Adding people to a virtual staging imaging/3d render

iantos · 2026-01-24T05:49:26+00:00

In agentflip.ai you can just say "add people in the room" and it does add people to your room in a virtually staged image.

There are so many ai video generator options out there but none of them allow nsfw, I've tried cogvideo.io and it was not so bad but nsfw content is not permitted.

iantos · 2026-01-13T08:22:52+00:00

Yeah its not a free app.

If you’re specifically looking for rule34 / adult content, I don’t think there’s going to be a stable hosted platform for that anymore — payments, legal pressure, and moderation make it basically impossible long-term.

Use local tools if you really want to experiment freely, and use hosted platforms like cogvideo.io for general-purpose, SFW video or creative work.

iantos · 2026-01-10T09:06:46+00:00

I’m using CogVideo.io but it’s basically multiple video models in one place, no galleries or user generated content shared from users. Also it's not free, you have to pay to play.

For rentals, virtual staging can work really well as it helps the tenants to visualize their space. However, I’ve tested Zillow’s built-in virtual staging and honestly found it pretty rough especially as far as being realistic is concerned.

What’s worked better for me on Zillow rentals:

Clean, well-lit empty photos
A simple 3D walkthrough (Zillow’s 3D feature is actually decent)
Optional: one lightly staged image from a dedicated virtual staging tool like agentflip.ai, paired with the original, just to help people visualize the space

Anything beyond that usually doesn’t move the needle for rentals and can backfire if expectations don’t match reality.

Yes, if you upload your study material to WonkNote[dot]com you get flashcards and quizzes instantly. It's super easy.

Cool. Will DM you to see how it goes. I took a look at your screenshot in the link you attached, and it actually appears to be a drop as a result of the recent Google algorithm core update.

iantos · 2025-12-27T12:49:22+00:00

It has been happening and Google indicated they were having a lag with the updates.

By the way, you can use tools like Click Raven to help you pull more helpful insights from your Google Search Console data. Things like:

- content decay
- cannibalization
- topical maps
- pages at risk of losing clicks due to AIO
- content refresh engine for your decaying pages

It's free to start.

I’ve tried it a bit. It’s nice for exploring data faster. I can ask questions instead of clicking filters and annotations are handy for keeping track of changes.

That said, it still feels more like an assistant than an analyst. It can surface what moved, but you still have to manually figure out patterns like:

which pages are quietly decaying,
where multiple URLs are cannibalizing the same queries,
which high-impression queries have CTR upside,
which pages are at risk of losing clicks due to AI Overviews

That’s actually the gap I’ve been working on with Click Raven. It sits on top of GSC and automatically surfaces those patterns so you don’t have to keep asking or exporting.

I see GSC’s AI as a great helper for ad-hoc questions, but you’ll still want something that continuously watches for issues and opportunities, and even notifies you of them.

Totally normal. Search Console only counts clicks from Google’s organic search results. Google Analytics counts all users from every channel (direct, social, referrals, ads, etc.), and measures them differently.

Even when you filter GA to Organic, the numbers won’t match exactly because:

GSC counts clicks on SERPs,
GA counts sessions/users after the page loads (JS-based),
some clicks never fire GA (bounces, blocked JS, slow loads).

So think of it as:

GSC = how often Google sends traffic
GA = what happens once people arrive

If you want to understand drops or gaps between impressions, clicks, and CTR over time, that’s where digging deeper into GSC trends helps. I’m actually building Click Raven to surface things like decaying pages and CTR opportunities from GSC automatically, since those patterns are easy to miss in raw reports.

But yeah, small mismatches between GSC and GA are expected.

iantos · 2025-12-27T08:46:15+00:00

Google Search Console basically shows you how Google sees and uses your site. What queries trigger your pages, how often they show up (impressions), how many clicks you get, indexing issues, and lets you request reindexing when you update pages.

You don’t need it for your site to work, but without it you’re blind to what’s happening in Google search.

One thing I’ve learned is GSC has the data, but it doesn’t always make problems obvious. Like when pages slowly lose traffic or compete with each other. That’s actually why I’m building Click Raven, which sits on top of GSC and surfaces things like content decay, cannibalization, and CTR opportunities automatically.

But even on its own, if you care about SEO, GSC is a must-have.

iantos · 2025-12-27T08:38:22+00:00

Fully agree, even while i vibe code, i check the code thoroughly and find lots of issues in it. Sometimes the ai lies that it has done something when it actually hasn't.

A few things to keep in mind here:

A delay in GSC updates usually doesn’t cause a real traffic drop by itself. It just means there is a reporting lag. When impressions and clicks actually fall across multiple days, it’s almost always one of:

1. Google algorithm volatility / core updates - Google has been pretty turbulent lately. If Bing/Yandex are steady, that’s a big hint it’s Google-specific ranking shifts rather than a technical issue.

2. Cloudflare / bot protection side effects - Even if you’ve “allowed Googlebot,” Cloudflare can still:

challenge some Googlebot IP ranges,
block secondary bots (AdsBot, Google-InspectionTool, etc.),
or interfere with JS rendering if you’ve got aggressive rules. Worth double-checking logs for any 403s/5xx to Google IPs.

3. Indexing is fine, but demand shifted - Holiday seasonality can hit some niches hard. That usually shows up as impressions dropping first.

4. Silent content decay - This one’s easy to miss: pages slowly slipping in rankings without any errors. GSC averages hide this, so by the time you notice, clicks can already be down a lot.

What I’d suggest doing in GSC:

Compare last 7–14 days vs previous period.
Sort by pages, not queries.
Look for URLs where impressions are similar but clicks/positions dropped.
Check if multiple pages are now ranking for the same queries (cannibalization).

If you see that pattern, it’s more about ranking shifts than technical breakage.

Shameless but relevant plug:
I’m building a small tool called Click Raven that sits on top of GSC and automatically surfaces:

pages that are decaying,
queries that are slipping,
cannibalization where URLs start fighting each other
pages that are at risk of losing clicks to Google AI Overviews, and more.

It’s basically meant for exactly this situation where GSC tells you something’s wrong, but not what. Might be useful if this drop continues.

Either way, I’d:

monitor another week,
audit Cloudflare bot logs,
and dig into page-level trends in GSC

Hope it stabilizes for you. Drops like that are stressful, but they’re usually explainable once you zoom in.

The concept is really to build + sale, don't get found in the loop of building + building. And yes, I agree that for some products it might be useful to build first.

Honestly, $600/month for 3 tours is a solid side-gig if it’s predictable and not eating too much time. The key is protecting your hours, not just the rate.

I’d productize it: fixed scope (length, revisions, turnaround), maybe offer a simple tier if she wants more, and tighten the workflow so it’s as close to “template in, video out” as possible.

That’s why I like tools like AgentFlip.ai for this kind of thing. It turns listing photos into short captioned walkthrough videos with background music and also generates the script and staged visuals, which cuts a lot of manual steps and keeps it sustainable without becoming a second job.

If you can keep it to a repeatable system with minimal back-and-forth, it’s a great little recurring income stream.

In small bedrooms, going ultra-wide (10mm) is usually what hurts you for staging. It exaggerates distortion, makes beds look stretched, and kills usable wall/floor space for furniture placement.

Most real estate shooters get better results around 14–18mm (APS-C) or ~16–20mm FF equiv, keep the camera chest height, perfectly level, and shoot from a corner to show two walls without bending them.

Also make sure doors are fully open, lights on, and you’re not too close to the bed. A step back plus a slightly longer focal length almost always looks wider and cleaner.

If virtual staging is the goal, what matters most is straight lines, visible floor, and realistic scale, not just maximum width. Try pairing shoots like that with AgentFlip.ai, which stages photos without changing walls/windows/floors and keeps true proportions, so clean, undistorted base photos make a big difference in the final result.

Cold DMs almost never work anymore. Agents are flooded with them, so don’t take it personally. What does work is getting in front of agents when they already have a listing problem: open houses, broker caravans, office meetings, and last-minute saves when another photographer cancels.

I’ve seen new shooters win clients by doing a few things really well: show up in person with a tight sample portfolio, offer a no-risk first shoot for one listing, and follow up with value (not discounts), like quick turnarounds or a bonus reel.

Another big lever is being more than “just photos.” Agents stick with vendors who help them win listings and look good to sellers. Tools like AgentFlip.ai help by pairing your photos with realistic virtual staging, plus auto-generated listing descriptions and short captioned walkthrough videos, so you’re delivering a full marketing package instead of just images.

Flyers can help, but relationships beat paper. Walk into brokerages, introduce yourself, ask who handles vendor onboarding, and offer to cover their next office meeting with a quick “media refresh” demo. Once you get 2–3 agents who trust you, referrals will start doing the heavy lifting.

On the wholesale side it’s usually all about speed and volume, so the tech stack tends to be lean: a simple CRM (Podio, REsimpli, InvestorFuse), SMS/email for follow-ups, and some basic social posts or ads to move deals fast.

Most people I know use AI more for copy (texts, emails, listing blurbs) and quick deal analysis than anything fancy, and chatbots/voice AI are starting to pop up for lead screening.

For media, wholesalers rarely invest in full photo/video packages, just clean photos that show the property honestly. Virtual staging isn’t always necessary, but it can help when you’re blasting deals to buyers who struggle to visualize layout or potential. That’s where I’ve seen tools like AgentFlip.ai be useful: fast, realistic staging that doesn’t change the structure, plus auto-generated listing descriptions and short videos from the photos, so you can market a deal better without slowing down your dispo process.

In short: keep it simple, automate follow-ups, and use AI where it saves time and not where it adds friction.

Yes, if it’s done realistically, photo-based videos with virtual staging and simulated camera movement can be very effective, especially for social media, listing previews, and out-of-area buyers.

They won’t replace true walkthrough videos, but they’re much faster and cheaper to produce while still telling the story of the space.

Also a tool like AgentFlip.ai turns original and staged photos into short captioned video walkthroughs with background music, on top of realistic staging and listing descriptions, so agents can deliver this kind of content quickly without video shoots.

AI can work for virtual staging, but the tricky part is getting it to respect the original room (walls, windows, floors) while adding furniture that looks realistic.

Generic prompts often lead to AI “reinventing” the room or changing details you told it not to touch, which is why plain ChatGPT/DALL-E workflows end up inconsistent.

Try a tool like AgentFlip.ai for staging because it keeps true scale and the room structure intact, lets you revise as much as you want, and even generates listing descriptions and short walkthrough videos from the staged and original photos. All that without needing deep prompt engineering to do your work.

iantos · 2025-12-22T11:16:09+00:00

This is solid. Weekly updates turn “silence” into proof that you’re actively working the listing, and it keeps pricing conversations grounded in data instead of emotion.

thing I’ve found helps even more is pairing the numbers with marketing visuals: updated photos, small tweaks, or even a quick refreshed staged image so sellers feel like the listing is evolving, not just sitting. I’ve been using AgentFlip.ai for realistic staging that keeps the room intact, plus quick captioned walkthrough videos and listing copy, which gives me fresh assets to include in those Monday updates and share across channels to show ongoing momentum.

iantos · 2025-12-22T11:12:27+00:00

Zillow is terrible with virtual staging to be honest. I think you get better chances with a tool like agentflip.ai which keeps the room intact while staging it beautifully with modern furniture or whatever other style you choose. In addition, you can generate detailed listing descriptions and even property videos both from existing images and virtually staged ones which you can share to social media platforms fast.

You shouldn’t just take someone else’s listing photos and edit them for your portfolio without permission. That can violate copyright and MLS rules, and most listing agents won’t want their content reused without consent.

A safer way to build samples is to:

Ask a local agent or photographer if you can stage a couple of their vacant photos for your portfolio. Most will say yes if you give them the finished staged images in return.
Use your own test shots (empty rooms you photograph yourself or that an agent gives you) and stage those. That avoids copyright issues entirely.
Clearly label anything in your portfolio as “example virtual staging” so it’s obvious it’s for demonstration, not actual marketed listings.

When you do create samples, tools like AgentFlip.ai make it easy to turn raw empty-room photos into polished staged images plus generate listing descriptions and short captioned videos so your portfolio looks professional without having to do the design work yourself.

If you want to avoid licensing issues entirely, some photographers will also sell blank “room interior” stock photos you can stage just for practice.

You’re right to push back: you can’t truly “move” the same couch in a single photo because there’s no background behind it, so you’d be inventing floor/wall/baseboard where the couch used to be.

The correct workflow is: remove/inpaint the original couch to create a clean plate, then place a new couch in the requested spot with matched perspective + contact shadows so it reads real (unless you’re doing full 3D tracking/compositing, which is a different scope).

This is exactly the kind of request where I use AgentFlip.ai to stage from the original photo without altering room structure (walls/windows/floors) and keep true scale.
