| I did this yesterday and it worked a treat, I was scanning a monster 15000 sq ft £3m home and it was a beautiful sunny day, I didn't have time to wait about for the sun to move as you can imagine, so here is what I did. Maybe I am not the first person to do this but I thought you may want to see the results Before I entered the room I closed the curtains to stop the sunlight coming in I then scanned the room in 6 places. I then opened the curtains and scanned in basically the same 6 scan locations I am now planning to disable the original six scan locations in workshop and I am left with a perfect dollhouse with no black areas as you can see. its the 2 bedrooms at the bottom of the image See also screen grabs from workshop inside the room. This still doesn't solve the issue I have with new build show homes which I scan regularily which are all painted bright white inside and have no blinds or curtains. So please matterport keep looking into this issue I know this seems time consuming but I timed myself and it took an extra 5 mins to do this room twice, I did 4 rooms this way so i added 20 mins to a 7-8 shoot. I would rather that than having to return at a later date. Give it a go you have nothing to lose    |

| Yeah....F!@#$ that. ...and after thinking about it... SIX scans for that room? Haha. Jeez. I'm sure I would have made one simple scan right in the front/middle of the bed and moved on. Now...for the Sensitives out there...I say all of this even keeled and with a smile on my face. I apparently just do my business a little different, that's all. :-) |

| I get it. Totally. I'm doing a 30,000 sf commercial space tomorrow near Trump Tower in Chicago and I'll be going the extra mile as it's a first time client and a new possible window. | ||

@3dshowcaseuk I have done that too... but when there are not curtains to close what do you do? I have to finish the rest of the apartment and wait for the sun to come down to re-do those rooms with bright light  |

| StevenHatten - you just say what I'm thinking but too afraid to say! I've been a "closet" quick-scanner for the last year - cutting corners and scans anywhere I feel like it won't be catastrophic. I respect those that are out there doing the best possible job. But for me - it's business - and time is money. If I can burn through and increase my $ per hour, I'm all in. I save my perfectionism for other pursuits. It was a relief when you first posted that you don't strive for perfection on every shoot. I figured I was the only one! | ||

| Have you SEEN my scans? I STRIVE for doing the absolute LEAST amount of scans but still maintain professionalism. I couldn't care less about what that dollhouse view looks like. So far, 100% of my clients don't either. I just shake my head when I see 90% of the jobs out there. OMG. What a COLOSSAL waste of time that no one (customers) even gives a S!@# about. Horribly needless scans all over the place. I'm so anal about time that when I place the camera, I place it to where I can approach it when it's 3/4 done scanning. In other words, I point the camera AWAY from the point where I'll enter the room. This way, I can approach it and waiting behind it when it finishes. My goal is to have it set up and ready before I'm even able to START the next scan. If there is a ten second delay I start to analyze why it took so long and figure ways to eliminate the waste. |

| Haha..I think. I just 'speak' to the forum as if I've been your friend since we learned how to ride bikes together. However, since I'm NOT anyone's friend, my types of responses are not expected and it raises eyebrows. I always tell people, if you were in front of me hearing and seeing my responses, you would never take offense. |

| We've tried to do something similar recently but the camera would not align after the curtains had been closed/opened. Surprised you got it to work? I had a nightmare today with some new build properties, massive holes in the scans. I had to go back once the sun had moved and it still wouldn't fill in the holes. Really not cool. I think mp need to look at the camera performance in these conditions. | ||

| VPRM please email ma Tterport support with as much detail as possible. The situation in new builds is a nightmare I could t even get in the door of a large room last week. The more people bring this to their attention the sooner we get a resolution |

| We would LOVE to drastically reduce the scan-count, but every time we try to do that, we wind up with alignment issues and have to do it all over again. What's your secret? | ||

| @stevenhattan I couldn't agree more with your sentiments! As a matter of fact, I have spoken with my clients extensively about what matters most to them with a Matterport Showcase. They almost ALWAYS have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask them if they prefer to have a perfect dollhouse with no holes. I never intentionally set out to do a half-ass job, ever! But, with all sorts of Tom, Dick and Harry's buying Matterport cameras these days offering .10 per sq foot pricing, I will be damned if I'm going to break my back worrying about perfect dollhouses to compete with that. I say all the time I'm going to offer two price structures (Standard & Premiere), but have never implemented them. And by the way, generally what matters most to my Realtor clients is the impression a homeowner has when I show up and put on a technological show. My clients tell me all the time how much WOW factor they receive from their sellers after we leave. That important impression that the Realtor has put their own skin in the game to sell their house by hiring my company. That gives the Realtor leverage when it's time to have that discussion with their seller as to why it's time to lower the price of the house when it hasn't sold. |

| @3dshowcaseuk I do exactly this - we market ourselves as a premium supplier so I will move heaven and earth to make sure my models are nice and tidy and have no holes! Only thing with doing this is that you will notice that sometimes the model itself will have the curtains shut - which isn't ideal! |

Quote:Originally Posted by StevenHattan As @Gransky stated - My suggestion to you, and all of you silly 'dollhouse be damned' folks -- When you market your services, market both a Matterport WITH and WITHOUT dollhouse. An incomplete dollhouse looks terrible, and you CAN disable the dollhouse view in Showcase. |
