FAQ

Does the 3D scan include textures on the mesh?

If you are using our app for scanning rooms or objects, you might notice that the resulting 3D mesh does not include textures.

At present, our app generates a 3D mesh but does not provide textures with the scans.

This is something we are planning to include in a future update.
