[How To] create a Business Card in a Matterport Tour using workshop editor plugins.
How did you not get an enormous number of misalignments with how similar the seating areas are? Is it similar at all to like a hallway in a hotel where if everything looks the same you can't make much progress?
Hi i have an insta 360 x3 with sticky lens, & I know the stichibg isn’t the best. Any tips in how to fix the stitching with Zillow?
Worked great!
This was SO HELPFUL! Thank you!
do you normally scan outside?
Thanks perfect
Your videos are so helpful. It's like a virtual job shadow!
He’s making me real nervous he’s about to slice his hand open when he got that exact knife 😂
Super helpful as a new user!
Thanks for the video! Ive seen one of these drop on a metal pipe once before with an unsettling noise being a result of the drop, must've been the spinning mechanism being slightly displaced causing more vibration.
Hey man you’ve got super nice photos of homes. I’m curious if you have a specific company you use to edit your photos? My current RE photo editors just aren’t consistent. Totally understand if you don’t want to share though.
Thank you. I have an in house editing team. There's several editing companies on the web however, boxbrownie.com is one of them.
Awesome thanks, still works in 2024! I'm putting it in my motorbike in case it gets stolen.
Thank you soo much buddy. This video was so smooth.
You're welcome.
Very much enjoyed the reality of this! Looking forward to seeing you do an I Guide.
Thank you, I have a playlist with several iguide scanning videos.. feel free to check them out.
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Make sure u guys remove the copper coil !! If u don’t an u put the air tag close to ur air u can still hear it, remove coil and it’s gone !!
Great video. I wonder how you manage the storage and plans from Matterport for each project. Do you create a new account for each client and then transfer it to them so that they keep paying for the plan? Thanks for any recommendations. And thanks for the video.
Hi, thanks! some clients we upload directly to their matterport account, some we host and charge a monthly hosting, support, and maintenance fee. Just depends on their needs.
@@sparksmediagroup Do you mind sharing how much do you charge per month for 'hosting, support, and maintenance'? Also, for the capture services, how much do you charge? Do you charge by the hour? The size of the property? I am trying to start offering these services in Costa Rica, so any information would be very useful. Thanks.
I find it works well enough for quick turnaround jobs I will often bring the staged image back into photoshop and do a layer mask to even out some of the oddities
its great until you receive tables with 3 legs, the staging of designer table toppers are mixed up. It is a bit iffy if you have a room with dual purposes. AI will need to evolve on this one.
yeah.. I heard they might be releasing a feature to stage two rooms separately, or have 2 different angles using the same furniture. hopefully! its not perfect but is "good enough" good enough?
thanks so much. I had to replay 20 seconds at a time repeatedly but I tried it and now I have the list! You were a great help.
Glad it helped!
Would you be so kind as to tell me how much battery you used for that scan?. Your explanation is not clear to me. Thank you so much.
Hi, I don't remember but it probably was about half.
Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm curious to see the results. Did it end up creating a 3D scan including ceilings and floors?
the link to the actual tour is in the description.
@@sparksmediagroup Got it, thank you. The resolution certainly seems to be lacking when using the iPhone app. But, the Z1 doesn't seem too much better?
yeah i'll be honest, we only offer the pro2 and pro3 scans when doing matterport, I specifically don't offer any other cameras because I don't think the quality is there.
Good job, I followed along and it worked perfectly! Thanks!
You're welcome!
taking apart a $8K 360 camera......I'm crying...but I can't look away.
like watching a train wreck! :)
I am a flatazz tourist when it comes to apps on my phone... I needed to make a decent generalized floorpan of a property I am selling. I started with a tape measure..'no way, even taking half the day was I going to make a decent drawing. I went on CL looking for a draftsman - no response. I stumbled on CC and looked around at a couple of other apps. It took my second try to get a decent walkaround. (I shudda practiced first ..and planned the route w/o the camera going..) You folks in the trades know all about this, but this tourist got a decent print on the second try. Thanks folks. Jim/Maryland
Hi Jim, glad CC worked out for you! it took me a few times to get it right :)
Can i use Matterport pro 3 on starter/free plan ? how accurate is iphone 15pro max with reality ?
the starter/free plan doesn't support the pro3. when given a choice between a phone/Axis, or a matterport pro2/pro3 i'm always going to choose the pro2/pro3
A very helpful video! Is your iPad a Wi-Fi + Cellular version? I am wondering if you upload your scans to your Matterport server space as you go or if you have a Wi-Fi-only version iPad, if you wait to upload the scans until you return to your office. Thanks in advance!
Thanks! my ipad is cellular. I upload on site if possible, just so I can get processing going.
Hi so when are you doing the comparison video?
working on that :)
Tom, Thanks for the video. When you have to return to do a second shoot, do you delete the first? Am I correct you can not update the tours if you miss a room and you have to shoot again?
I haven't had to go back to re-do a zillow space, I think you'd have to start over, good question though, I don't really know.
I do the samething, I always follow up with field measurements. Then I get back to the office, Pull the xyz file into cloud compare and it only differs by mm’s. Quick tip, turn on the “add windows/mirror” tool to ger rid of the scan bubbles. I use adobe fresco and a screen shot to take notes on.
Hi Tom, Thanks for the video. I noticed you have a very fast align time once the scan rotation is done, compared to when I scan. Can I ask what spec is your iPad?
I have the ipad pro 12.9 inch 6th gen with 2 tb hard drive.
Hello Sir, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Made my life much easier to start providing Matterport Services. In terms of the above video, how did you manage to scan the outdoors and how many scan did it take to scan around the property?
Hi! thanks for watching. I used the matterport pro3 to scan. outside was probably 80-100 scans i'd say
Do you have a different rate for outdoor and indoor scans? I suppose that for outdoor scans, you space out each scan a lot more than indoor. Do you also price lower when scan are larger? (For example $3/m2 for spaces 100m2 to 300m2 and $1 for spaces over 10,000m2). Thanks for your videos!
We've tended to keep the rates the same for indoor vs. outdoor. once we get to a certain threshold on sq ft we switch to a day rate. You can scan further apart outside but we usually keep the scan points the same distance.
@@sparksmediagroup oh nice that’s a great pricing method. Thanks for your reply.
What's your technique to keep your scan point aligned like this ? Counting steps or simply experience?
my slight undiagnosed OCD is the technique :) i do count steps sometimes and I do use reference points in the space, maybe a line in the cement or a pattern on the carpet. it helps.
Hey I’m curious how cubicasa works when it comes to scanning exterior patios? Does the patio have to be covered in order for it to generate the floor plan? Or in general, how does it make the floor plan for the exterior?
Hi, you'd have to ask them but in my experience they dont always draw patios, covered or not.
Hey man, great video! Recently purchased the Pro 2 for the business, what would you charge for scans like this more on the construction side ?
hi! thank you. pricing is based on the market (area) you're in and what you feel your time is worth. I do have pricing at www.scanyourspace.com which shows what i'd charge for jobs.
@@sparksmediagroup Just looked at your site, very well layed out the pricing is also very reasonable. I am starting a similar business myself and this helped me out with pricing alot so i appreciate it.
Interesting, thanks for explaining
You bet
You're a life saver. My camera fell out of my bag and the screen stopped working and It would have taken over a month to get it back if I sent it off to be fixed. But with this video I was confident enough to open it up and found my ribbon cables had just detached. It's working just fine now. Thanks!
glad you could fix it!
Thank you for putting this together, Tom!
You're welcome!
Hello! Why is the quality so bad with this camera? I have this camera, it does not shoot in such terrible quality.
I don't think its horrible... but I do prefer the pro 3.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. What's the maximum ceiling height the PRO3 can scan? Let's say a warehouse is 30m in height, can the PRO3 scan the ceiling?
According to Matterport's website you can capture data up to 100m away (when viewing an e57 file). +/- 20mm @ 10m accuracy.
No, I meant the ceiling height. Not sure if vertical scan height is the same as the horizontal scan distance
@@shivtejreddy It's same vertical scan and horizontal scan distance
Matterport will break your old subscription in April 2024.
welp, its past April 2024 and the classic plan is still out there for classic users.
Very useful video
Glad you liked it
What is the device hanging/plugged into the camera?
its an external battery pack. Ayeway Battery Pack: amzn.to/3WiUiti
love the video! do you need to have data or internet connection for the actual shoot or can you upload later when you are back at the office
I always upload while on site just in case there are any issues.
How does it work in a 10,000 sf house with furniture every 5 ft an closets packed to the top???? LOL
I think every house is slightly different, I haven't ran into any issues yet.
Just curious, what are the size of the files that are compiled? What type of file is it, and is it easily embedded into a website for use. How much are you paying for the Matterport subscription.
Thank you, bro
You're welcome
Can i ask, what holder/mount do you use for the Ipad? My company just purchased the pro3 and i have been deep diving into the best use and functionality of it. I used it for the first time today with my iphone, and using an ipad seems sooooo much easier!
I used this one. amzn.to/3Jkc1xH
