UZR 3D Professional creates textured 3D models from standard photographs. Such models can be used for CAD, 3D modeling, animation and other tasks. The software supports various 3D export formats and can be used to produce Internet-ready artwork also.
Improvements in UZR 3D Professional 1.4 include new texturing features like optimal map generation, and the ability to render at any resolution; new calibration features including manual interaction and calibration accuracy measurement; the ability to import object image alpha channel data, which enables object masking via external image editing software; improved masking tools; and better UZR export.
