I’m looking for an image based modeling software " or other type if faster and less setup " thats free preferably and actually works. Tried some but get erradic point clouds that are useless.
I’ll be using to obtain more accurate mask and reflections etc in blender w cam tracking.
Thanks,

Look at CADtools extension, I am developing for Blender 2.49. It can be used for image based 3d-reconstruction.
Well what did you actually try?
That’s not what he’s looking for…
I understand that he’s looking for a tool that synthesizes geometry from images automatically.
I’m interested also on this topic.
So far I’ve tried PPT-gui ( http://www.arc-team.homelinux.com/arcteam/ppt.php ) and 123D Catch. But all of them are not good for scanning reflective objects like cars (the subject i’m interested on). I have seen VideoTrace, different concept from the previous, and it looks good, I will give it a try.
I don’t actually need a “good” model, I only need to calculate the 3D position of some points (with correct proportion), then I will model by hand what I need. If someone has alternatives to those sw let me know. 
CAD tools can do this?
AFAIK, no photogrammetry application can reconstruct shiny or transparent surfaces, so you’ll hav eto do some work manually.
