Agisoft Metashape is widely used to generate high-resolution 3D models from drone imagery or photogrammetric scans. But exporting those models into real-time engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, or web-based platforms like CesiumJS requires specific settings and optimizations. This guide walks you through the best export settings and formats to ensure smooth integration and high performance […]

Agisoft Metashape produces highly detailed 3D models from drone imagery or close-range photos. However, these models can quickly become massive in size—making them hard to share, view, or use in real-time environments. In this guide, you’ll learn how to reduce model size in Metashape without sacrificing too much detail, optimizing your workflow for export, collaboration, […]
