For indie game developers, level designers, and VR/AR creators, translating real-world environments into digital spaces has traditionally required massive budgets or heavily time-consuming photogrammetry workflows. With the launch of the 3DMakerpro Raven LiDAR Spatial Scanner, creators now have a more accessible way to scan real-world spaces and convert them into usable 3D assets for pipelines including Unreal Engine, Unity, and other 3D workflows.
About 3DMakerpro
Before diving into the hardware, it is worth knowing the innovators behind it. 3DMakerpro is a leading provider of professional, cost-effective 3D scanners. Founded with a mission to make high-precision 3D technology accessible and user-friendly, the company operates globally, backed by a dedicated R&D team with over a decade of expertise in optics, electronics, and machine vision.
Now, they are taking their expertise into large-scale spatial capture with the Raven Series—truly designed to be “Your personal LiDAR spatial scanner”.

A LiDAR Scanner Built for Real-World Environment Capture
The Raven series is a portable LiDAR spatial scanner capable of capturing large environments quickly and accurately. For developers working on realistic worlds, scanning real spaces dramatically reduces modeling time while preserving authentic geometry. Equipped with a 905nm Class 1 eye-safe laser, Raven captures up to 150,000 points per second, achieving an accuracy of 20mm at 10 meters, 30mm at 20 meters, and 50mm at 40 meters. With a scanning range of 80 to 100 meters, it can capture everything from indoor spaces to outdoor locations.
Built for Mobility and Field Scanning
Weighing only 1.1 kg, Raven features a modular 12,000mAh battery grip for up to 2 hours of continuous scanning, with optional external power for extended sessions. A 3.9-inch AMOLED display (700 nits) provides real-time scan monitoring, even in bright outdoor conditions.
RGB Capture and 360° Camera Expansion
Raven includes a 12MP RGB camera for true-to-life color capture alongside LiDAR data. For full-scene immersion, external 360° camera integration is supported, enabling high-fidelity textures and 3D Gaussian splatting workflows for photorealistic VR and XR scenes.
Why Raven Is Useful for Game Environment Creation
Scanning real locations accelerates world-building workflows for environment artists and level designers.
Common use cases:
- Interior spaces for level design
- Urban environments or landscapes for open-world games
- Digitizing props and architectural elements
This approach allows developers to create immersive worlds while reducing asset production time.
RayStudio Software and Export Formats
The Raven ecosystem also comes with RayStudio, a free software from 3DMakerpro for processing scan data. RayStudio enables point cloud denoising, data filtering, and spatial reconstruction to produce clean, high-quality datasets.
Export formats: PLY (3D color point cloud), PLY (3D Gaussian splatting), OBJ (textured mesh), compatible with Unreal Engine, Unity, and other 3D pipelines.
