    Specification

    The Reality Modeling WorkSuite sales bundle includes iTwin Capture Modeler and Reality Data Management.

    iTwin Capture Modeler

    Produce 3D models of existing conditions for infrastructure projects, derived from photographs and/or point clouds. These highly detailed, 3D reality meshes provide precise real-world context for design, construction, and operations decisions throughout the lifecycle of a project. Develop precise reality meshes affordably with less investment of time and resources in specialized acquisition devices and associated training. You can easily produce 3D models using photos taken with an ordinary camera and/or LiDAR point clouds captured with a laser scanner, resulting in fine details, sharp edges, and geometric accuracy. Dramatically reduce processing time with the ability to run two iTwin Capture Modeler instances in parallel on a single project.

    Reality Data Management

    Reality Data Management is a cloud service for storing, managing, and sharing reality data. Better collaborate when you share visuals of the 3D reality mesh with your teams. Reality Data Management, a cloud-based service, extends Bentley’s ProjectWise connected data environment to securely manage, share, and stream reality meshes, and their input sources, across project teams and applications increasing team productivity and collaboration. It enables you to stream large amounts of reality modeling data without the need for high-end hardware or complex IT infrastructure. Reality Data Management is accessible through Bentley’s software applications, such as MicroStation, Bentley Descartes, and much more. UAV companies, surveying, and engineering firms leveraging reality modeling in-house can quickly access their 3D reality meshes generated with the iTwin Capture Modeler.
