I used the Epic Games Reality Scan app to make my first 3D model –and I'm blown away by the results

Epic Games Reality Scan Apple test.

I very recently discovered that Epic Games has an app capable of scanning real-world items, and converting them into highly detailed 3D models. These models can be imported into your creative projects using some of the best 3D modelling software and are compatible with game engines like Unreal Engine 5 too.

Reality Scan is one of the coolest apps on my phone right now, and it's 100% free to use. As someone who's really into 3D printers, this opens up a whole new creative avenue for me to finally start creating my own models to print, instead of searching online for free STL files. This app allowed me to convert a regular apple into a 3D print (more on this later).
