Do we join the French "Gilets Jaunes" by donning yellow vests? Or do we, enmasse, join hands and tell them we're all going to switch to Cupix or (scarier yet) Zillow 3D Home, if they don't?

2 daysHome3D (388): Simply deliver double what they’re paying for on every project. I throw in Zillow videos with any assignment for HDR stills or Matterport.

[R&D] MatterPortal: MP + Portals in VR

1 yearMontreal3D (184): Mori, I also believe that the mesh / point cloud quality from the MP could be much better. If we could get access to the Raw Data from the Camera, this would give us to opportunity to try it out. Since the Point Cloud format does not include scan location, it is very hard to use it for remeshing....All we can do is use it has a template for remodeling. Guess that's the price to pay for a turn-key cloud based solution.

The difference between what a visualization company like ARX Solutions provides and what you provide with a MP Showcase is no comparison, nor in the same ball park for cost. Where to learn? Start with something simple like SketchUp and take some online classes in 3D design, then move into animation and game engines like Unity 3D.

2 yearsjfantin (1594): MP and GSV are two different animals that happen to use similar concepts.

The dollhouse is a killer feature for some customers (although not to everybody). While with Google StreetView you get more exposure because any time a user searchs for a business or a...
