So now seems a good time to take a look at what’s coming.Īutodesk Memento is a cross-platform application, working on both Windows and Mac OSX. This initially started out as a photogrammetry solution, but its remit has expanded in the last year as it has moved closer to public beta testing, now live. There’s also been a surge in interest in photogrammetry as a means of capturing 3D geometry, combining photography with other technologies to create something akin to magic.Īutodesk has had a finger in this particular pie for quite some time – at the consumer level, with its 123D Catch applications for workstations and smartphones, and at the professional level, with its interest in the use of mesh or point cloud-based datasets, predominantly driven by its factory design and architectural applications, such as Navisworks and Revit.īut alongside these, it has also been developing another system, Memento.
