My issues with labeling in the layout view are two primarily. 1 little to no automated labeling for commercial properties and 2 if the area is an open plan you have to construct your own walls to get dimensions for areas that aren't...

Tip for generating more income: How I made $1,000 via Airbnd and VRBO fotoguy 3 2 monthsGlennTremain (2657): I would put terms and conditions on your site and on invoices put the link to it so disclosure is prominent but discreet. Many photographers release copyright so if you have it on your site and in order forms and invoices you protect yourself and not have a negative spot on your brand even though you are in the right. Also don't make it prominent in your email signature or in invoices........just a link to "terms &...

Video: 5 Mistakes New Real Estate Photographers Make DanSmigrod 3 7 monthsBuster6070 (136): Great tips. Really like the first one on getting above the bottom plain if the cabinets. However don't agree with the 2 wall approach of shooting rooms. I feel including just the edge of a third wall gives the room depth and perspective. Otherwise it looks like you went around shooting corners of a room and viewers have no idea what the real shape and size are. But great thing about our job is it's very subjective.

Tip: (Video) How to Photoshop a 360 within a Matterport Tour for Android DanSmigrod 2 11 monthsBuster6070 (136): Both are new to me. I use my iPad to scan, but have a Pixel 6 Pro for a phone. Can't wait to try this on my next scan. This is an advantage iGUIDE has had over Matterport. I never understood why Matterport doesn't just add this feature. Still not something I would incorporate into my workflow to adjust white balance or fix minor details. Just too many steps. But for his example it's perfect.

I like the idea of offering (90) days free - then charging maybe a 6mo or 12mo option to extend hosting. (I might need to have a trigger that alerts me after ~85 days to inquire if they want to extend...)
Has anyone ever scanned a department/retail store? rhelling 4 1 yearWingman (4158): I do not believe it is good idea for a shop to skip any isle or shelf if the purpose of a tour to drive more shoppers to an actual store. So even when a customer asks to update their old tour that has been captured with a dslr and is kind of hot spots jumping type where panos can be 5-10 meters away from each other I will always offer more detailed digital walkthrough with a Matterport. These two tours are not for big stores but they have...
Matterport Scanning Tips for Accuracy? Olegred 3 1 yearWingman (4158): if it is just for a floor plan it depends on geometry of a space and how far a lidar that is being used can see. Some rooms say small bedrooms may need just one scan in the middle to capture all distances in x, y and z and one scan close to a doorway to capture it and provide enough points for registration for any space behind that doorway where you are going to do another scan. However even for bedrooms one scan may be not enough as for a built...
My Outdoor space with Ricoh THETA Z1 360; your thoughts? ImperialProperties 2 1 yearron0987 (2713): @ImperialProperties overall it looks really good. Very minor point, turn the lights on in all rooms prior to scanning, when standing in the one room as your viewing the room the bathroom lights are off and the room appears dark. It’s not as inviting as when the lights are on. Overall looks really good.

Who likes memes? Carson 2 1 yearPhilly (83): I've checked into openhaus a few times, but it just kind of irks me that you claim simple pricing, no hidden fees, yet hide them behind a sales lead form. I'd love to think of ways to sell your product and apply them in the real world, but can't even do that without knowing how or what your charge. "Give us your info and we will tell you what we want you to pay" is not very enticing to me.

MSP with Pro3? 10 Thought-Starters for Charging for Scanning OUTDOOR Spaces DanSmigrod 2 1 yearExpertise (1178): We are 98% residential. My thought right now is to keep our current pricing structure and just do an add-on for exterior scanning. Less than 1/4 acre, 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre, 1/2 acre to 1 acre. More than acre > quote. We currently offer 2 residential interior MP choices. 1- living space only, not including garage (only available as add-on to photo shoot) 2- all under roof spaces including garage and covered porches, free floorplan

Matterport — Baby Steps into the Metaverse Carson 5 2 yearsWingman (4158): None, because Matterport has not been created for 3D so they cannot built a good 3D model. You can hover use it to collect some 3D data and then manually clean & fix it. Sure it is faster than doing it from a scratch but still should cost a few 1000s to build a clean 3D model with realistic textures from a Matterport tour and Matterpack.

Matterport Pro 2 Accuracy cammar 4 2 yearsSpencerLasky (398): Has anyone gotten and used the Revit File - scan to BIM service they offer?

I'm not a Revit software useer so I just have to hand it off. Spencer

Auctioning a Matterport NFT (for $187,000 or more) Worldof3D 22 3 yearsCharlesHH (640): @Wingman one of the weird things about NFTs is that you can make a video and post it on YouTube where it is seen by 10 million viewers.

Advice for scanning large spaces (Galleries, Museums etc) tinsoldier 9 3 yearsbriangreul (684): I generally will do at least one overlapping scan. Sometimes I'll do 2 or 3, just depends on how squirrely the space is. I will also sometimes force close the app and reboot the camera to make it start over with alignment. The alignment algorithm seems to be weighted to the last 3 to 5 scans. There are sometimes good reasons to jump around with large spaces, especially when coming around the core of a building.

Demand for video tours 8643d 16 3 yearsHome3D (3600): I agree that "slideshow videos" which some older agents still refer to as 'virtual tours' are boring, redundant, and make an agent look WAY behind the times.

Can't Place 360 Degree Pano, Basement Floor showing as part of Main PropertyGuyCLT 3 4 yearsleonherbert (903): @PropertyGuyCLT Yes you can only associate 360 with actual floors. Occasionally even though you may add a section as a floor by itself the AI will consider it as one part of the floor below or above it, and vice versa. As @bryanhscott said I would shoot a few shots on the basement floor. You can always switch of those pucks.
Race to the Bottom Pricing Wonderdawg 2 4 yearsExpertise (1178): I price in a way that I calculate works best for my business, and my employees. Period. I have been offering Matterport as an affordable add-on to our photography services. Pricing is based on that. My goal has been to grow our customer base of agents, and have a higher percentage of those folks consider Matterport scans to be a part of their marketing package, and include it in their listing sales pitch. Then I'd like more agents to...
Scanning with multiple floors (no stairs) Wonderdawg 6 4 yearsWingman (4158): You can leave scans on steps in case somebody wants to walk them so elevator buttons will be just for those who do not want to go through steps. A deep link can be accessed if you press the "U" key on your keyboard. You will need to be in your tour opened in an internet browser, find the spot you want to create a deep link for and then press "U".
My Virtual Open House Hack GETMYVR 14 4 yearsWingman (4158): I have checked it today and I actually like it. I do not like their prices though in terms of how many active tours they provide. They seem to follow Matterport example limiting users to 25 tours for $90/month However the good thing for me that they show their price in AUD so it makes it cheaper than Matterport.

Creating new portal BULLA66 4 4 yearsbryanhscott (843): @BULLA66 Your portal concept sounds like another way for a listing agent, or perhaps an unrepresented owner/seller to advertise a listing. Assuming your portal does bring the buyer, and further assuming the listing agent is under agreement with the owner/seller to offer a buyer-agent commission side, then you bring the buyer and get paid the buyer-agent commission at closing. This works if you, or someone on your team is licensed properly to...

Marking tours "private" Wonderdawg 2 4 yearsChemistrydoc (1769): It would be better if your account allows you to archive scans.

If you'll make a set of staged panoramas and put them in the reprocessing tab they would affect the model, but it won't be 100% correct.

Tip: How to create a 3D aerial fly-in with DroneDeploy and GeoCV DanSmigrod 7 5 yearsAntonYakubenko (686): I doubt it would work.

I doubt externally sourced imagery would be sufficient. Moreover we require regular images, not 360 panos for 3D model extraction. 360 panos though could be used as Highlights and Fly-through in addition to 3D scan.

Look at Zillow: listings with Video have a big clear “VIDEO” button begging to be clicked, and I suspect Zillow will do as much or more with their...

Insurance Claims TopPiX51 7 5 yearssbl110 (285): Hi @TopPiX51, Just my two cents on this pricing thing. Whenever I do a shoot, I order 2D schematics, then invoice based on the total square footage scanned. I've had homes where the reported square footage was 8K plus, but after I'm done, it may work out to less than that.

What Services did you try out in 2017 VTLV 5 6 yearsJonJ (1760): @Helen, I have set myself up using ViewShoot and after looking into it a bit more, there are some significant limitations for what I am trying to accomplish. Overall, I think it is a good system, but it lacks the ability to embed Matterport tours onto their "virtual tour" sites. I work with some clients with special pricing and there is no way for me to provide them with separate pricing or with a coupon code to adjust their pricing....

How you Scan inside cars ? DroneProjects 17 6 yearssbl110 (285): Hi Dan, This was one of those "let's try this for fun" scans. My son photographs cars for a living and he gets his hands on some pretty nice rides every now and then. It's not often that one gets to play with a $177,000.00 vehicle. As an alternative, I was going to try and scan a Smart car as a comparison! Not sure the Matterport camera would even fit. Another reason is that it allows me to experiment with Mattertags. This...

We received a 20% discount, which was OK, but not great IMO. I think he was being a little greedy and shortsighted. I really wanted 30% or 35%. So... We have a new Matterport camera on order now. If he had given me 35% off we probably would have continued subcontracting.

Effect of Camera Height Richierichks 15 7 yearscraigsauer (1075): I'm just finding this thread as I'm searching for threads about verticals. I'm hoping to get some opinion from Matterport with regards to this issue now that they are really marketing the new camera as providing sufficiently high quality captures to use for real estate marketing stills. I'm pretty unconvinced, primarily because of the issue of the verticals in the Matterport images. Whenever I capture images (primarily for Guided Tours) I...

Preschool Marketing Dept. Concerns 3SixtyNow 3 7 yearsOpenHouseOptics (208): Statistics show that people go where they are familiar - if anything, them seeing it online will encourage a site visit AND increase enrollment because parents feel like they KNOW the environment.

HDR BackUp Q Outside Matterport Services VTLV 3 7 yearsHarlanHambright (2073): 1. It is redundant to shoot RAW for HDR. Except for tweaking color temp, the HDR process is giving you as much dynamic range that RAW will, so shooting in-camera JPEG will alleviate a lot of storage issues. And you can color correct a jpeg just as easily. 2. After you have processed your HDR files, you can delete the original camera files. I have only on a few occasions re-processed old camera files and that was because early HDR was pretty...

If the cars were to be in a direct line of site opposite the house is the worry point for me.

3D Showcase vs Direct Sunlight Conditions matthew 6 7 yearsJonJ (1760): I agree with Douglas with regards to how this scan is possible. By my estimation, the camera is set to a height of only 3 ft 6 inches. The scan positions are also very close together. The third thing that makes this possible is the fact that all of the surfaces available are solid. This allows for sufficient structures to allow for correlation of scan points. Also important to note is the fact that the dollhouse view is very incomplete....
mp2sqft.com - New interface... working? ArchimedStudio 6 7 yearsMetroplex360 (9435): MP2SQFT uses data that Matterport generated from the patched OBJ that is seen in showcase. The patched OBJ is the OBJ generated by the tour with areas that were missing data 'filled in'. JuMP uses the downloadable OBJ file without the patched data. That's why there's a discrepancy. I'm fairly confident that both JuMP and Matterport are calculating SQFT based on surface area of the OBJ files. If JuMP were to intercept the OBJ file used by...

So you may want to choose your assistant's name in their account to be reflective of how you want their work to show.

Best Camera Height? Helen 5 7 yearsaristepp (58): I agree completely. I started shooting at the recommended 60 inches and I found that I shot a lot of ceiling space and that it was so high that my photos were oddly lobbed off at the bottom. 60 inches is just too high. 4.5 to 5 is right. No matter how high the ceiling is, you don't want lobbed off images and I sell a lot of packages, image and walk through.

If the camera can see the top of the ring when scanning from the floor, you will just add additional geometry. If you were to add a second floor(i.e. the ring), Matterport would most likely combine in the stitching and publishing and give you back only one floor.

My question is can we use something to back up these iPads, save the models because I may want to add to these? And be able to drag them in and out of these app as needed. I think I know the answer -...

Matterport Case George_WALKINTOUR 7 7 yearsGeorge_WALKINTOUR (85): Yes, like what JonJ said, like an Otterbox.

Limiting the Horizon Line of Matterport? srennick 3 7 yearsterrygrant (34): We install floor and wall tiles so have much the same issue sometimes. What I have done is to set the camera lower on the tripod, you have to experiment a little. This reduces the size of the blurred area on the floor and has the advantage of not seeing the camera in any mirrors. I guess if you set it very low then you would certainly be more focused on the floor. Good Luck. Terry

Questions from a prospect....advice? VRealExperience 2 7 yearsDSPhoto (112): You license the work to them based on how they plan on using it. More exposure and time means more money How you go about that is a whole other ball game. Other random thoughts: Remember to keep licensing fees seperate from production fees. Do not qoute a price that combines production with licensing. It makes it hard to place proper value to each. Avoid licensing for more 3 years at a time and list the licensing for a second year.

If not you will eventually pay for the hosting of your clients scan out of your own pocket. As for what that licensing fee should be? Good question.

Time Saver Tip!!! How to Move Many Scans judysmithre 6 8 yearscraigsauer (1075): The Capture App and Matterport processing actually don't care if you do all the scans on one floor. But it makes a mess of the floorplan sketch view on the Capture app if you do it.
Any trouble linking to MLS? BDPelton 5 8 yearsIPM (34): The realtors I have worked with use the link, using http instead of https. Does embedded code display differently in MLS?
Closets and wardrobes to fill dollhouse RobinLycka 7 8 yearsRobinLycka (727): @Jamie I tried your method yesterday, worked like a charm. I was surprised that I could even move into the area where the door was closed in the first round. I kind of expected it to be perceived as a "wall" in the walkthrough, and that you could only move up to the scan point outside the door. Very happy that the result was otherwise, albeit not needed as it was only a utility and a small cloakroom. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Matterport Cloud and File Downloads BDPelton 3 8 yearsron0987 (2713): Hi @BDPelton, the actual models are all hosted in the cloud/Matterport server and accessed thru their access portal and there is no way to download a finished model. You can download an OBJ file which can be used with other software programs but in that format are useless to show as a model. An OBJ is more of a 3D modeling format that can be converted to be used for again other programs. I hope that helps. Ron

That is the part you cannot remove. A cover image can be manually created several ways with CSS overlayed images. A play button, and logo placed over the Matterport tour thumbnail for instance.

I was doing real estate photography, yard sign installation and measurements for over 6 years for 100's of agents.

Model orientation on iPad Hamid 2 8 yearsjosephthomp (62): I saw this on the forum a couple weeks back from another member who gave the tip of aligning the camera on the very first scan. If you align it squarely with the walls of the building it will align on the ipad. I can't recall but I think if you start with the camera facing North it then North will be at the top on the iPad, maybe the original member can gave that tip can confirm. It's a great tip for all of us who are type A.

Saving Scans to Free Up Space DaveFahrny 2 8 yearsContextImaging (10): I delete my models on my ipad once they are uploaded and are looking good online. I've had only one instance where I needed to go back and change a window on the 2nd floor balcony of this one listing because it cut down through to the first floor and made navigation in that area impossible. So I don't immediately delete once uploaded, but rather once I know the scan is rendered properly.
Crazy Shoot / Crazy Solution Metroplex360 4 8 yearsMetroplex360 (9435): Tosolini - Thanks for posting the link to that thread. I read it and it was VERY interesting.

Short Survey for data gathering Tateo 18 8 yearsfranmts (181): Maybe it's a matter more of technology adoption timing and familiarity. What I mean by that is that any agent knows what to do with good quality photos and videos, 'cause they play nicely on MLS, any portal, people click and it plays. On the other hand we're selling mostly software, which isn't featured yet in Zillow and yet gives brokerages quite a hard time to embed on properties, there's lots of improvement on the back-end yet to be done......

Other Uses 4 Marking Features: Window-Mirror DanSmigrod 10 8 yearsccctucker (154): The reason behind the markers is to stop the errant points that result from the IR penetrating the glass, resulting with skewed points that tell the computer that there may be another room there. When it can't find something else to verify or align to, it makes registration so much more difficult. This is why you see "overspray" in the dollhouse mode, the marker may have been put on, but there is a gap between the actual wall and...

Sanning times REMAX_EDGE 2 8 yearsCarlosFHdz (605): At first, it takes longer because you're being conservative on the distance from scan to scan point. As you get more practice, it will be faster. You will start to push the distance from each scan, specially in bigger rooms. Now, we're at about 35 min per 1000 sqft. I personally did a 6300 sqft property in 3 hours and 4200 sqft property in 2 hours. The layout of the home is also a determining factor in time to scan. I would recommend...

You can order google cardboard kits out of China for as little as $2.19 shipping included, which would make it affordable to buy several hundred to brand and hand out as promotional tools. Only effective though if the VR Showcases will work with Google Cardboard. That said, I've used some Google Cardboard apps...
Sky Light problems DigitalImageries 7 9 yearsDanSmigrod (29694): @DigitalImageries In your Capture workflow, when you have direct sunlight, do that space later in the shoot (as described by @ccctucker). When that's not possible - shooting a stairwell that has a skylight, for example – that you need to shoot to get to the next floor, shoot the stairwell anyway. Then, during the same shoot, return to the stair well to re-scan. In 3D Workshop, disable the original scans. Dan

Shooting Detached Garage and Above Gameroom seanminor 9 9 yearsJohnBecker (388): When you scan the second floor of the garage, it should be a separate "floor" that isn't the same as the second floor of the house. I had a situation like that and Bob Horn at Matterport said that two non-contiguous "second floors" would have to get separate floors assigned to them in Capture. This may have changed since then, but it seems like the safe way to do it.
Marketing Idea Queen_City_3D 10 9 yearsjimduquette (10): Items are always market to market. I ran a couple of properties on individual pages and had good traffic. We've had very good luck on the weekends with people texting in. At the end of the day, its all about lead capture. In an industry where we spend $1,000's/month on lead capture, getting 6-8 text ins every week off of 6-10 signs for $20/month is a good return on investment.
