2 monthsJonJ (1507): The fact of the matter is that is possible to make a decent living as a real estate photographer. $1000 a week is not a bad wage, especially considering that photographers as a whole only make around $35k a year and the median household income in the US is about $56k annually. So, this begs the question, What is a realistic income expectation for a real estate photographer and/or Matterport Service Provider? I would say that it is certainly...

On her end, she has the capability to edit/move/align the scans individually, something that we don't have access to. I'm not sure of the actual process but she managed to put it in proper order. I now have a huge appreciation for her role at MP and what she was able to do for me.

4 monthsJonJ (1507): @Wonderdawg, I have found that the best approach to creating a space where the doors appear to open and shut as in @Queen_City_3D's example is to first scan the entire space with all of the doors open. You will want to be sure that you have a scan on each side of the open door. Once this as been done, you will want to re-scan each room with the doors shut. You only need to scan in actual spots where you want the viewer to navigate. Also, you do...

The new 'Marker' implementation from MP acould also be valuable if you decide to give it a try with your MP and face issues with alignment Good luck!

As you walk through it, either they deleted a great number of scans, or did just the bare minimum to create the dollhouse. At any rate, it's very large indeed.

2 yearssbl110 (280): Hi Queen_city_3D, Not sure what the client is unhappy about. Your scan points are more frequent and closer together allowing the viewer better angles of the art. In the Mirus Art Gallery sample, it seems like there are large gaps between scans. While I've never scanned a venue like this, I think that it would be interesting to have lowered the camera for some of the views of the statues. Other than that, I prefer yours over the Mirus Art...

Matterport pricing -- did I miss something?

2 yearstocha (166): I have suggested to Matterport several times that they created a graduated pay per number of scans schedule that would allow for more experimentation and discovery. For example: 4.95 for up to 10 scans, 9.95 for 11-50, $19 for 100. I believe it would foster more innovation and income opportunities for us and for Matterport.
