Epic Games owns Unreal Engine, which allows developers to create powerful 3D graphics.
However, creating 3D items manually and one by one is time-consuming.
Download RealityScan
To start scanning objects, you must first download the RealityScan app.

Tap onOKto let it use the camera on your iPhone or iPad.
Since RealityScan is a photogrammetry app, it will only use your iPhone’s camera and not itsLiDAR scanner.
It will then show a photo slideshow that contains the basic instructions on how to start capturing objects.
You should also avoid shooting in environments with direct sunlight.
For this example, we’ll use a black garbage bin with a green lid.
Beneath the frame, you should see a progress bar that tells you what the app is doing.
As you take images, you should see the photos you captured floating in AR mode.
However, red dots mean that that area needs more coverage; otherwise, it will render poorly.
Cropping Into Your Source Object
RealityScan will capture and render everything your camera sees.
However, that means it will also render other objects in the background.
To do so, tap on theCropicon at the lower-right corner of the capture screen.
To adjust the sides of the capture area, tap and hold any of the boxes to move them.
you could also rotate the crop box along the Z-axis by tapping and dragging the ball.
you’re able to also crop the image in Preview Mode if you prefer a static view.
Just tap and hold outside the bounds of the cropping box to rotate the object.
You should find your project named with the date and time you started capturing it and its processing status.
Once the export is complete, you’ll receive a confirmation email that it’s now available on SketchFab.
