Meshroom

Meshroom is an open-source software that creates 3D models from a series of photographs. It uses a technique called photogrammetry, which analyzes overlapping images to reconstruct the shape, textures, and details of real-world objects or environments. Users upload their photos, and Meshroom processes them automatically, generating detailed 3D representations suitable for applications like virtual reality, gaming, or archaeology. It’s popular because it’s user-friendly, powerful, and free, making advanced 3D modeling accessible without requiring specialized knowledge or expensive equipment.
