Skanect 3D Scanning Software Now Available For Apple OS X SAN FRANCISCO, CA – July 10, 2013 – Occipital Inc., one of the world’s leading developers of computer vision-based software, announced today a new Apple OS X version to join the existing Windows version of the popular Skanect 3D scanning software. Skanect is a full-featured 3D scanning desktop application that allows users to capture, share, or 3D print highly accurate, full-color 3D models of objects, people, rooms and more. Skanect is the first 3D scanning application available for Mac computers that works with low-cost 3D sensors including Microsoft Kinect, ASUS Xtion and PrimeSense Carmine. Skanect for OS X is optimized to run on recent models of the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro. “It was essential for us to bring Skanect to OS X,” said Jeff Powers, CEO and co-founder of Occipital, “The OS X platform has attracted many of the world’s creative professionals, a large number of whom are precisely those in need of powerful 3D capture software like Skanect.” “Skanect is already one of the most popular content creation tools for capturing 3D models,” said ManCTL co-founder Nicolas Burrus, “Beyond Mac support, we’ve made exciting new improvements in the latest version of Skanect that make it much more suited to create content for video games and color 3D printers.” New features in the OS X release include the option to export texture-mapped models in OBJ and PLY format, the ability to adjust the level of detail in exported models, VRML export, and a 15% performance improvement for machines without high-end GPUs. These features will soon be available for Windows users, too. Skanect 1.5 for OS X is available for download at skanect.com. Skanect was developed by ManCTL, a France-based startup. Skanect was acquired by Occipital in June 2013. About Occipital Occipital develops computer vision-based applications.
