Regard3D 1.0

Regard3D, developed by Roman Hiestand, is a free, open-source, cross-platform photogrammetry application that turns sets of overlapping photographs into textured 3D models. It offers a complete end-to-end workflow—feature detection and matching, camera calibration and pose estimation, sparse reconstruction, dense point cloud generation, mesh creation, and texture mapping—in an intuitive, step-by-step graphical interface.

Built on widely used computer vision components, Regard3D supports common image formats and EXIF metadata and exports to standard 3D formats such as OBJ, PLY, and STL, making it easy to refine results in tools like MeshLab or Blender. It’s a practical choice for hobbyists, researchers, and professionals who need an accessible, reproducible pipeline for converting real-world scenes into accurate 3D assets.

Key features:

• Free and open source, maintained by Roman Hiestand
• Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Visual, node-based workflow for experimenting with settings and comparing results
• Full Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View Stereo pipeline
• Exports to widely used 3D formats (OBJ, PLY, STL) for downstream editing and sharing
