A friend of mine took his Mini 5 out for a neighborhood flyover last week and converted it into a 3D scene → https://teleport.varjo.com/captures/524ee89f293a4a2e907009191ba7b9f4?viewer=v3

Scene is ready a few hours later. Wasn't sure how it'd hold up, but the result came out better than expected.

Heard DJI Terra can do similar stuff but it's super expensive. This was way easier & more accessible. Has anyone else here tried drone-to-3D?

We just shipped large-area drone support in Teleport: pushing single-capture limits to 10K images, 5K resolution, and 100M splats, all fully automated. Aimed specifically at neighborhood and site-scale drone work.

Here's one the team processed recently: Vuores neighborhood in Tampere, Finland [7,797 images, 62M splats] → https://teleport.varjo.com/captures/524ee89f293a4a2e907009191ba7b9f4?viewer=v3

It's paid currently ($30 starting credit). The default option for captures this size is having & locking up a 4090/5090 for a day or two. This offers an alternative that can help automate and scale.

You can check out more about Teleport here: https://get.teleport.varjo.com/ & shoot me a DM for free credits to try it out for yourself.

Curious what everyone else is doing at the same scale. Is anyone creating captures this big on a regular basis? Where does the breakdown happen for you?
