SynthExport Description
In the eventuality that you are using Microsoft’s Photosynth to transform your digital photos into 3D or panoramic images, then there is a chance that you are looking for a tool that enables you to extract and use the pictures for other projects.
SynthExport is a program developed to help you export camera parameter data, point clouds or images from Photosynth to a format that is compatible with numerous 3D graphic apps.
Intuitive GUI and straightforward functionality
After a quick and uneventful setup, you are welcomed by a relatively rugged, yet clean and structured interface. As indicated in the main window, the program’s functionality is as simple as it gets and entails following two basic steps, namely copying the Photosynth’s URL and then specifying the type of data you want to export.
You should know that the utility enables you to preview the thumbnail of the images you are storing in Photosynth. Moreover, you can filter the available pictures based on their file formats (PNG, JPEG or Microsoft ICE project).
Allows you to import camera parameters and point clouds
The main idea behind the application is to help you export images as well as other critical data that could help you reconstruct a three-dimensional model. Consequentially, the app primarily works with ready 3D or panoramic photos as well as camera parameters and point clouds.
Point clouds refer to a set of data points in some coordinate system that represents the external surface of an object. In other words, it means that the tool can lend you a hand with getting the necessary material for creating 3D CAD models for machinery parts or animations for example. As far as the file formats you can export to you can count X3D, OBJ, PLY (ASCII and binary) and VRML.
A utility that can come in handy for anyone working with 3D app
Irrespective of whether you are trying to render 3D objects, create animations or build a CAD project, SynthExport can help you export the panoramic pictures and other elements you might need for your project.
