      Whilst I haven't posted here in quite some time I'm still SU'ing it full time.
      99% of my stuff is rendered using Enscape, I haven't used Layout in so long that I don't even have a link to it in my taskbar.

      Below are links to some of my panorama tours, I've got over 40 of them done since Covid shut down show homes.

      Here are some Videos:

      Primary Tools:
      SU ..... Obviously
      Enscape for rendering
      3DVista for the pano tours
      Davinci Resolve to edit the videos
      Affinity Designer for the graphics in the tours/videos
      Topaz GigaPixel AI to enarge images

      English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

        Very nice. What hardware are you using to capture 360?

          Comp Spec:
          i9-9900k
          32Gb Ram
          RTX2070 8gb

          Enscape is a cracking renderer, I can knock out an 8k x 4k pano in about 4-5mins, 4k x 3k stills in about 2mins.
          To do the anims I render 20-30 20sec 1920x1080 clips and mash them together in Resolve, I can do all of that in an afternoon.

            Enscape is pretty impressive. Except the glass shader.

            https://i.imgur.com/xFDtnnz.png

            Can you get better glass? is this a 'fast' glass shader?

                Great work Paul!
                I was under the impression that 3dVista was basically for real life environments. How are you combining it with SketchUp to do your interior panos?

                Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

                  I render the 360 panos using Enscape at which point they are just jpg’s like the photographed ones.
                  For most houses I’ll batch render render 20-30 panos. The initial 3DVista tour will take about an hour to setup and publish but after that I can re-render some or all of the panos, overwrite the existing jpg’s and republish the tour quite quickly.

                      Is Enscape bringing in the Google Maps 3D layer? I noticed it in one of the projects environment.

                      These are yummy results though. Really impressive 👍

                        Ha! No…. There’s a story to that one.
                        It’s a site in the centre of Dublin with full height windows so we knew from the start we’d need a photographic panorama taken with a drone (the building didn’t exist at this point).
                        The client said they could do that as “my sons got one of those” … well … it didn’t happen so… we found and booked a commercial drone biz to do it and they constantly “will do it next week when they’re in Dublin” … yea that didn’t happen either.
                        In the end I used the Google Earth desktop app to carefully grab a bunch of screenshots as I panned the camera around and then got them stitched together in PTGUI.

                        It’s not perfect but it’s good enough and certainly better than nothing at all.

                                  Paul, jumping from one panorama to to another via white circles on the floor.. In which program it was made?

                                            Really great to have you back posting again Paul.

                                            I enjoyed reading through the comments and your informative answers. This post is tantamount to a mini Master Class in how to get this sort of work done perfectly.

                                            Maybe you might consider actually doing a Master Class video which could be hosted here? It would help many of our members out and at the same time promote your services.

                                            Keep up the great work 👍

                                            Mike
