Here at Puget Systems, we have put together a benchmark utility for RealityCapture which measures system performance by running two small projects – a 3D Model and a 3D Map – and tracking the time taken to process each step. This benchmark is freely available to download, below, though running it requires an existing installation and valid license of RealityCapture on a 64-bit Windows computer.
Depending on your browser, OS, and antivirus settings, you may receive warnings about this tool being an unrecognized app.
Rest assured that if you downloaded it from the Puget Systems website it is not harmful in any way.
Be sure to check out the full list of benchmarks we have available!
This benchmark is protected under the Creative Commons BY-ND license. If you want to use the results of this benchmark on another website, you are welcome to – but attribution to Puget Systems is required and a link back to this page is encouraged.
How to Use the RealityCapture Benchmark
Using this benchmark is quite simple, though you do need to have RealityCapture installed and logged in prior to starting.
- Download the RealityCapture Benchmark file by clicking on the blue button above
- Once downloaded, unzip "Puget Systems RealityCapture Benchmark.zip" to a location where you have write permission
- After it has fully extracted, open the Puget Systems RealityCapture Benchmark folder
- Run the RealityCaptureBenchmark.exe file
- Wait for it to detect the version of RealityCapture that is installed
- At the intro screen, read the description and then click on Start to begin
- Avoid using the mouse or keyboard during the benchmark execution – changing focus at the wrong time will interfere with it
- When the benchmark is complete, a summary screen will be displayed with the time (in seconds) for processing each step
- That information will also be saved to a results file in the same folder and uploaded to our website for comparison with others
You can compare the results from running this benchmark on your system to those we show in our RealityCapture articles.
