Not posted here in quite a while - Here's what I'm doing now

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.

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

Excellent work ! Glad to see you posting again.

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?

[Paul Russam]

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.

Stunning work!

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

[Paul Russam]

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!

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

[Paul Russam]

3DVista https://www.3dvista.com/en/
It’s a lot more capable that I use it for.

[boofredlay]

Great work. Glad to see you posting here again.

[jo-ke]

Very nice work.

[Bryan K]

Excellent camera movements and sharp render.

[Mike Lucey]

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

[Paul Russam]

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
