ImFusion GmbH has released version 1.3 of its 3D scanning software RecFusion which allows to interactively create 3D scans of objects in color using a depth sensor such as the Microsoft Kinect. New features in version 1.3 include improved mesh coloring giving scanned objects a more realistic appearance as well as the ability to export the mesh color as UV-texture. UV-texture export allows easier import of the colored mesh into 3rd-party modeling applications which do not directly support vertex-based color representations. In addition the scan reinitialization algorithm was improved enabling a more robust scan experience. Next to these major improvements several smaller usability and functionality updates such as more efficient storage for sequences are included in the new version.

A free evaluation version with reduced export functionality is available at http://www.recfusion.net. The full version is priced at 99€.
