Got it figured out, for some reason the instance did not deploy correctly and failed to create the /opt/bitnami/wordpress/ directory. Deleted the instance and started over. Learned that ~/wordpress/ has been moved out of ~/apps/ in 6.*.* so just created the ~/VirtualTours/ at /opt/bitnami/wordpress/VirtualTours/.

@@joshuagoodfellow7554 thanks!!, this really helped me. How did you go about the ? I can't find the htaccess file

Did you ever figure this out, trying to follow along in 2024 and this is my issue as well.

😂😂😂

@bldtv7038 did you figure this out yet? I'm curious how you managed this. I'm a small photographer looking to start offering 3dvista but the high hosting fees made me start searching for other options. What did you decide to do?

@@JustAnotherChannel100 Hi. I figured it out yes. I took the 1gb storage limit offered by 3dvista. The saving and hosting is easily done. The solution tbh is compression. You’ll need to compress your 360 images to a level that they don’t lose their quality. That’s a trick in itself btw with a lot of testing and uploading to determine results, I was able to fit appropriately fifty 360 images to the 1gb allowance.

Will be back!

It does! I use it on a Mac

Honestly just life man! I’m moving and I got married. Will restart once I’m settled!

Good question! We’re just using it as a server so it doesn’t really matter, it just needs to run our Wordpress site ans have some storage. Windows instances are usually more expensive.

@@360TourDude and is there any way we can connect with you over zoom and get help from you?

My pleasure!

Hi Ariza, only time that happened to me was when I started off with a blank template and didn't have any pictures loaded in. Maybe that's the reason? Otherwise, maybe it's a software/hardware issue, try reinstalling 3D Vista maybe?

I have a video covering just that. Check it out!

Hi Kelvin! Yes absolutely. I used to have the Insta360 OneR and it’s basically a must to do some post processing. I think I saw that photoshop has a better tool these days, something along what gigapixel does, so if you already have photoshop, check that out first! Cheers Felix

@@360TourDude thats great i would like to know which tool or plugin in photoshop. I can google tutorial and do up test.

No prob! Good luck

Hi Dario! I have a video on how to host your own tours here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vJlIKnbNFmedk Gives you complete access over your own resources.

Yep. You have full control on which direction the texture is pointing. Can resize/rotate and move it anywhere.

@@360TourDude cool thx and how do I do it? Because when I select the hot spot I can only resize it. Thanks

I find it depends on the camera. The 360 one R I used to have needed it. The Z1 not so much!

@@360TourDude I use the Insta360 One X. Good camera to start out but I do plan to upgrade to the Z1 some day when they are available again.

I see you are a fellow Canadian. I'm out in BC!

Hi Travis, def worth using AWS. Once it’s set up, it’s really easy to maintain and update. Aiming to release that video next week!

Haha noted!

Thanks!

Thanks Yorgos! What server do you use? How do you like it?

I think Metareal can become a real contender but from my experience it is too involved and time consuming. Kuula is just too simple, I started there. Matterport is too expensive and the options for customization are meh. So here we are with 3D Vista lol

@@360TourDude 3D Vista are we able to generate floor plan with dimension / scale. I need measurement feature badly because most of my client are renovation & interior design firm.

@@nicksonchang3301 there’s no option for measurement as far as I know. I think for that you’d want Metareal, matterport, or Cupix

@@360TourDude Thanks Dude. Btw which 360 camera you are using? Quality looks good

Using the Theta Z1. I switched from the Insta360 One R. The quality on the Z1 is better but I have to say that the user experience with the Insta360 is way better.

It’s a huge difference! I’ll make a quick video about it, it’s in the works. But basically it adds a massive amount of clarity as you’re looking around. No blurry weirdness!

Hi Alex, From my research I’m pretty sure both 3D vista and Pano2VR can generally do the same things. My main reason for choosing 3D vista was because I felt the user interface was a bit more straight forward and there were more presets for skins and also examples along with tutorial videos. Hope this helps let me know if you had more questions!
