eta and will soon be releasing a Windows desktop app version that’s cloud-connected.Url top getting started license disclaimer topics toc end About the Author Autodesk Senior Product Manager Tatjana Dzambazova estimated that a Mac version of Memento should be available near the end of March 2015 or so.

Memento is incredibly powerful, with the capacity to generate and edit two-billion-polygon meshes but, according to Autodesk, it is also quite user-friendly. The system, which is a hybrid - part cloud-based, part desktop computing - lets you convert reality capture input into high-quality 3D models.

For instance, let’s say you have a set of photos that depict a three-dimensional object from a variety of viewpoints. With Memento, you can transform them into 3D models.

Another method for inputting imagery into Memento is via handheld or mid-range laser scanners. The 3D models Memento generates can be utilized as display models in 3D for interactive websites, 3D printed as physical objects, and used in visual effects or animation work.Įvidently, the same software engine that’s used for Autodesk’s consumer reality-capture software (for iOS, Android, and PC), 123D Catch, is also used for Memento.
