What it is
PhotoCatch creates 3D models from photos and video, with capture and editing options on macOS and iOS. The desktop app can build models from separate photos, video, or both, then provides texture editing, AR optimization, transform, and crop tools. It exports USDZ and OBJ files; the App Store page says USDZ exports are ready for AR Quick Look and OBJ files work with almost any 3D software. PhotoCatch Cloud brings photogrammetry and 3D editing to mobile for capture, editing, and sharing on site. Its Depth Capture feature is intended to keep a model at the same scale as the real-world object. The maker presents PhotoCatch for personal, business, and enterprise uses such as AR, VR, construction, real estate, VFX, and online shopping. Desktop requirements are macOS 12 Monterey or later and Apple Silicon; some Intel Macs may work with 16 GB RAM and a compatible AMD GPU with 4 GB VRAM. The free plan is free. Monthly options are Essentials at 4.99 USD, Pro at 9.99 USD, Small Business at 19.99 USD, and Corporate at $49.99 a month.
