Recent Project Photofly YouTube videos from users

Autodesk’s Project Photofly is still going strong, and to prove it they’ve posted on their own blog a nice assortment of videos showing what users have done with it.

One of the convenience features of the Photo Scene Editor, a small application that you use to work with the Project Photofly web service, is that it will create and publish a video to YouTube for you. It uses the camera location of each of your submitted pictures as a key frame and combines them to make an animation. Several users have leveraged this capability to share what they have been able to create using Project Photofly.

Some impressive stuff there, and I can’t wait to see how Autodesk works this into their professional products.

Autodesk Labs Utilities Project Photofly 2.0

It’s been about 9 months since we first heard of Autodesk’s Project Photofly, but now it’s back in Version 2.0.  This new version boasts some new features but the same powerful meshing technology.  All of the work is done on Autodesk’s cloud, so all you need is a windows-based PC to upload the photos.

One particularly neat feature of the Autodesk offering is that they offer a type of “inverse” scanning, so that you can stand inside a room and take photos of all the walls, and have the entire room reconstructed.  It’s almost like scanning an object inside-out.

Check out their demonstration video below.
