KIRI Engine review

KIRI Engine is built for people who want a usable 3D model from photos without paying. Its pricing page says the free Basic plan includes Photo Scan photogrammetry with up to 150 photos and 2 GB per scan, 4K textures, unlimited usage and free exports in formats such as OBJ, FBX, STL and GLB, plus LiDAR room and object scans and access to the web app. The company says it avoids ads, watermarks and paywalls on export formats. Pro costs $79.99 a year, equal to $6.66 a month, and raises limits to 300 photos and 5 GB, adds 8K textures, Gaussian splatting, quad mesh retopology, AI PBR materials and auto rigging. The App Store listing adds a Featureless Object Scan for shiny items. Setup takes more care than a one-tap photo effect, since good scans need many overlapping photos. It holds 4.4 from 1.3K ratings.
