3DF Zephyr is a computer program for performing photogrammetry – recreating 3D objects from images and video. It is developed by 3Dflow, and comes in three versions, Free, Lite, and Full. The Full version boasts an impressive amount of features: it comes with a wide range of 3D editing features to tweak the scanned model, can utilize LIDAR scans to improve recreation accuracy, generate digital terrain models and orthophotos, and export all this data in a variety of formats. The Lite version lacks most of these abilities, but it’s still good enough for most users, and is far more affordable. The Free version, meanwhile, is perfect for those who are just getting started. It is not time-limited, which means that beginners can explore the abilities of the software and learn on their own pace. Quite unfortunately, 3DF Zephyr is available only on Microsoft Windows. Though understandable – complex software is very tricky to port – some people still want to run 3DF Zephyr on Mac. Certain third-party software can be used to accomplish this; learn more by reading the guide below.
