3D Modelling with DT 360 Digital Twins
3D Modelling with Aviotix – From Drone to Digital, Seamlessly
To begin with DT 360 Digital Twins, capturing the right images is essential. Fly your drone steadily. Make sure to maintain at least 70% front overlap and 60% side overlap between photos. Also, fly at a consistent altitude. Avoid sudden turns. Capture from multiple angles if possible.
After that, upload the images to Aviotix. You don’t need to sort them. You don’t even need to name them. Just drag and drop. Our system handles everything else.
Immediately after upload, Aviotix starts analysing your dataset. It detects features. Then it estimates the camera poses. Shortly thereafter, it generates a sparse 3D point cloud.
Following that step, with DT 360 Digital Twins launches dense reconstruction. This phase builds a rich 3D model from the aligned images. Each pixel contributes. Every detail counts.
Once the dense point cloud is ready, the system constructs a detailed mesh. It connects all visible surfaces. As a result, you get a full geometric structure.
Afterward, Aviotix applies colour and texture. It uses the original images to paint your model. Consequently, the final mesh looks photo-realistic.
In the final step, the platform prepares the files for download. You can choose from popular formats such as PLY, OBJ, GLTF, and FBX. What’s more, you can view the result directly in the browser.
All in all, Aviotix takes you from drone imagery to a polished 3D model — without manual work. In essence, you fly. We process. You deliver results.
Moreover, this process works in the field, at the office, or in the cloud. No technical background required. No software installation needed.
To summarise:
-
Step 1: Capture high-overlap drone photos
Fly your drone with at least 70% front and 60% side overlap. Consistent altitude and good lighting help.
-
Step 2: Upload them to with DT 360 Digital Twins
No need to rename or sort — just drag, drop, and submit.
-
Step 3: Wait from few minutes and review your preview on the site
Once uploaded, Aviotix generates an instant 3D preview so you can validate image quality and coverage.
-
Step 4: Wait from few minutes to few hours to receive an email with download linked your model
In just a few minutes (or up to a few hours for larger datasets), you’ll receive an email with a secure download link.
-
Step 5: Download your ready-to-use 3D model
Access your model in PLY, OBJ, GLTF, or other formats — ready for visualisation, analysis, or integration.
