iGuide 3D virtual tour from beginning to end

[@andrewfisher175]

Greetings from Sydney, Australia mate, love your videos. They were a big help in me learning how to use the Planix Pro a year ago. Any chance you could do a comparison video with the new Planix R1 camera just announced today? It looks epic. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@sparksmediagroup]

Hi, thanks.. they just announced the r1 today, I don't have it yet.

[@RealEstateTorontoPhotography]

Thank you for the very detailed Video.

[@sparksmediagroup]

You are welcome!

@@sparksmediagroup Quick question Tom, iGuide looks more complicated than a Matterport what are the benefits of the iGuide over the Matterport if at all ?

[@sparksmediagroup]

New video coming soon.

[@wldktz1]

@@RealEstateTorontoPhotography One of the advantages is the floorpan and room measurement that come standard with every tour. I shot a 6100 sq ft home in 103 scans right at 45 minutes. You can also edit and replace the panos.

I recommend you thieves start running away because you have no idea where you stand

[@codyprealtor]

do you normally scan outside?

[@sparksmediagroup]

it depends on the order the agent places, sometimes we do, sometimes we don't.

[@StephanieBishop-z5e]

Hi thank you for the informative video. I am confused what you meant by having to go back because you did not record a video. What should I ensure I do to avoid this mistake, as I cannot find anything about this? Thank you, Steph

[@sparksmediagroup]

I went back to record the youtube video, nothing in regards to the iguide.

[@oregonhomeinspections3692]

In terms of timing. How do you know when you are clear to walk back into the scene without being in the shot? I notice you walk back to the camera before the wheel stops spinning.TIA!

[@sparksmediagroup]

the camera makes a chip sound when its done.

[@patryks5510]

Hi. Can you use iGuide Core (without Camera) only for scans and 2d floor plans (i you dont need virtual tour) ?

[@sparksmediagroup]

I don't think so but I haven't tried it.

[@patryks5510]

@@sparksmediagroup What device/program or method would you recomend in this situation ( without using expensive scanners like leica rtc/blk). Can you recomend something faster than hand mesurement (with laser mesure and draving "by hand" on site) ?

[@thepopculturecurator]

Hey Tom, I was wondering how you handled hosting of your matterport spaces. Do you include a time period that the files are hosted for when creating tours? Thanks so much for the content, I've been learning a lot from you!

[@sparksmediagroup]

Hi! thanks for the comment! i'll make a video about this actually in the next few days! stay tuned.

[@mgtazco]

Thank you!

Can you skip scanning closets if the accuracy of their inner dimensions is not important? Scanning them seems time consuming and it's not crucial for me.

[@sparksmediagroup]

In order to get the most accurate floorplan (not just for measurements but also layout) i'd recommend scanning closets. I've almost missed rooms because I thought they were a small coat closet. It's just good practice and 4-6 scans doesn't add that much more time

[@trip_the_deep]

@@sparksmediagroup thanks for the response. I was also curious about the processing speed per scan, I wonder if the processing takes place on the device running the website or the unit itself? Just curious if the faster the tablet the faster the overall process goes.

[@sparksmediagroup]

Processing is done after the fact.. having a really fast tablet wouldn't speed up the capture process imho as no data is written to the tablet unlike matterport. with iGuide everything is written to a thumb drive.

[@rhvreramon]

What do you charge per sq ft or flat fee.

[@amotionfilmscanada]

Hi! How does iGuide treat outside space when it comes to charging for sq/ft? Thanks!

[@sparksmediagroup]

Hi, I don't believe they charge for outside spaces, you'll want to contact iGuide support to verify.

[@GlenBrain]

Does anyone know of an optimal tripod height for getting the best/most accurate scans?

[@sparksmediagroup]

I scan at about 5' or 5'5"

[@bradydugan6887]

Super helpful as a new user!

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

if this companies add the transition effect and remover the jump one i maybe swich, i hate mattaport but the system is almost perfect with the transition

[@davidjamespeterson]

I may be in the minority, but I like to have my Planix camera facing the same direction for every shot (typically toward the front of the house). Makes for much easier manual alignment if the auto-alignment fails.

[@sparksmediagroup]

I started with the IMS-5 and had to learn to manually align each scan so I never got into the habit of pointing the camera in a set direction each time I started. personally, I think it would slow down the shoot time a bit by ensuring its facing the same direction each time but if it helps you be more accurate then go for it!
