iTwin Capture Engine is Bentley’s next-generation, on-premises reality modeling processing software. It is designed specifically for professionals who need high-performance, secure processing to transform raw field data into engineering-ready digital assets.  

Reality data processing software is specialized technology that converts raw spatial data captured from the physical world — such as overlapping drone photographs or LiDAR point clouds — into accurate, structured digital 3D models. It performs tasks like aligning and stitching multiple datasets (registration), removing noise or unwanted artifacts (cleaning), and generating solid geometric surfaces (meshing). The result is a precise digital representation of real‑world environments that can be used for measurement, analysis, design, or digital‑twin workflows.  

No. iTwin Capture Engine is designed for secure, full-control on-premises processing. You can run all your aerotriangulation, 3D mesh generation, and data rendering completely offline and behind your own organization's firewall.  

The software is built for high-performance scalability. By running multiple engines in parallel across different machines on your local network, you can distribute the processing workload. This task of partitioning drastically cuts processing times, enabling you to deliver complex, city-wide reconstructions rapidly.  

Yes, iTwin Capture Modeler Flex is available completely free of charge. You can use it to organize your projects, import photos, navigate your datasets, perform precise measurements (volume, distance, surface), and even touch up your final 3D reality meshes and 2D orthophotos without using an Engine license.  

Absolutely. iTwin Capture Engine is fully compatible with iTwin Capture Cloud Services. This hybrid flexibility allows you to run secure projects on-premises, while seamlessly offloading other massive processing jobs to the cloud to leverage cloud-scale hardware and advanced, AI-powered analysis.  

Yes. iTwin Capture Engine fully supports the creation of Gaussian Splats alongside traditional reality meshes. This cutting-edge capability allows you to reconstruct highly complex, thin, or semi-transparent structures—like power lines, vegetation, and wire fences—with incredible, photorealistic accuracy.
