Hi All,

WP3D Models Wordpress Plug-in Developer @rpetersn has been providing a free tool - for 2+ years - to enable Matterport Pros to download all SnapShots in a .zip file in 1-click. (WP3D ZIP IT!)

Today (Wednesday, 7 June 2017), Matterport advertises in its newsletter:

"Tired of downloading Snapshots one by one in Workshop? Now you can download ALL of your Snapshots with the click of a button! All you need to do is click the “Download All” button in Workshop."

Am I the only one that feels Matterport IGNORES its 3rd party developers (even while saying it embraces them)?

How hard would it have been to acknowledge that Ross solved a real problem for the Matterport Community 2+ years ago and that Matterport took his lead to add this functionality.

It feels awkward when Matterport does this. Matterport also did not acknowledge the pioneering work of Blue-Sketch that provided 2D schematic floor plans before Matterport; prevents @metroplex360 from offering much enhanced automated MatterStats tool for Matterport statistics; nor did Matterport acknowledge the pioneering work done by @Garysnyder with his pioneering VR service - well before Matterport launched Virtual Reality (VR).

Hmmmm.....

By the way, shortly after Ross' plugin was free - exclusively for We Get Around Network Forum Members (free to join) - did Matterport add this functionality.

Is it just me or is Matterport missing opportunities to thank 3rd party developers for solving real-word problems for Matterport Pros before Matterport could devote the resources to do so?

Dan

Matterport has had a one-click download in the Matterport Cloud for quite a long time.




This is new as it allows MSPs to choose the quality at the time of download -- including new maximum resolution images that have never been available before.

In order to replicate this, one would need to automate pulling the viewing parameters from the snapshots, automatically download the 2k cube faces through reverse engineering, build the pano, then position it with the parameters and create a jpeg outputting routine. Add a batch function for generating these and there you go.

For the Pro2, there's no way to pull the 4k cube faces, so one would have to reassemble 384 4k tiles per pano and injest it into the same procedure.

I constantly have problems with the download all button from matterport. It seems like I am missing random photos at random times with no rhyme or reason... I have had no such issues from @rpetersn tool. Thumbs way up!

To all the other snubs of 3rd party work...For shame Matterport, for shame.
