Your drone. Your photos. Your 3D model.

Capture

The right drone is the one you already own.

You don’t need a specialized drone. Good coverage and consistent overlap matter much more than the model you fly.

Capture
with overlap

From your photographs to a model you can explore.

01 / CAPTURE

Connect the views.

Photograph the visible sides and roof from different positions. Include views around corners so adjacent sides belong to one connected set.

Read the capture guide

02 / BUILD

Let Crown process it.

Choose 3D Model in Studio, select your files, and review the current project allowance before starting the upload. Once upload finishes and processing starts, you can leave the page and return later.

03 / REVIEW

Explore and download.

Orbit the completed model and compare important areas with your photographs. Download the GLB for a compatible viewer or further editing. Check that it opens in your intended application.

Inspect. Trim. Annotate.

Take a closer look at your model, trim unwanted areas, and record your observations.

One building is a useful starting point

Good coverage gives the model something to work with.

Choose a subject you can photograph clearly from different sides. Keep the building near the centre of each frame and include the roof as well as the facades. Photos around each corner help connect one side to the next.

A missing view is not solved by adding more copies of another view. If an important surface is hidden or absent from every photograph, do not expect a reliable reconstruction of it.

The building photography guide explains what to check before leaving the site, how to prepare your photographs, and what to review in the finished model.

Learn what to photograph

Before your first project.

Do I need a specialist drone or a powerful computer?

A regular consumer drone can provide suitable photographs. Clear images and connected coverage matter. Reconstruction runs on Crown; your device handles file selection, upload, and viewing. Check the accepted files and project limits in Studio.

Can I make a building model from one photograph?

Crown's photogrammetry workflow needs a connected set of overlapping views. One photograph cannot show every side of a building. Use the capture guide to plan a set that describes the surfaces you need.

Do I need Blender?

You can upload, process, preview, and download through Crown's browser workflow. A separate editor can help if the result needs cleanup or you want to prepare it for another purpose.

Can I use drone video?

Crown accepts a compatible video and prepares frames in your browser. The raw video stays on your device; the selected photographs are uploaded when you start processing. Moving around the subject and keeping views connected still matters.

What file can I download?

A completed 3D Model project provides a textured GLB file. You can explore it in Crown or open the download in an application that supports GLB, including Blender. A 2D map or stitched image is a separate project outcome.

How accurate will my 3D model be?

Results depend on image sharpness, surface detail, and how well your photographs cover and connect the building. Missing surfaces, reflections, and blur can leave gaps or distortions. Compare the model with your originals; some results need cleanup. Crown produces visualizations, not certified surveys or engineering documents. Verify important dimensions independently.

What will my project cost?

Check current plans and pay-as-you-go options before selecting your files. Studio shows the allowance for your account and project. Existing showcase models are examples, not a statement of your current upload limit.

Safe to leave this page. Processing continues on Crown 3D Studio. An unsupported capture or confirmed platform failure restores the reserved processing credit. Cancelling a running job does not.

Crown validates the result you selected Beta

Flat wall, floor, or vault surface

Move parallel to the surface, keep the distance steady, and leave most of the previous view visible in each photo.

Building, object, or aerial site

Orbit a subject from several heights for 3D, or fly a downward-looking GPS grid for an aerial map. Crown chooses the engine, but never replaces your selected outcome with a different kind of result.

Crown can attempt a connected photo set in 3D; additional viewpoints usually improve completeness.
For a complete building, take sharp, well-lit photos from several heights and every visible side.
Keep plenty of the previous view visible as you move around the subject.
Photograph the subject from multiple angles.
For one building, keep that building near the centre of each photograph and include the roof plus every visible side.
Avoid blurry images.
Avoid reflective, transparent or moving subjects, and major lighting changes.
More photographs do not automatically produce a better model.
Missing overlap cannot be repaired in software. If groups do not connect, Crown identifies where bridging photos are needed.
Very large photographs are optimized for processing; your originals are not changed.
Uploaded photographs must be yours or authorized for your use.

Crown 3D Studio provides automated photogrammetry and visualization outputs. Results are not certified surveys, engineering documents, or legal boundary determinations. Accuracy depends on your equipment, capture method, image quality, overlap, GPS information, environmental conditions, and processing settings. Independently verify results before relying on them for professional, legal, construction, engineering, navigation, safety-critical, or financial decisions.
