3 Reasons why Matterport Service Providers must start charging Hosting Fees

DanSmigrod

2 daysbryanhscott (136): @DanSmigrod I agree that for a smaller quantity of spaces under new pricing, it is clearly more costly per space when you are not using the quantity of spaces that comes with the MP subscription level. No question about that. My motivation was to not lose money, while attempting to keep pace with the competition, most of whom do not charge for hosting now, but may in the future. This said, if I only have 12 spaces up and backed up by paying...

1 monthWingman (490): No it won't be. Whatever you submit to GSV from Matterport becomes hosted by Google so you can archive or even delete that submitted model from your cloud account. However for the model to be hosted on a website it needs to be active(public). After you archive the model it stops being public and the website where it has been hosted will stop displaying it.

Both say essentially the same thing (more or less), but one approach (to me) is clearly more acceptable than the other... Having been in the service business in one form or another for 40+ years (all service-based), I can safely (and, thankfully) attest that most Customers do not select a supplier/vendor based on availability of a 100% Money Back Guarantee.

1 yearMetroplex360 (9200): @mori I agree completely. Give out the 50k OBJ file and label it 'BASIC OBJ' - For hobbiests and enthusiasts. And then have 'PRO OBJ' with high resolution textures with the MatterPak. I believe that the people who want the OBJ files for recreational purposes are unlikely to purchase Matterpak and the people who actually want the 3D data will gladly pay.

Even if Real Estate agents were inclined to dive into this- and most, most definitely are not..... it just doesn't add up for an agent in terms of time/money invested and lost focus. With the cost of a camera, ancillary gear, hosting fees, learning curve, time spent on shoots, post production, keeping up with new developments.... the only way it remotely makes financial sense is making tours for a LOT of listings....

Interactivity: always protecting the experience as it is. Even with other potential interactive elements, careful not to break the state of being in narrative.

But for now these mountains are filled with pretty gold flakes!

You can use the "trim" process to clean up these anomalies. It is not difficult and only takes a minute. Then you re-upload your file and have it re-processed. They do not charge you for that. I agree with the Beckers regarding taking still captures from the Matterport scans. They are excellent. Most of the time, I...
