Yes the Israelian company is Datumate http://www.datumate.com, and a friend told me about Holistic company http://holistic-imaging.com that is a good competitor in terms of DSM and DTM.
It will be planned that RC could have a filtering tool to have a DTM from a DSM ? Like in Photoscan or Pix4d ?

DTM a DSM as you write about it speeds, yes that possible when you do 2,5D reconstruction that is OK for “light weight orthos” and easy DTM
if need properly reconstructed areas where are buildings and etc then need good and full 3D reconstruction not the pseudo 2,5D reconstruction like “heightfield” named in agi

we have DTM and DSM already in RC 
Hey rivet,
I have been looking into Datumate or rather Datugram a bit but it seems that it is not point cloud based but rather old school photogrammtetry where you have to select each point you are interested in separately in each image, although point clouds might be aqired in some way at a later point. Another huge difference is that you can only use one camera with a fixed lens. So considering that it’s not really a direct competitor…
Ok for Datumate. RC is in this competitors list 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compariso … y_software
This page is very up to date :!: RC for €99-15000 (Free Demo)
Thanks for the link - couldn’t find it anymore… 
The software listed covers all kinds of different approaches though.
And aspect3D is missing, for example… 
Wishgranter - thanks for the reply, I’ll be sure to post some questions about specific cases in the near future;) I agree that RC addresses many of the weaknesses in the competition, and as I said I think 400/year is actually fair enough for this quality. Still think Edu license should be an option… but in general I am impressed by your work.
I’m working as the Technical Manager for the center of digital fabrication at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. I’ve been doing this for the past 8 years, assisting students, teachers and researchers in their digital fabrication needs (3D scanning, 3D printing, CNC and digital modelling), as well as using the technology for my own art and research. I use photogrammetry as my primary 3D scanning tool (replacing both laser and structured light) for everything from single objects (teeth, stones, bones, furniture etc.) to buildings, interiors and landscapes with the use of UAV’s which I also design specifically for this purpose. I was most impressed by RC results over competing solutions in a project I did in Spitsbergen where I scanned a beach littered with bones from whaling 100 years ago - RC performed exceptionally in the fine detail of single bones and blew all the others off their feet:) So, as you can understand, I’m pretty convinced. But proper instructions is a point of principle;)

For the HELP file
is use F1 get help file directly in application. Yes it not covering every part of the sw but for you work mostly need just to change points detected per images and get good captured cameras with simple photogrmmetric use in mind. Not need cahnge anything in meshing use NORMAL or HIGH and get best possible results. the meshing part is very well designed and from the years of use we need to change them in just very specific cases that causal user not get into…
If need help im very well known person who is willing to help you out if stuck somewhere in the process. so feel free to ask in the forum if get in some issues with RC …
Hi Wishgranter,
Knowing you are willing to offer help on the forum is a boon for RC.

Thanx, for the EDU and etc we have some internal talks about it already in last months, but at least we have not EDU licensing options ready.

OK, yes it can be frustrating with the HELP but at least for now we try do it by personal assistance if get in issues because the help cannot explain everything and in most cases it the solution a bit about explaining how to improve it as a whole workflow.
Or we can offer even on site training as its the best way for the users to get experienced help.
