For example, when you play a video game with \u2018really good graphics\u2019, chances are that the game devs used 3D scanned assets in the game so they\u2019d look just as good as in real life. And that\u2019s what you can do with KIRI Engine. You can scan a road, a figurine, furniture, a plate of food, decorations\u2026just about anything you need (with some exceptions, but that\u2019s a whole different subject) as a digital 3D object.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Turn still images into 3d models with KIRI Engine.\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GPYspn3RQMA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What are some of the future plans with KIRI, especially for artists?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Wang: &#8220;We have an exciting roadmap up ahead. While I can\u2019t disclose everything in too much detail, I think one of the most exciting projects that we are currently working on is the Creator Program. It\u2019s basically a scan-to-earn program, where users can earn some extra money by selling us their 3D scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system is different from other 3D model sharing platforms which are often royalty-based, i.e., users get a percentage of the sales when someone finds and pays for the 3D model. With the Creator Program, creators can submit their scan and if it meets the minimum standards, they\u2019ll receive payment for it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this leads to our next major project ahead: we\u2019re aiming to build the world\u2019s largest, themed 3D scan library. There\u2019s a limited number of photorealistic 3D assets on the internet, so it can be hard to find just the right object or just the right texture. By leveraging the Creator Program, we hope to offer a more complete and diversified library of photorealistic 3D assets to all users.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-befores-amp-afters wp-block-embed-befores-amp-afters\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"t4QQUUtq8b\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beforesandafters.com\/2022\/09\/14\/how-you-can-bring-photoreal-objects-into-your-projects-with-3d-scanning-app-kiri\/\">How you can bring photoreal objects into your projects with 3D scanning app KIRI<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How you can bring photoreal objects into your projects with 3D scanning app KIRI&#8221; &#8212; befores &amp; afters\" src=\"https:\/\/beforesandafters.com\/2022\/09\/14\/how-you-can-bring-photoreal-objects-into-your-projects-with-3d-scanning-app-kiri\/embed\/#?secret=B1NHPgph45#?secret=t4QQUUtq8b\" data-secret=\"t4QQUUtq8b\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This article was interesting to me because it introduced me to a technology I have had little prior knowledge of. To create a 3D model file completely from submitted images is extremely interesting. I wonder if this technology can be applied to 3D printing concrete and I wonder at what level of detail it can capture. I also wonder if the models it creates are internally structurally sound and could be imported into a splicing program or if the program model only serves as an exterior canvas. I can also see the use of a program like this as a good business venture. The creative uses of a technology like this are nearly endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take-Aways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other technology can be utilized in the model development phase to create realistic representations of existing forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a 3D or VFX artist, 3D printing hobbyist or game dev looking to bring photoreal real-world objects into your projects, the&nbsp;KIRI Engine&nbsp;3D scanning app may be just what you need.
