3DF Zephyr allows you to reconstruct 3D models from photos automatically. The process is entirely automatic, and no coded targets, manual editing or special equipment are needed. 3DF Zephyr is built on top of our proprietary, cutting-edge, reconstruction technology. 3DF Zephyr comes with a user-friendly interface, and the possibility to export in many common 3D formats or even to generate lossless video without the need for external tools. Furthermore, 3DF Zephyr has a lot of advances functionalities, and you can, for example, edit your models, create true orthophotos, digital elevation models (DTM), manage laser scan data and calculate areas, volumes, angles, contour lines, and much more.
Here in 3Dflow, we worked hard to build up both the core technologies and the user interface. The obtained solution is in all probability the most accurate, completely automatic, best engineered multiview-stereo algorithm available on the market.
With this update 3DF Zephyr is significantly faster than all previous releases and the quality of the reconstruction is now significanlty better: the new photoconsistency filter allows for much more beautiful and realistic sharp edges, the out of core new algorithm allows to process huge datasets at a much lower memory footprint, and our world-class texture algorithm now produces even sharper and better textures.This is the biggest technology update that 3DF Zephyr has ever received in a single release, and as tradition, all 3DF Zephyr versions (including Free and Lite) are getting the same technology improvements.
3DF Zephyr Pro and 3DF Zephyr Aerial have now been unified into one single software solution, called 3DF Zephyr.
3DF Zephyr Free and 3DF Zephyr Lite are still two separate products. Make sure to check this page for more information, especially if you are a 3DF Zephyr Pro license holder.
