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.

A google street view of the real building with a billboard of my virtual images(s) which has a google earth background … Inception!

Top work mate

Sharp as, nicely done.

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

3DVista https://www.3dvista.com/en/
It’s a lot more capable that I use it for. -
Great work. Glad to see you posting here again.
-
Very nice work.
-
Excellent camera movements and sharp render.
-
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

Hi Mike, thanks!
I’ve considered doing something along those lines but then remembered just how poor a communicator I am
What I have thought about is showing someone else what/how I do things and then let them “tell the story”Whilst I’ve had 2 goes at ‘being my own boss’ both resulted in me realising I’m a follower and not a leader.
I’m much better off as an employee with someone else setting the goals, as such I have no need (or want) to ‘promote my services’ but…. I would like to find a way to give back to the community. -
This is very high quality. The material swapping is seamlessly integrated. Brilliant stuff

Thanks
Story time:
Last night I rendered the 49 panos of the 2nd house and spent most of the day painting the masking and then using it to isolate the floors, walls, cupboards etc.
At about 4pm my boss says “oh, and they’ve changed the doors to cream” so….
That’s the 49 of the 1st house and the 49 for the 2nd I rendered last night that all have to be re-rendered and re-processed and then the tour updated…. Fun fun fun …. Not -
Paul mate, you are extremely talented and to mis quote the Martian, "Earth will come to fear your illustration and rendering skills".

This is WIP but as it now working I can show it off, there's a fair bit to do to the interface to make it pretty but its ok for now:
** Link removed as the project is now live and we don’t want odd emails going to the client **
3DVista has what they call Virtual Staging which enables you to place additional images as overlays. I've used it to enable the future homeowners to choose their floor/carpets etc.
You can switch rooms using the menu in the bottom left and then select the element you wish to change.The model has a crap load of tags and scenes as I need to knock out 49 panos which I then mask off to just the reqd overlay (eg 6x stair carpets) in Affinity Photo/Designer.
This will be one of 3 houses for this development so a total of 147 panos will eventually be rendered .... along with what I'd guess to be another 50% again due to amendments.
