MakeWorlds Studio

Your first 3D scene starts here

Prepare your media, reconstruct, refine and choose how to deliver.

Your first scan starts with one room.

Capture and save
Open the app and allow camera access. Start in a small, evenly lit room. Move slowly, check the coverage and hints, then save your scan.
Send to your computer
Open scan receiving on your computer, read its connection code with your phone and send. You can also export the scan file with AirDrop or Files.
Import and reconstruct
Import into a version of MakeWorlds Studio that supports scan files. Reconstruct and train, then inspect, edit and export the result.

Desktop downloads are not open on this site yet. To continue, use a desktop version that supports scan file import.

Your first scene

01Your First 3D SceneEnglish audio · 1:30

Check your media and device

Choose your input type and check operating-system and GPU support. For a first attempt, work locally with a small scene.

Prepare your media

Group the media for one scene and check that the original files open correctly. Exclude clearly blurred or unrelated views from the input, and check coverage along the viewpoints you want to explore.

Import, reconstruct and train

Choose the matching input type in MakeWorlds Studio, import your media and follow the interface through reconstruction and training. Processing time depends on your media, device and scene size.

Review, edit and export

Inspect the subject, edges and gaps from the viewpoints you need. Remove unwanted content and save the project. After exporting Gaussian PLY, check how it appears in the receiving tool that supports Gaussian data.

Workspace controls for choosing photos or video and opening a project

Device checklist

Check the operating system, GPU, memory and storage. Before working on a large scene, test your device and workflow with a small subset of media.

Capture tips

Overlap neighboring views

Capture the subject from different positions, keeping shared content in neighboring views and covering the sides you want to see.

Keep the footage sharp

Move slowly and steadily to reduce motion blur and sudden exposure changes, and avoid moving subjects where possible.

Keep lighting consistent

Keep lighting and exposure consistent, and avoid moving subjects and sudden brightness changes.

Reconstruct & review

Learn the process with a small scene. After reconstruction, check subject coverage, the viewpoints you need and any blurred or floating regions.

If the result is weak, review sharpness, overlap and viewpoint coverage. Missing capture information will often require additional footage.

Edit & export

Remove unwanted background and floating regions, save the project and export the files you need. Open and inspect the result in the recipient’s software before delivery.

Gaussian PLY requires a viewer or editor that supports Gaussian data. Confirm compatibility with the destination software and version.
