Yes, I see there is another with a similar situation. Remake on a local machine was letting me "build" a segment of documentarians who would eventually purchase a "local" permit, or license, to use the software in the field. I agree that using a phone to upload images, wait, download, proof, correct and etc. is not at all practical for archaeological study or capture of cultural artifacts. With a "local" program producing the models, we can send an images by phone to advisers and scholars to assess findings. Without the ability to field-process, plus the cost to process in the cloud, the use of 3D documentation by field archaeologists is gone.
I can't see where there were so many people exploring uses for Remake that they presented a challenge to the profitability of Autodesk. The issue for me is that my approach to initiate the preservation of historic industries was built on the ability of stakeholders to produce 3D discussion models. That work now must be modified and funding found for Agisoft Photoscan ($3499) with the ability to measure and geo-locate...probably won't happen.
