Yes. You can use iTwin Capture Modeler Flex to import, organize, and prepare your reality data at no cost. You only pay when you are ready to process the data into final outputs using either iTwin Capture Engine or iTwin Capture Cloud Services. 

iTwin Capture Engine is an on-premises solution that gives you full control for secure, local processing on your own hardware. iTwin Capture Cloud Services is a cloud-based solution ideal for large datasets and collaborative, remote teams, offering limitless scale and AI-powered features without requiring specialized hardware.

Reality modeling software is used to add real-world insights to digital twins by converting raw data from sources like cameras and scanners into actionable, engineering-ready 3D models. Specifically, iTwin Capture Modeler is used to import, organize, and prepare reality data to create foundational assets for digital twins, such as reality meshes, gaussian splats, point clouds, and orthophotos.

Yes. ITwin Capture Modeler can import and process point clouds.

iTwin Capture Modeler can import and process several types of reality data such as images, point clouds, and videos to create digital assets. 

Photogrammetry is the specific technique of creating 3D models from photographs. 


Reality Modeling is the broader process of creating a comprehensive digital twin using multiple data sources, including photos, LiDAR scans (point clouds), and video. The goal is to produce engineering-ready models for analysis and decision-making.
