Autodesk ReCap System Requirements for Cloud Hosting

Autodesk ReCap, short for Reality Capture, is a robust 3D modelling software that allows users to create them from photos and laser scans. ReCap is widely used in the field of architecture, engineering, and construction to capture and process real world data into digital models. The application is made of two different but united modules, ReCap Pro and ReCap Photo. ReCap Pro focuses on processing using laser scan data to create 3D models, while ReCap Photo specializes in creating 3D models from photographs using photogrammetry. Together, these modules provide a comprehensive toolset for reality capture and 3D modeling, enabling professionals to achieve high levels of accuracy and efficiency in their projects.

ReCap’s primary/core features include:

• Import and Edit: Import point cloud data from laser scans and edit it within the software.
• Automatic Registration: Align multiple scans automatically to create a comprehensive 3D model.
• Photogrammetry: Convert photos into 3D models using advanced photogrammetry techniques.
• Mesh Creation: Generate detailed 3D meshes from photo data.
• Measurement Tools: Measure distances, areas, and volumes directly within the point cloud.
• Annotations: Add notes and annotations to specific points in the model.
• Noise Filtering: Remove unwanted points to clean up the point cloud data.
• Segmentation: Segment the point cloud to focus on specific areas or features.
• GPS Integration: Supports GPS tags in photos for accurate geolocation of models.
• 3D Viewer: Visualize and navigate through 3D models with ease.

Despite the advanced nature of these features, Autodesk ReCap is meant for on-premises deployment, restricting users from experiencing the benefits of the cloud. Professionals will have to carry the device on which ReCap is set up with them, severely limiting their mobility. There is, however, a simple workaround to this – hosting your Autodesk ReCap environment on Apps4Rent’s data centers to create a hybrid on-premises/cloud setup.

This unique environment affords users the full benefits of ReCap’s innate on-premises deployment nature combined with the scalability and flexibility of cloud technology.

What Are the Benefits of a Cloud-Hosted Autodesk ReCap Setup?

Cloud-hosted solutions bring significant advantages over traditional local deployments, and Autodesk ReCap, a powerful 3D modeling software, benefits immensely from this approach. Hosting Autodesk ReCap in the cloud unlocks new possibilities, delivering superior performance, scalability, and flexibility for creating detailed 3D models from photos and laser scans.

• Access from Anywhere

  A cloud-hosted Autodesk ReCap setup allows users to process and manage their 3D projects from any device with internet connectivity. This ensures seamless remote access and supports collaboration across geographically dispersed teams.

• On-Demand Scalability

  Cloud hosting offers the ability to scale resources like storage, processing power, and memory as your needs grow. Whether you are working with large point cloud datasets or high-resolution scans, the cloud ensures that your ReCap environment adjusts dynamically to handle complex workloads.

• Improved Performance

  Cloud hosting leverages high-performance computing resources to deliver exceptional speed and reliability. Users can effortlessly process large datasets and generate accurate 3D models without being restricted by local hardware limitations.

• Reduced IT Management

  By hosting Autodesk ReCap in the cloud, you eliminate the need to manage hardware, perform updates, or ensure system security manually. Cloud providers handle these tasks, allowing your team to focus solely on creating precise and detailed 3D models.Cloud hosting transforms the Autodesk ReCap experience, empowering users with enhanced flexibility, unmatched scalability, and superior performance to meet their 3D modeling needs effectively over our hosted virtual desktop solutions.
