3DF Zephyr Tutorials
We designed 3DF Zephyr to be a user friendly and easy to use powerful tool. You can get up & running in few minutes and create your first 3D reconstruction with few clicks.
We have an extensive documentation that can answer almost all questions as well as a forum where you can ask the developers directly for assistance or to give us feedback.
As we keep developing 3DF Zephyr, we are also publishing tutorials with tips & tricks of the trade. Feel free to give us feedback on which tutorial you would like to see next!
We encourage questions and dicussions: feel free to ask anything on our forums or on our 3Dflow Academy Facebook Group
