Hi Simon, thanks for reaching out!
Could you please elaborate a little more on the e57 files? Which workflows are you envisioning for them into Reality Studio?

Best,

Damian

The E57 format is a vendor-neutral file format and can store 3D data (pointclouds), corresponding (360°) images and XML metadata. It is a widely used format used by laser scanner such as Leica or Faro.

I´d like to use an existing e57 file to generate a dense reconstruction from both point cloud and 360° images and combine this information with drone imagery.
