360 Product Photography for 3D Modeling

Pictomic, a leading developer of 360 and 3D product photography tools, has designed solutions that streamline and automate image capture through seamless software and hardware integration. While our tools are traditionally used for web and eCommerce applications, we’ve seen a growing number of customers utilizing them for Photogrammetry and 3D modeling, thanks to their precision, accuracy, and automated workflows. With Pictomic, users can expect to significantly optimize their Photogrammetry image capture and editing processes.

Photogrammetry, or image-based modeling and rendering, involves capturing a series of still images of a real-world object (e.g., a physical product) and using software to create a digital model. It has various applications in fields like quality control, archaeology, engineering, and manufacturing. The image capture and editing process is often time-consuming and requires a skilled user to shoot at precise angles to generate the image set needed for 3D modeling software.

One of the fastest-growing trends in business communication is 360° product photography. If you’re looking to enhance visual communication in your digital catalog, Pictomic offers the perfect solution. Whether you need standalone 360° software or fully automated, integrated systems, Pictomic has options to fit your needs and budget.

Unlike a 360 spin, which is simply a sequence of 2D images, a 3D model includes depth information for each pixel, representing the distance from the camera. This enables precise measurement of object dimensions and allows for the generation of 2D images from any camera angle.

Creating eCommerce ready 3D models (i.e. clean and small in size) often involves extensive manual editing and can be particularly challenging for complex objects, such as feathers, transparent items, jewelry, or objects with intricate details like holes.
