html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd" Epic Games is rebranding RealityCapture, its professional desktop photogrammetry software, as RealityScan.RealityScan 2.0, due in the “coming weeks”, will unify the desktop application with the existing RealityScan: Epic Games’ free 3D scanning app for iOS and Android devices. The update will also introduce new features including AI-based mask generation, support for aerial Lidar data, and new visual tools for troubleshooting scan quality. A desktop photogrammetry tool for games, VFX, visualization and urban planning First released in 2016, RealityCapture generates accurate triangle-based meshes of real-world objects, from people and props to environments.Its core photogrammetry toolset, for generating 3D meshes from sets of source images, is augmented by support for laser scan data. The software includes features aimed at aerial surveying and urban planning, but is also used in the entertainment industry to generate assets for use in games and VFX. RealityCapture was acquired by Epic Games in 2021, which made the software available free to artists and studios with revenue under $1 million/year last year. Now rebranded as RealityScan to unify it with the existing mobile app RealityCapture 2.0 – or rather, RealityScan 2.0 – is a change of branding, with the desktop application taking its new name and logo from Epic Games’ existing mobile scanning app.First released in 2022, RealityScan was originally pitched as a way to make RealityCapture’s functionality accessible to hobbyists as well as pros. It’s a pure photogrammetry tool, turning photos captured on a mobile phone or tablet into textured 3D models for use in AR, game development or general 3D work. RealityScan 2.0: AI masking, new Quality Analysis Tool, and support for aerial Lidar data New features in RealityCapture 2.0 will include AI-powered masking, with the software automatically identifying and masking out the background of the source images.The change should remove the need to generate masks manually, either in RealityCapture itself or an external DCC app. In addition, the default settings have been updated to improve alignment of source images, particularly when scanning objects with smooth surfaces and few surface features. To help troubleshoot scans, a new Quality Analysis Tool displays heatmaps showing parts of the scan where more images may be needed to reconstruct the source object accurately. The update will also introduce support for aerial Lidar data, which may be used alongside aerial photography and terrestrial data to reconstruct environments more accurately. No information yet on how the new features break down between desktop and mobile It isn’t clear which of those new features will be included in the mobile app, although it will presumably also be updated to version 2.0 at the same time, since Epic Games’ blog post announcing the changes describes its aim as to “unify the desktop and mobile versions”.We’ve contacted Epic for more information, and will update if we hear back. Price, system requirements and release date RealityScan 2.0 is due in the “coming weeks”. Epic Games hasn’t announced an exact release date, or any changes to price or system requirements.The current version of the desktop software, RealityCapture 1.5, is available for Windows 7+ and Windows Server 2008+. It’s CUDA-based, so you need a CUDA 3.0-capable NVIDIA GPU. The desktop software is free to artists and studios with revenue under $1 million/year. For larger studios, subscriptions cost $1,250/seat/year. The current version of the mobile app, RealityScan 1.6, is compatible with Android 7.0+, iOS 16.0+ and iPadOS 16.0+. It’s free, including for commercial use. By default, its EULA gives Epic Games the right to use your scan data to train products and services, but you can opt out in the in-app settings.

RuneScape developer Jagex has laid off an undisclosed number of staff from 'non-game development roles, which was confirmed today by the studio.Reported by PCGamer, the layoffs first came to light on the RuneScape subreddit, with users noticing moderators missing all of a sudden. A mod that goes by Hooli replied to the thread mentioning the job cuts. They added that the majority of the layoffs were "from non-game dev and non-player facing areas," adding that the roadmap for RuneSpace: Dragonwilds, which launched into Steam early access two months ago, “won’t change because of these job reductions.”“We’ll continue the great path we've been on with our content,” Hooli added."Changes to operational structure" at JagexAccording to the studio (via a statement sent to PCGamer), the layoffs, presented as “changes to our operational structure,” were part of a strategy to build “the best experiences for players and grow the RuneScape community.” The goals are to “reduce complexity, increase agility, and ensure we are fully focused on the areas that matter most-our games, our players, and our future.”While Jagex declined to disclose the exact number of employees affected, it says the vast majority are within the operations and administrative support teams.Related:“We recognize that any change of this nature is difficult, and we are committed to supporting all impacted employees throughout the transition,” the company addded, although it didn’t share specifics about how it plans to provide support.Jagex reported profit growth for the seventh year in a row at the end of 2022, four years after shutting down RuneScape Classic, ending a 17-year-old run. The studio was then acquired by private equity firms CVC Capital and Haveli Investments in February 2024. A month later, CEO Phil Mansell departed the studio after eight years. CVC Capital advisor and Jagex board member Jon Bellami then took helm of the studio.
