Postshot

The download panel lists Windows 10 or later and an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA compute capability 7.5 or higher, naming the GeForce RTX 2060 and Quadro T400 or RTX 4000 as entry points. There is no macOS or Linux build, and no AMD or Intel graphics option is listed. Check your card against the NVIDIA table before planning a shoot.

Training runs locally, which is why the hardware matters so much. The EULA adds that an internet connection is required to use Postshot, so a fully offline workstation is not a supported setup even though your images never leave the machine.

Free does not cap image count, video length or model size, and it trains and renders up to 4K in 8-bit SDR. You can export camera poses and points and import cameras from COLMAP or RealityScan. That is enough to learn capture technique and judge whether splats suit your subject.

The limits are about use rather than size. Free is non-commercial, renders without the watermark need Indie, and saved files can be used within the Free plan only. The EULA also lets Jawset end free licences at any time without notice, so do not build client work on a Free scene.

Indie is the practical threshold for paid work. It adds commercial use, watermark-free image and video renders, a floating licence you can move between devices, PLY and SPZ export, and unlimited render nodes for Unreal Engine and After Effects.

Studio is for capture pipelines rather than single projects. It accepts EXR, TIF, DNG and RAW images, trains and renders above 4K and in 16- or 32-bit HDR, adds a command-line interface for batch jobs, aligns scenes automatically with AprilTags and imports BlocksExchange and Pix4D OPF data.

Prices are listed in euros and exclude VAT, which is added at checkout. The page can switch to GBP, JPY or USD, but those figures are separate list prices, so budget in the currency you will actually pay and do not convert the euro figures yourself.

• Indie: 26 EUR a month on monthly billing, or 17 EUR a month as 204 EUR billed yearly.
• Studio: 59 EUR a month on monthly billing, or 39 EUR a month as 468 EUR billed yearly.
• Several licences can be bought at once with the licence counter on the pricing page.

The capturing guidelines treat input quality as the ceiling on results. Scenes must be static, since moving people, lights or shadows cause blur and ghosting. Avoid on-camera flash, and do not pan or tilt from a fixed position, because tracking needs the camera to move between shots.

For objects, the guide suggests two to five rings around the subject at different heights, with 30 to 50 percent overlap between images. Postshot typically uses only 2 to 3 frames per second of imported video, so walk slowly and keep shutter speeds short to avoid motion blur.

The homepage says your content stays on your devices, with all processing and machine learning run on hardware you control. The EULA says Jawset may collect technical data about the device and system for licence management and support, and that this data does not include your content.

Content leaves your machine only if you send it, for example with a bug report. The EULA grants Jawset a perpetual licence to use content provided for testing, while promising not to publish it, so send only scenes you are allowed to share.

1. Record the Postshot version, GPU model and video length.
2. Import the video with default training settings and note the training time.
3. Orbit the trained scene and look for floaters, holes and blurred areas near the chair legs.
4. Render a short camera move close to the capture path and check for the Free watermark.
5. Save the scene and note that it can be reopened only on Free.

Accept a scene in which the chair keeps its shape from the capture angles and the render shows no large floating artefacts. Reject a scene with missing legs, heavy ghosting or tracking failure. Leave the observed result and timings blank until the exercise is run.

To add depth motion to a single photo instead of capturing a whole scene, see Immersity AI. For other work that runs on your own GPU, compare FramePack for video generation and Topaz Video for upscaling rendered footage.
