Postshot

Postshot is a desktop 3D reconstruction application developed by Jawset that uses radiance field technology to create photorealistic 3D scenes and objects from standard photographs or video captured with any camera. Designed for production workflows, it processes all data locally on Windows machines equipped with Nvidia GPUs, without requiring cloud uploads or specialized scanning hardware. Postshot is aimed at VFX artists, game developers, architects, and researchers who need a fast, accessible path from real-world capture to high-quality 3D models.

Key Features

Radiance field reconstruction from any camera: Postshot works with standard RGB images and video from smartphones, DSLRs, cinema cameras, or drones, eliminating the need for depth sensors or structured light scanners.
Local machine learning: all training and rendering executes on the user’s Nvidia GPU, keeping captured data private and under their exclusive control, with no data uploaded to external servers.
Unlimited image count and model size, supporting resolutions up to 4K SDR on Free and Indie tiers and beyond 4K with HDR 16-bit or 32-bit color on the Studio tier.
Broad format support: import JPG, PNG, TIF, EXR, DNG, RAW still images plus MOV, MP4, and MKV video, with full ACES color space handling for professional pipelines.
Flexible export options: export radiance fields in PLY and SPZ formats, directly integrate rendered models into Unreal Engine and After Effects, or export camera poses and point clouds for use in other tools.
Scene editing toolkit: live training preview, selection editing, scene merging, model sequence rendering, image masking for occluder and background removal, and region-of-interest training to focus compute on important areas.
Automation support: the Studio tier includes a command-line interface for headless training, batch processing, and integration into existing production scripts.
Geospatial integration: Postshot can incorporate geo-referenced data and supports AprilTag detection for automatic scene alignment in the Studio tier.

Use Cases

VFX and game production: artists capture real-world objects, sets, or environments on set or on location and reconstruct them as radiance fields for direct use in Unreal Engine and After Effects pipelines, reducing manual modeling time.
Architecture and cultural heritage: architects, archaeologists, and preservationists document buildings, monuments, and archaeological sites with standard cameras and reconstruct them as detailed, measurable 3D models for analysis and presentation.
Product and e-commerce visualization: designers create interactive 3D product presentations, configurators, and marketing assets from simple photo shoots without requiring specialized scanning equipment or studios.
Research and education: computer vision and graphics researchers experiment with state-of-the-art radiance field reconstruction techniques on their own hardware, with access to training configuration parameters and command-line automation.

Integrations

Unreal Engine: Postshot integrates with Unreal Engine for seamless import of radiance field assets into game projects and architectural visualizations, with support for unlimited render nodes.
After Effects: rendered model sequences can be sent directly to After Effects for compositing and post-production, also with unlimited render nodes.
Third-party tools: import camera poses and points from COLMAP, RealityScan, BlocksExchange, and Pix4D OPF formats, and export to PLY and SPZ for use in external viewers and pipelines.

Pricing and Plans

Postshot offers three tiers: Free allows non-commercial use with unlimited image count and up to 4K SDR output; Indie adds commercial use, watermark-free rendering, PLY and SPZ export, and a floating license usable on any device; Studio adds HDR 16/32-bit color, beyond-4K resolution, command-line interface, AprilTag alignment, and advanced import formats such as BlocksExchange and Pix4D OPF.
All tiers can be downloaded freely; paid plans are billed monthly or yearly with multi-license discounts available.
